Maybe I misunderstood what you said... I have also found that sentPtr is not 
the actual sent
position, but the starting point of the next WAL. You can see the comment below.

```
/*
 * How far have we sent WAL already? This is also advertised in
 * MyWalSnd->sentPtr.  (Actually, this is the next WAL location to send.)
 */
static XLogRecPtr sentPtr = InvalidXLogRecPtr;
```

We must use end_lsn for crafting messages to cheat the walsender, but such 
records
are included in COMMIT, not in BEGIN for the non-streaming case.
But if workers are delayed in apply_handle_commit(), will they hold locks for 
database
objects for a long time and it causes another issue.
