We use built-in pgoutput and a client application did an HOT update to a column , that data type is "text" and real data length is 756711422 bytes. it's pg logical decoding throw out of memory error when decode "WAL records belong to table" , and string buffer total size exceed 1GB. But this table is NOT on publication list and not in replication either, possible to make logical decoding to ignore the wal records that belong to "NOT in replication list" tables ? that can help reduce this kind of error.
