I agree that tracking the activity time of a synced slot can be useful, why not creating a dedicated field for that purpose (and keep inactive_since a perfect "copy" of the primary)? > Now, the other concern is that calling GetCurrentTimestamp() > could be costly when the values for the slot are not going to be > updated but if that happens we can optimize such that before acquiring > the slot we can have some minimal pre-checks to ensure whether we need > to update the slot or not. Right, but for a very active slot it is likely that we call GetCurrentTimestamp() during almost each sync cycle.
