Hii Wang wei,

1. In the function GetCheapestReplicaIdentityFullPath.
+       if (rel->pathlist == NIL)
+       {
+               /*
+                * A sequential scan could have been dominated by by an index scan
+                * during make_one_rel(). We should always have a sequential scan
+                * before set_cheapest().
+                */
+               Path       *seqScanPath = create_seqscan_path(root, rel, NULL, 0);
+
+               add_path(rel, seqScanPath);
+       }

This is a question I'm not sure about:
Do we need this part to add sequential scan?

I think in our case, the sequential scan seems to have been added by the
function make_one_rel (see function set_plain_rel_pathlist).

Yes, the sequential scan is added during make_one_rel. 
 
If I am missing
something, please let me know. BTW, there is a typo in above comment: `by by`.

As the comment mentions, the sequential scan could have been dominated & removed by index scan, see add_path():

> *We also remove from the rel's pathlist any old paths that are dominated 
*  by new_path --- that is, new_path is cheaper, at least as well ordered, 
*  generates no more rows, requires no outer rels not required by the old 
*  path, and is no less parallel-safe.

Still, I agree that the comment could be improved, which I pushed.


2. In the file execReplication.c.
+#ifdef USE_ASSERT_CHECKING
+#include "catalog/index.h"
+#endif
 #include "commands/trigger.h"
 #include "executor/executor.h"
 #include "executor/nodeModifyTable.h"
 #include "nodes/nodeFuncs.h"
 #include "parser/parse_relation.h"
 #include "parser/parsetree.h"
+#ifdef USE_ASSERT_CHECKING
+#include "replication/logicalrelation.h"
+#endif

I think it's fine to only add `logicalrelation.h` here, because `index.h` has
been added by `logicalrelation.h`.


Makes sense, removed thanks. 

Attached v13.
