Here are some review comments for v62-0002

~~~

1. src/backend/replication/pgoutput/pgoutput.c -
pgoutput_row_filter_update_check

+ * If the change is to be replicated this function returns true, else false.
+ *
+ * Examples: Let's say the old tuple satisfies the row filter but the new tuple
+ * doesn't. Since the old tuple satisfies, the initial table synchronization
+ * copied this row (or another method was used to guarantee that there is data
+ * consistency).  However, after the UPDATE the new tuple doesn't satisfy the

The word "Examples:" should be on a line by itself; not merged with
the 1st example "Let's say...".

~~~

2. src/backend/replication/pgoutput/pgoutput.c -
pgoutput_row_filter_update_check

+ /*
+ * For updates, both the new tuple and old tuple needs to be checked
+ * against the row filter. The new tuple might not have all the replica
+ * identity columns, in which case it needs to be copied over from the old
+ * tuple.
+ */

Typo: "needs to be checked" --> "need to be checked"

3. src/backend/replication/pgoutput/pgoutput.c - pgoutput_row_filter_init

Missing blank line before a couple of block comments, here:

bool pub_no_filter = false;
List    *schemarelids = NIL;
/*
* If the publication is FOR ALL TABLES then it is treated the
* same as if this table has no row filters (even if for other
* publications it does).
*/
if (pub->alltables)
pub_no_filter = true;
/*
* If the publication is FOR ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA and it overlaps
* with the current relation in the same schema then this is also
* treated same as if this table has no row filters (even if for
* other publications it does).
*/
else

4. src/backend/replication/pgoutput/pgoutput.c - pgoutput_row_filter_init

This function was refactored out of the code from pgoutput_row_filter
in the v62-0001 patch. So probably there are multiple comments from my
earlier v62-0001 review [1] of that pgoutput_row_filter function, that
now also apply to this pgoutput_row_filter_init function.

~~~

5. src/tools/pgindent/typedefs.list - ReorderBufferChangeType

Actually, the typedef for ReorderBufferChangeType was added in the
62-0001, so this typedef change should've been done in patch 0001 and
it can be removed from patch 0002
