Heavy refactorings are only going to be something for 18~, as far as my analysis goes. > I assume that if a xid is coming from in-memory states, it has to be > in the current xid range.

Yeah, we need to do something here. Anyway, I don't think what you are posting here is ambitious enough for two reasons: - We should try to limit the number of times where we do maths between TransactionId and FullTransactionId. It's going to be cleaner if we make the 2PC interface require FullTransactionIds all the time (note that the point of storing a fxid or an xid is different). Noah's proposal at [1] is much closer to the long-term picture that would look adapted. - The CLOG lookups that can happen in ProcessTwoPhaseBuffer() during recovery while a consistent state is not reached are still possible (planning to start a different thread about this specific issue).
