From b5d56ecd0c1aad8c7b02595eb0e038d84553d1d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiko Sawada Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2026 12:06:35 -0800 Subject: [PATCH v4] pg_upgrade: Optimize replication slot caught-up check. Commit 29d0a77fa6 improved pg_upgrade to allow migrating logical slots provided that all logical slots have caught up (i.e., they have no pending decodable WAL records). Previously, this verification was done by checking each slot individually, which could be time-consuming if there were many logical slots to migrate. This commit optimizes the check to avoid reading the same WAL stream multiple times. It performs the check only for the slot with the minimum confirmed_flush_lsn and applies the result to all other slots in the same database. This limits the check to at most one logical slot per database. During the check, we identify the last decodable WAL record's LSN to report any slots with unconsumed records, consistent with the existing error reporting behavior. Additionally, the maximum confirmed_flush_lsn is used as an early scan cutoff; finding a decodable WAL record beyond this point implies that no slot has caught up. Performance testing demonstrated that the execution time remains stable regardless of the number of slots in the database. Note that we do not distinguish slots based on their output plugins. A hypothetical plugin might use a replication origin filter that filters out changes from a specific origin. In such cases, we might get a false positive (erroneously considering a slot caught up). However, this is safe from a data integrity standpoint, such scenarios are rare, and the impact of a false positive is minimal. This optimization is applied only when the old cluster is version 19 or later. XXX Bump catversion.
