For that, we need to have a subscription option for this as we need to reduce test timing for streaming TAP tests (by streaming, I mean replication of large in-progress transactions) as well. Currently, there is no subscription option that is merely used for testing/debugging purpose and there doesn't seem to be a use for this for users. So, we didn't want to expose it as a user option. There is also a risk that if users use it they will face a slowdown. -- With Regards, Amit Kapila.
