Implement pg_wal_replay_wait() stored procedure
pg_wal_replay_wait() is to be used on standby and specifies waiting for
the specific WAL location to be replayed. This option is useful when
the user makes some data changes on primary and needs a guarantee to see
these changes are on standby.
The queue of waiters is stored in the shared memory as an LSN-ordered pairing
heap, where the waiter with the nearest LSN stays on the top. During
the replay of WAL, waiters whose LSNs have already been replayed are deleted
from the shared memory pairing heap and woken up by setting their latches.
pg_wal_replay_wait() needs to wait without any snapshot held. Otherwise,
the snapshot could prevent the replay of WAL records, implying a kind of
self-deadlock. This is why it is only possible to implement
pg_wal_replay_wait() as a procedure working without an active snapshot,
not a function.
Catversion is bumped.
