Dirty replication slots when using sql interface
Simon Riggs <simon@2ndQuadrant.com>
Dirty replication slots when using sql interface When pg_logical_slot_get_changes(...) sets confirmed_flush_lsn to the point at which replay stopped, it doesn't dirty the replication slot. So if the replay didn't cause restart_lsn or catalog_xmin to change as well, this change will not get written out to disk. Even on a clean shutdown. If Pg crashes or restarts, a subsequent pg_logical_slot_get_changes(...) call will see the same changes already replayed since it uses the slot's confirmed_flush_lsn as the start point for fetching changes. The caller can't specify a start LSN when using the SQL interface. Mark the slot as dirty after reading changes using the SQL interface so that users won't see repeated changes after a clean shutdown. Repeated changes still occur when using the walsender interface or after an unclean shutdown. Craig Ringer
