Initially, I had naively set wal_consistency_check = all before running
make installcheck and then had to wait for a long time to confirm that WAL
generated by the gin test indeed caused consistency check failure on the
standby with the v1 patch.
But I can see Sawada-san's point that there should be some way for
developers writing code that better had gone through WAL consistency
checking facility to do it without much hassle. But then again, it may
not be that frequent to need that.
Thanks,
