Hi,

Thanks for updating the patch. I tested some cases like toast data, combination
of row filter and column lists, and it works well.

Here is a comment:

+# Ensure the COPY command is executed in binary format on the publisher
+$node_publisher->wait_for_log(qr/LOG: ( [a-z0-9]+:)? COPY (.+)? TO STDOUT WITH \(FORMAT binary\)/);

The test failed with `log_error_verbosity = verbose` because it couldn't match
the following log:
2023-03-16 09:45:50.096 CST [2499415] pg_16398_sync_16391_7210954376230900539 LOG:  00000: statement: COPY public.test_arrays (a, b, c) TO STDOUT WITH (FORMAT binary)

I think we should make it pass, see commit 19408aae7f.
Should it be changed to:

$node_publisher->wait_for_log(qr/LOG: ( [A-Z0-9]+:)? statement: COPY (.+)? TO STDOUT WITH \(FORMAT binary\)/);

Besides, for the same reason, this line also needs to be modified.
+$node_publisher->wait_for_log(qr/LOG: ( [a-z0-9]+:)? COPY (.+)? TO STDOUT\n/);
