I want to reactivate $subject. I took Petr Jelinek's patch from [0], rebased it, added a bit of testing. It basically works, but as mentioned in [0], there are various issues to work out.

The idea is that the standby runs a background worker to periodically fetch replication slot information from the primary. On failover, a logical subscriber would then ideally find up-to-date replication slots on the new publisher and can just continue normally.

The previous thread didn't have a lot of discussion, but I have gathered from off-line conversations that there is a wider agreement on this approach. So the next steps would be to make it more robust and configurable and documented. As I said, I added a small test case to show that it works at all, but I think a lot more tests should be added. I have also found that this breaks some seemingly unrelated tests in the recovery test suite. I have disabled these here. I'm not sure if the patch actually breaks anything or if these are just differences in timing or implementation dependencies. This patch adds a LIST_SLOTS replication command, but I think this could be replaced with just a SELECT FROM pg_replication_slots query now. (This patch is originally older than when you could run SELECT queries over the replication protocol.)

So, again, this isn't anywhere near ready, but there is already a lot here to gather feedback about how it works, how it should work, how to configure it, and how it fits into an overall replication and HA architecture.
