I doubt the following part:
If the <literal>log</literal> value is specified,
<command>COPY</command> behaves the same as
<literal>ignore</literal>, exept that
it logs information that should have resulted in errors to
PostgreSQL log at
<literal>INFO</literal> level.
I think it does something like:
When an error happens, cstate->escontext->error_data->elevel will be ERROR
you manually change the cstate->escontext->error_data->elevel to LOG,
then you call ThrowErrorData.
but it's not related to `<literal>INFO</literal> level`?
my log_min_messages is default, warning.
