Thanks a lot! It looks like the syscache invalidation messages are
generated too frequently with -DCLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS build due to
which pgfdw_inval_callback gets called many times in which the cached
entries are marked as invalid and closed if they are not used in the
txn. The new function postgres_fdw_get_connections outputs the
information of the cached connections such as name if the connection
is still open and their validity. Hence the output of the
postgres_fdw_get_connections became unstable in the buildfarm member.
I will further analyze making tests stable, meanwhile any suggestions
are welcome.
