Standby will receive the record but not replay it until the
transaction doing REPEATABLE READ transactions that needs those rows
commits on the standby. The WAL flush position on the standby
continues to move on. This depends of course on
max_standby_streaming_delay which may decide or not to force the
transaction to cancel if it takes too long. Someone feel free to
correct me if I am missing something here.
