Hi all,
Cache lookup errors with elog() can be triggered easily by users at
SQL level using replication origin functions:
=# select pg_replication_origin_advance('popo', '0/1');
ERROR: XX000: cache lookup failed for replication origin 'popo'
LOCATION: replorigin_by_name, origin.c:229
=# select pg_replication_origin_drop('popo');
ERROR: XX000: cache lookup failed for replication origin 'popo'
LOCATION: replorigin_by_name, origin.c:229
=# select pg_replication_origin_session_setup('popo');
ERROR: XX000: cache lookup failed for replication origin 'popo'
LOCATION: replorigin_by_name, origin.c:229
=# select pg_replication_origin_progress('popo', true);
ERROR: XX000: cache lookup failed for replication origin 'popo';
LOCATION: replorigin_by_name, origin.c:229
A cache lookup means that an illogical status has been reached, but
those code paths don't refer to that. So I think that the error in
replorigin_by_name should be changed to that:
ERROR: 42704: replication slot "%s" does not exist
As far as I can see, replorigin_by_oid makes no use of its missing_ok
= false in the backend code, so letting it untouched would have no
impact. replorigin_by_name with missing_ok = false is only used with
SQL-callable functions, so it could be changed without any impact
elsewhere (without considering externally-maintained replication
modules).
Thanks,
