Do I understand correctly that you are not using replication origins?
No, we are using replication origins to prevent recursive replication.
The gap is not a biggest problem because in multimaster we commit only
those transaction which are acknowledged by all live nodes.
So if some transaction falls in the gap... it is unlucky and will be
aborted.
The problem is that for some reasons consistent point is not so
consistent and we get partly decoded transactions.
I.e. transaction body consists of two UPDATE but reorder_buffer extracts
only the one (last) update and sent this truncated transaction to
destination causing consistency violation at replica. I started
investigation of logical decoding code and found several things which I
do not understand.
Never seen this happen. Do you have more details about what exactly is
happening?
This is transaction at primary node:

This is the replicated transaction at other node (it is ont clear from
the trace, but believe me, it is the same transaction):
root@knizhnik:/home/knizhnik/postgres_cluster/contrib/mmts# docker exec
-ti node2 bash
postgres@e5b16d82ce06:/pg$ pg_xlogdump

And "shorten" version of the same transaction at the third (recovered) node:
root@knizhnik:/home/knizhnik/postgres_cluster/contrib/mmts# docker exec
-ti node3 bash
postgres@b4066d4211bc:/pg$ pg_xlogdump

You can see one update instead of two.
Sorry, I have not saved trace with output of logical decoder. Bu t it
really decodes just one update!
What I have done:
DROP_REPLICATION_SLOT "mtm_slot_1";
CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT "mtm_slot_1" LOGICAL "multimaster";
START_REPLICATION SLOT "mtm_slot_1" LOGICAL 0/0 ("startup_params_format"
'1', "max_proto_version" '1', "min_proto_version" '1',
"forward_changesets" '1', "mtm_replication_mode" 'recovered');
I have also tried to calculate last origin LSN for this node and
explicitly specify it in START_REPLICATION.
But it doesn't help: the same problem persists.
