As per my understanding, this will primarily rely on the apply worker design, not the other configurations, whether we see additional LOG. > So, > rather than coming back to this test again, I would choose to make the > test as stable as possible from the start.

But if you and others are still not convinced with the simple fix suggested by me then feel free to proceed with an error-string based check. -- With Regards, Amit Kapila.
