Definitely beneficial, otherwise recovery will stop until you drop slots, which isn't ideal. >> * Ability to advance (via feedback or via SQL function) - no need to >> actually decode and call output plugins at al > > That pretty much requires decoding, otherwise you really don't know how > much WAL you have to retain. Yes, and to update restart_lsn and catalog_xmin correctly. I was thinking that by disallowing snapshot use and output plugin invocation we'd avoid the need to support cancellation on recovery conflicts, etc, simplifying things considerably. >> * Ability to drop logical slots on replicas > > That shouldn't actually require any changes, no?
