Hi,
The subscription worker was not getting invalidated when the
subscription owner changed from superuser to non-superuser. Here is a
test case for the same:
Publisher:
CREATE USER repl REPLICATION PASSWORD 'secret';
CREATE TABLE t(i INT);
INSERT INTO t VALUES(1);
GRANT SELECT ON t TO repl;
CREATE PUBLICATION p1 FOR TABLE t;
Subscriber (has a PGPASSFILE for user "repl"):
CREATE USER u1 SUPERUSER;
CREATE TABLE t(i INT);
ALTER TABLE t OWNER TO u1;
-- no password specified
CREATE SUBSCRIPTION s1
CONNECTION 'dbname=postgres host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 user=repl'
PUBLICATION p1;
ALTER USER u1 NOSUPERUSER: -- Change u1 user to non-superuser
Publisher:
INSERT INTO t VALUES(1);
Subscriber:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t; -- should have been 1 but is 2, the apply
worker has not exited after changing from superuser to non-superuser.
Fixed this issue by checking if the subscription owner has changed
from superuser to non-superuser in case the pg_authid rows changes.
The attached patch has the changes for the same.
Thanks to Jeff Davis for identifying this issue and reporting it at [1].
