Yes, the top-up patch will give an error if the columns in row filter are not part of
replica identity when UPDATE and DELETE.

But the point I want to confirm is that:

---
create publication A for table tbl1 where (b<2) with(publish='insert');
create publication B for table tbl1 where (a>1) with(publish='update');
---

When UPDATE on the table 'tbl1', is it correct to combine and execute both of
the row filter in A(b<2) and B(a>1) ?(it's the current behavior)

Because the filter in A has an unlogged column(b) and the publication A only
publish "insert", so for UPDATE, should we skip the row filter in A and only
execute the row filter in B ?
