I think it's because the primary purpose of sub->synccommit is to serve as a parameter for SetConfigOption() in the apply worker, which requires a string value. Additionally, the existing function set_config_option() that validates this option only accepts a string input. Although we could convert sub->synccommit to an integer, this would necessitate additional conversion code before passing it to these functions. Best Regards, Hou zj
