- /* initialize LSN to 0 (start of WAL) */
- gxact->prepare_lsn = 0;
+ /* initialize LSN to InvalidXLogRecPtr */
+ gxact->prepare_start_lsn = InvalidXLogRecPtr;
+ gxact->prepare_end_lsn = InvalidXLogRecPtr;
I think that it would be better to explicitly initialize gxact->ondisk
to false here.
+ xlogreader = XLogReaderAllocate(&logical_read_local_xlog_page, NULL);
+ if (!xlogreader)
+ ereport(ERROR,
+ (errcode(ERRCODE_OUT_OF_MEMORY),
+ errmsg("out of memory"),
+ errdetail("Failed while allocating an
XLog reading processor.")));
Depending on something that is part of logical decoding to decode WAL
is not a good idea. If you want to move on with this approach, you
should have a dedicated function. Even better, it would be nice to
come up with a generic function used by both 2PC and logical decoding.
