Personally it should be detected, but I want to hear opinions from others. Below are my reasons: 1) We can avoid a possibility that users miss the installation of plugins. Basically we should detect before the issue will really occur. 2) Rules around here might be inconsistent. Slots which will be synchronized can be created either way: a) manual creation via SQL function, or b) automatic creation by slotsync worker. In case of a), the decoding context is created when creation so that the plugin must be installed. Case b), however, we allow not to install beforehand. I felt it might be confused for users. Thought? Best Regards, Hayato Kuroda FUJITSU LIMITED
