To add support for streaming transactions at prepare time into the built-in logical replication, we need to do the following things: * Modify the output plugin (pgoutput) to implement the new two-phase API callbacks, by leveraging the extended replication protocol. * Modify the replication apply worker, to properly handle two-phase transactions by replaying them on prepare. * Add a new SUBSCRIPTION option "two_phase" to allow users to enable two-phase transactions. We enable the two_phase once the initial data sync is over. We however must explicitly disable replication of two-phase transactions during replication slot creation, even if the plugin supports it. We don't need to replicate the changes accumulated during this phase, and moreover, we don't have a replication connection open so we don't know where to send the data anyway. The streaming option is not allowed with this new two_phase option. This can be done as a separate patch. We don't allow to toggle two_phase option of a subscription because it can lead to an inconsistent replica. For the same reason, we don't allow to refresh the publication once the two_phase is enabled for a subscription unless copy_data option is false.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
