In this thread, we are discussing 3 topics below...
(1) necessity of the check for REORDER_BUFFER_CHANGE_TRUNCATE in ReorderBufferProcessTXN()
(2) discussion of whether we disallow decoding of operations on user catalog tables or not
(3) memory leak of maybe_send_schema() (patch already provided)
Let's address those one by one.
In terms of (1), which was close to the motivation of this thread,
first of all, I traced the truncate processing
and I think the check is done by truncate command side as well.
I preferred Assert rather than never called elog,
but it's OK to choose elog if someone has strong opinion on it.
Attached the patch for this.
