The current logical replication behavior is to send every transaction to subscriber even if the transaction is empty. This can happen because transaction doesn't contain changes from the selected publications or all the changes got filtered. It is a waste of CPU cycles and network bandwidth to build/transmit these empty transactions. This patch addresses the above problem by postponing the BEGIN message until the first change is sent. While processing a COMMIT message, if there was no other change for that transaction, do not send the COMMIT message. This allows us to skip sending BEGIN/COMMIT messages for empty transactions. When skipping empty transactions in synchronous replication mode, we send a keepalive message to avoid delaying such transactions.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
