I have one comment about the testcase in the patch.

+-- Test cache invalidation FOR ALL TABLES publication
+SET client_min_messages = 'ERROR';
+CREATE TABLE testpub_tbl4(a int);
+CREATE PUBLICATION testpub_foralltables FOR ALL TABLES;
+RESET client_min_messages;
+-- fail missing REPLICA IDENTITY
+UPDATE testpub_tbl4 set a = 2;
+ERROR:  cannot update table "testpub_tbl4" because it does not have a replica identity and publishes updates
+HINT:  To enable updating the table, set REPLICA IDENTITY using ALTER TABLE.
+DROP PUBLICATION testpub_foralltables;

The above testcases can pass without the code change in the patch, is it better
to add a testcase which can show different results after applying the patch ?

Best regards,
