Hi hackers,
I've attached an attempt at porting a similar change to 05a7be9 [0] to
logical/worker.c. The bulk of the patch is lifted from the walreceiver
patch, but I did need to add a hack for waking up after
wal_retrieve_retry_interval to start sync workers. This hack involves a
new wakeup variable that process_syncing_tables_for_apply() sets.
For best results, this patch should be applied on top of [1], which is an
attempt at fixing all the stuff that only runs within a reasonable
timeframe because logical worker processes currently wake up at least once
a second. With the attached patch applied, those periodic wakeups are
gone, so we need to make sure we wake up the logical workers as needed.
