From 20c4df8c8d7c54e34e921e770b594582d276f19e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alvaro Herrera Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2020 14:33:49 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] Reimplement nullification of walsender timestamp Make the value null only at pg_stat_activity-output time, as suggested by Tom Lane, instead of messing with the internal state. This should appease buildfarm members with force_parallel_mode=regress, which are running parallel queries on logical replication walsenders. The fact that walsenders can run parallel queries should perhaps be studied more carefully, but for the moment let's get rid of the red blots in buildfarm. Backpatch to pg10, like the previous commit.
