That would be tricky because the list of subscription OIDs can be
longer than the workers. Can't we set a boolean variable
(check_immediate or something like that) in LogicalRepCtxStruct and
use that to traverse the subscriptions? So, when any worker will
restart because of a parameter change, we can set the variable and
send a signal to the launcher. The launcher can then check this
variable to decide whether to start the missing workers for enabled
subscriptions.
