That's problematic from a durability POV.


Huh? How come?

If you use the session mechanism the replication progress is synced with
the apply process, even if there are crashes. Crash recovery updates the
progress.  There's no such interlock with apply otherwise, and I don't
see how you can build one with reasonable effort.


Ah you mean because with wal_log=true the origin advance is in different WAL record than commit? OK yeah you might be one transaction behind then, true.
