BTW, if I just change the truncate statement to "Analyze tab1" in your
entire test then I am getting a different assertion failure:
postgres.exe!ExceptionalCondition(const char * conditionName, const
char * errorType, const char * fileName, int lineNumber) Line 70 C

This is matching with call stack we see intermittently in the BF
[1][2]. The difference with your scenario is that the Truncate
statement generates an additional WAL XLOG_STANDBY_LOCK prior to
XLOG_HEAP2_NEW_CID.
I think we can fix this in the below ways:
a. Assert(prev_first_lsn <= cur_txn->first_lsn); -- Explain in
comments that it is possible when subtransaction and transaction are
not previously logged as it happened in this scenario
b. track txn of prev_first_lsn (say as prev_txn) and check if
prev_txn's toptxn is the same as cur_txn or cur_txn's toptxn is the
same as the prev_txn then perform assert mentioned in (a) else, keep
the current Assert.
It seems (b) will be more robust.
Thoughts?
Note: I added Sawada-San as sometime back we had an offlist discussion
on this intermittent BF failure but we were not able to reach the
exact test which can show this failure.
