Oops. I'll remove it.
2) Should we have some checks to see if the max replication slot
configuration is ok based on the number of slots that will be created,
we have similar checks in upgrade replication slots in
check_new_cluster_logical_replication_slots
That's a good idea.
3) Should we check if wal_level is set to logical, we have similar
checks in upgrade replication slots in
check_new_cluster_logical_replication_slots
That's a good idea.
4) The physical replication slot that was created will still be
present in the primary node, I felt this should be removed.
My proposal is to remove it [1]. It'll be include in the next version.
5) I felt the target server should be started before completion of
pg_subscriber:
Why? The initial version had an option to stop the subscriber. I decided to
remove the option and stop the subscriber by default mainly because (1) it is
an extra step to start the server (another point is that the WAL retention
doesn't happen due to additional (synchronized?) replication slots on
subscriber -- point 2). It was a conservative choice. If point 2 isn't an
issue, imo point 1 is no big deal.
