Hi,
The time based lag tracking commit [1] added interface for logging
progress of replication so that we can report lag as time interval
instead of just bytes. But the patch didn't contain patch for the
builtin logical replication.
So I wrote something that implements this. I didn't like all that much
the API layering in terms of exporting the walsender's LagTrackerWrite()
for use by plugin directly. Normally output plugin does not have to care
if it's running under walsender or not, it uses abstracted write
interface for that which can be implemented in various ways (that's how
we implement SQL interface to logical decoding after all). So I decided
to add another function to the logical decoding write api called
update_progress and call that one from the output plugin. The walsender
then implements that new API to call the LagTrackerWrite() while the SQL
interface just does not implement it at all. This seems like cleaner way
of doing it.
Thoughts?
