Few other comments:
==================
1.
* FIXME 3 - Crashed tablesync workers may also have remaining slots
because I don't think
+ * such workers are even iterated by this loop, and nobody else is
removing them.
+ */
+ if (slotname)
+ {
The above FIXME is not clear to me. Actually, the crashed workers
should restart, finish their work, and drop the slots. So not sure
what exactly this FIXME refers to?
2.
DropSubscription()
{
..
ReplicationSlotDropAtPubNode(
+ NULL,
+ conninfo, /* use conninfo to make a new connection. */
+ subname,
+ syncslotname);
..
}
With the above call, it will form a connection with the publisher and
drop the required slots. I think we need to save the connection info
so that we don't need to connect/disconnect for each slot to be
dropped. Later in this function, we again connect and drop the apply
worker slot. I think we should connect just once drop the apply and
table sync slots if any.
3.
ReplicationSlotDropAtPubNode(WalReceiverConn *wrconn_given, char
*conninfo, char *subname, char *slotname)
{
..
+ PG_TRY();
..
+ PG_CATCH();
+ {
+ /* NOP. Just gobble any ERROR. */
+ }
+ PG_END_TRY();
Why are we suppressing the error instead of handling it the error in
the same way as we do while dropping the apply worker slot in
DropSubscription?

This is not how we export functions at other places?
