I tried to think about how to write a test case for this scenario, but
I think it will not be possible to generate an automated test case for
this. Basically, we need 2 concurrent transactions and out of that,
we need one transaction which just has processed only one change i.e
XLOG_HEAP2_NEW_CID and another transaction should overflow the logical
decoding work mem, so that we select the wrong transaction which
doesn't have the base snapshot. But how to control that the
transaction which is performing the DDL just write the
XLOG_HEAP2_NEW_CID wal and before it writes any other WAL we should
get the WAl from other transaction which overflows the buffer.
