Hm, good point. That probably means that you *do* need fencepost
records, and furthermore that you might need an interlock to ensure that
you get the fencepost in early enough on the other stream. Ugh ---
there goes your concurrency.
What about having a single WAL stream for all commit records (thereby
avoiding any possible xact-serialization funnies) and other WAL records
divided up among multiple streams in some fashion or other? A commit
record would bear minimum-LSN pointers for all the streams that its
transaction had written to. Things like HEAP_CLEAN records would bear
minimum-LSN pointers for the commit stream. Workable?
