Replication origins is a useful feature for external replication
systems to do conflict resolution in bi-directional replication. It's
possible for the external systems to make use of this feature using
the SQL functions pg_replication_origin_*().
pg_replication_origin_session_setup() is the one to configure the
current session. Currently, only a single version of this function is
exposed that allows one replica origin to be used only by a single
session. This limits the usefulness of this feature.
The attached patch creates another variant of this function
pg_replication_origin_session_setup(text, int). This allows the same
replica origin to be used by parallel sessions the same way logical
replication apply workers are using it.
I'll add this to the next commitfest.
