And I just saw your other message... What I just meant here is that if
you use a decoder plugin that just emits information at transaction
begin/commit you can directly get this information. There is no need
to directly look at the WAL logs, the server does it for you. And it
offers a good cover regarding the information that has already been
consumed or not.

(Btw, avoid sending emails across multiple mailing lists, particularly
pgsql-committers which is not aimed for that).
