In logical replication, however, the process exits after
streamingDoneReceiving is set to true (this happens when sending the
PqMsg_CopyDone message from libpqrcv_endstreaming), so the issue will
not happen in logical replication.
Could you share the client you're using(if it can be shared), along
with the steps you are following when encountering the issue? This
will help us better understand the scenario and potentially create a
test case to reproduce the issue, or at least validate if setting
'streamingDoneReceiving' to false is sufficient.
