Hi Nisha,

Some review comments for v66-0001.

src/backend/replication/slot.c

ReportSlotInvalidation:

1.
  StringInfoData err_detail;
+ StringInfoData err_hint;
  bool hint = false;

  initStringInfo(&err_detail);
+ initStringInfo(&err_hint);


I don't think you still need the 'hint' boolean anymore.

Instead of:
hint ? errhint("%s", err_hint.data) : 0);

You could just do something like:
err_hint.len ? errhint("%s", err_hint.data) : 0);

2.
+ appendStringInfo(&err_hint, "You might need to increase \"%s\".",
+ "max_slot_wal_keep_size");
  break;
2a.
In this case, shouldn't you really be using macro _("You might need to
increase \"%s\".") so that the common format string would be got using
gettext()?

Should you include a /* translator */ comment here? Other places where
GUC name is substituted do this.

~~~

3.
+ appendStringInfo(&err_hint, "You might need to increase \"%s\".",
+ "idle_replication_slot_timeout");
+ break;

Ditto above. IMO this common format string should be got using macro.
e.g.: _("You might need to increase \"%s\".")
