Hi,
While testing 'logical replication' against v10 , i encountered couple
of issue when created logical/physical slot manually.
Case 1 - when used with logical replication slot (which created manually)
Publication Server(X)
\\ Make sure wal_level is set to logical in postgresql.conf file
\\create table/Insert 1 row -> create table test(n int); insert into t
values (1);
\\create publication for all -> create publication pub for table t;
\\create logical replication slot but before that - do 'make and make
install' against "contrib/test_decoding" contrib folder
select * from
pg_create_logical_replication_slot('my_logical','test_decoding');
Subscription Serve(Y)
\\ Make sure wal_level is set to logical in postgresql.conf file
\\create table -> create table test(n int);
\\create Subscription , used the existing slot
postgres=# CREATE SUBSCRIPTION sub CONNECTION 'host=localhost
dbname=postgres port=5000 user=centos ' publication pub with (NOCREATE
SLOT ,Slot name=my_logical);
NOTICE: synchronized table states
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION
if we check the publication server (x) and subscription server(y) , we
are getting this error in log file -
2017-05-09 10:41:49.570 BST [1809] LOG: starting logical replication
worker for subscription "sub"
2017-05-09 10:41:49.579 BST [2346] LOG: logical replication apply for
subscription sub started

CONTEXT: slot "my_logical", output plugin "test_decoding", in the

2017-05-09 10:41:49.589 BST [1801] LOG: worker process: logical
replication worker for subscription 16391 (PID 2346) exited with exit code 1
Case 2 -When used with physical replication slot
Publication Server(X)
\\ Make sure wal_level is set to logical in postgresql.conf file
\\create table/Insert 1 row -> create table test(n int); insert into t
values (1);
\\create publication for all -> create publication pub for table t;
\\create physical replication slot
postgres=# select * from pg_create_physical_replication_slot('my_test'); slot_name | wal_position
-----------+-------------- my_test |
(1 row)
Subscription Serve(Y)
\\ Make sure wal_level is set to logical in postgresql.conf file
\\create table -> create table test(n int);
\\create Subscription , used the existing slot ,which is physical
postgres=# CREATE SUBSCRIPTION sub CONNECTION 'host=localhost
dbname=postgres port=5000 user=centos ' publication pub with (NOCREATE
SLOT ,Slot name=my_test);
NOTICE: synchronized table states
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION
postgres=#
in the subscription server log file , we are getting this error -
2017-05-09 10:51:44.037 BST [2738] ERROR: could not receive data from
WAL stream: ERROR: cannot use physical replication slot for logical
decoding
2017-05-09 10:51:44.038 BST [1801] LOG: worker process: logical
replication worker for subscription 16393 (PID 2738) exited with exit code 1
I think -we should throw an error while creating subscription.
