Yeah, I had also written the same patch a couple of days ago.
BTW I ran into a small problem after adding some tests in cluster.sql
that would exercise this -- that test would die more or less randomly
but frequently in CI (which it never did in my laptop) because of the
size of the snapshot,
ALTER TABLE ptnowner1 REPLICA IDENTITY USING INDEX ptnowner1_i_key;
REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) ptnowner1;
+ERROR: initial slot snapshot too large
+CONTEXT: REPACK decoding worker
RESET SESSION AUTHORIZATION;
I think the solution for this is to move cluster to a separate parallel
test. The one where it is now is a bit too crowded. Maybe the one for
compression is okay? I'll test and push if I see it passing CI.
Another obvious thing after adding tests is that the LOGIN privilege is
required, which is also quite bogus IMO. 0002 here should solve that.
