Implement pg_wal_replay_wait() stored procedure
pg_wal_replay_wait() is to be used on standby and specifies waiting for the specific WAL location to be replayed before starting the transaction. This option is useful when the user makes some data changes on primary and needs a guarantee to see these changes on standby. The queue of waiters is stored in the shared memory array sorted by LSN. During replay of WAL waiters whose LSNs are already replayed are deleted from the shared memory array and woken up by setting of their latches. pg_wal_replay_wait() needs to wait without any snapshot held. Otherwise, the snapshot could prevent the replay of WAL records implying a kind of self-deadlock. This is why it is only possible to implement pg_wal_replay_wait() as a procedure working in a non-atomic context, not a function. Catversion is bumped.

That is, after this function execution, the value returned by

read-your-writes-consistency, while using async replica for reads and

primary for writes. In that case <acronym>lsn</acronym> of the last

You can use <function>pg_wal_replay_wait</function> to wait for

28347+
the <literal>movie</literal> table and get the <acronym>lsn</acronym> after
28348+
changes just made. This example uses <function>pg_current_wal_insert_lsn</function>
28349+
on primary server to get the <acronym>lsn</acronym> given that
28350+
<varname>synchronous_commit</varname> could be set to
28351+
<literal>off</literal>.

Then an application could run <function>pg_wal_replay_wait</function>
