Dear Amit,

Thanks for giving comments! Here I wanted to reply one of comments.

You mentioned like below case, right?

```
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION sub SET (two_phase = false, slot_name = NONE);
```

For now, we accept such a command. The replication slot which previously 
specified
is altered. As you know, this behavior is same as failover's one.

While considering more, I started to think the combination of slot_name and
two_phase should not be allowed. Even if both of them are altered at the same 
time,
the *old* slot will be modified by the backend process. I feel this 
inconsistency
should not be happened. In next patch, this check will be added. I also think
failover option should be also fixed, but not touched here. Let's make the scope
narrower.
