The other approach to fix this issue could be that the slotsync worker
get the serialized snapshot using pg_read_binary_file() corresponding
to restart_lsn and writes those at standby. But there are cases when
we won't have such a file like (a) when we initially create the slot
and reach the consistent_point, or (b) also by the time the slotsync
worker starts to read the remote snapshot file, the snapshot file
could have been removed by the checkpointer on the primary (if the
restart_lsn of the remote has been advanced in this window). So, in
such cases, we anyway need to advance the slot. I think these could be
optimizations that we could do in the future.
Few comments:
=============
1.

Add comments at both of the above places.

+extern XLogRecPtr pg_logical_replication_slot_advance(XLogRecPtr moveto,
+ bool *found_consistent_point);

This API looks a bit awkward as the functionality doesn't match the
name. How about having a function with name
LogicalSlotAdvanceAndCheckReadynessForDecoding(moveto,
ready_for_decoding) with the same functionality as your patch has for
pg_logical_replication_slot_advance() and then invoke it both from
pg_logical_replication_slot_advance and slotsync.c. The function name
is too big, we can think of a shorter name. Any ideas?
