Thanks a lot! It looks like the syscache invalidation messages are generated too frequently with -DCLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS build due to which pgfdw_inval_callback gets called many times in which the cached entries are marked as invalid and closed if they are not used in the txn. The new function postgres_fdw_get_connections outputs the information of the cached connections such as name if the connection is still open and their validity. Hence the output of the postgres_fdw_get_connections became unstable in the buildfarm member. I will further analyze making tests stable, meanwhile any suggestions are welcome.
