Yeah, I didn't know that but I think it's a good idea. Unlike
issues_sql_like() we don't issue anything to the subscriber. So maybe
we need truncate logfile before insertion and verify logfile of
particular period. The test code would be like follows.

$node_subscriber->safe_psql('postgres', 'CREATE SUBSCRIPTION...");
truncate $node_subscriber->logfile, 0;
$node_publisher->safe_psql('postgres', 'INSERT .. ')
my $log = TestLib::slurp_file($node_subscriber->logfile);

# Verify logs
like($log, qr/processing remote data for replication target relation
"public.test" column "b", remote type dummyint, local type dummyint/,
'callback function of datatype conversion1');
like($log, qr/processing remote data for replication target relation
"public.test" column "a", remote type dummytext, local type
dummytext/, 'callback function of datatype conversion2');

Thoughts?
