Thanks for the patch. As long as we are on it, there is this code block in the test: my ($xmin, $catalog_xmin) = get_slot_xmins($node_master, $slotname_1); is($xmin, '', 'non-cascaded slot xmin null with no hs_feedback'); is($catalog_xmin, '', 'non-cascaded slot xmin null with no hs_feedback'); ($xmin, $catalog_xmin) = get_slot_xmins($node_standby_1, $slotname_2); is($xmin, '', 'cascaded slot xmin null with no hs_feedback'); is($catalog_xmin, '', 'cascaded slot xmin null with no hs_feedback'); This should be more verbose as the 2nd and 4th test should say "catalog xmin" instead of xmin. Also, wouldn't it be better to poll as well node_standby_1's pg_replication_slot on slotname_2? It would really seem better to make the nullness check conditional in get_slot_xmins instead.
