as promised here is WIP version of logical replication patch.


Thank you for working on this!

Thanks for looking!


I've applied these patches to current HEAD, but got the following error.

libpqwalreceiver.c:48: error: redefinition of typedef ‘WalReceiverConnHandle’
../../../../src/include/replication/walreceiver.h:137: note: previous
declaration of ‘WalReceiverConnHandle’ was here
make[2]: *** [libpqwalreceiver.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [install-backend/replication/libpqwalreceiver-recurse] Error 2
make: *** [install-src-recurse] Error 2

After fixed this issue with attached patch, I used logical replication a little.
Some random comments and questions.


Interesting, my compiler does have problem. Will investigate.

The logical replication launcher process and the apply process are
implemented as a bgworker. Isn't better to have them as an auxiliary
process like checkpointer, wal writer?
IMO the number of logical replication connections should not be
limited by max_worker_processes.


What Craig said reflects my rationale for doing this pretty well.

We need to set the publication up by at least CREATE PUBLICATION and
ALTER PUBLICATION command.
Can we make CREATE PUBLICATION possible to define tables as well?
For example,
CREATE PUBLICATION mypub [ TABLE table_name, ...] [WITH options]

Agreed, that just didn't make it to the first cut to -hackers. We've been also thinking of having special ALL TABLES parameter there that would encompass whole db.

Yeah that's because of the patch 0006, I didn't finish all the dependency tracking for the pg_subscription_rel catalog that it adds (which is why I called it PoC). I expect to have this working in next version (there is still quite a bit of polish work needed in general).
