Andres Freund 56e19d938d Don't use on-disk snapshots for exported logical decoding snapshot.
Logical decoding stores historical snapshots on disk, so that logical
decoding can restart without having to reconstruct a snapshot from
scratch (for which the resources are not guaranteed to be present
anymore).  These serialized snapshots were also used when creating a
new slot via the walsender interface, which can export a "full"
snapshot (i.e. one that can read all tables, not just catalog ones).

The problem is that the serialized snapshots are only useful for
catalogs and not for normal user tables.  Thus the use of such a
serialized snapshot could result in an inconsistent snapshot being
exported, which could lead to queries returning wrong data.  This
would only happen if logical slots are created while another logical
slot already exists.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
