IIUC, the review comments that are yet to be addressed apart from the
ongoing grammar
discussion, are as follows:

1. Behaviour on dropping a column from the table, that is a part of column
filter.
In the latest patch, the entire table is dropped from publication on
dropping a column
that is a part of the column filter. However, there is preference for
another approach
to drop just the column from the filter on DROP column CASCADE(continue to
filter
the other columns), and an error for DROP RESTRICT.

2. Instead of WITH RECURSIVE query to find the topmost parent of the
partition
in fetch_remote_table_info, use pg_partition_tree and pg_partition_root.

3. Report of memory leakage in get_rel_sync_entry().

4. Missing documentation

5. Latest comments(last two messages) by Peter Smith.

Thank you,
Rahila Syed
