I guess one of us misunderstand the other:( and I do didn't check the
code very carefully.
Acutally I meant the "return value" rather than function argument. IIUC
the current return value is void per below statement.
>> + <returnvalue>void</returnvalue>
If so, when users call pg_wal_replay_wait, they can get informed when
the wal is replaied to the target_lsn, but they can't know how long time
it waits unless they check it in application side, I think such
information will be useful for monitor purpose sometimes.
select pg_wal_replay_wait(lsn, 1000); may just take 1ms in fact, in
this case, I want this function return 1.
