Shouldn't the first 4 calls to > maybe_advance_nonremovable_xid() from LogicalRepApplyLoop() suffice? I think each invocation of maybe_advance_nonremovable_xid() has a chance to complete the final RCI_WAIT_FOR_LOCAL_FLUSH phase, as it could be waiting for changes to be flushed. The function call was added with the intention to enhance the likelihood of advancing the transaction ID, particularly when it is waiting for flushed changes. Although we could check the same in other func calls as well, but I think it's OK to keep the last check. Best Regards, Hou zj
