当在使用greenplum过程中有不当的操作时，可能会出现segment节点宕掉的情况（比如在greenplum运行的过程中停掉其中几台segment节点的服务器），通过下面的方法可以恢复segment。
下面是现场出现的故障情况：

可以看到有6个节点Failed，有2个节点的Primary和Mirror交换了。
一、首先需要停掉GP
gpstop -M fast -a 这样会告诉你有几个节点DOWN了
二、启动GP
gpstart 启动数据库会忽略DOWN的节点
三、生成一个恢复配置文件
gprecoverseg -o ./recov 会在当前目录生成一个recov文件，里面包含了要恢复的节点信息
recov文件内容如下：（注意：这个文件不是手动创建的，而是通过gprecoverseg -o ./recov命令生成的
filespaceOrder=
tj-soc-c04-csfb2:41000:/data1/gpdata/mirror/gpseg0 tj-soc-c04-csfb2:41001:/data1/gpdata/mirror/gpseg1 tj-soc-c04-csfb3:41000:/data1/gpdata/mirror/gpseg2 tj-soc-c04-csfb3:41001:/data1/gpdata/mirror/gpseg3 tj-soc-c04-csfb1:41000:/data1/gpdata/mirror/gpseg6 tj-soc-c04-csfb1:41001:/data1/gpdata/mirror/gpseg7
四、使用恢复配置文件恢复节点
$gprecoverseg -i ./recov
恢复过程中可以用gpstate -m 查看恢复状态：Resynchronizing（表示正在恢复中），Synchronized（表示恢复完毕）
五、调整Primary和Mirror
上面的情况中有Primary和Mirror兑换的情况，所以需要把他们换回来，可以用下面的命令
gprecoverseg -r
等待所有的节点都是Synchronized后，segment就恢复好了
Greenplum failed segment的恢复方法--primary与mirror都可修复
