The problem is that the master could well make changes that would remove rows in that snapshot because the master does
notknow anything about the rows that need preserving for the replica's query. 

That said, IIRC there may be something in 9.4 or 9.5 which provides for the replica to send that info to the server in
orderto coordinate things, but I haven't used that and so cannot offer more.
