Amit Kapila 9a17be1e24 Allow upgrades to preserve the full subscription's state. This feature will allow us to replicate the changes on subscriber nodes after the upgrade. Previously, only the subscription metadata information was preserved. Without the list of relations and their state, it's not possible to re-enable the subscriptions without missing some records as the list of relations can only be refreshed after enabling the subscription (and therefore starting the apply worker). Even if we added a way to refresh the subscription while enabling a publication, we still wouldn't know which relations are new on the publication side, and therefore should be fully synced, and which shouldn't. To preserve the subscription relations, this patch teaches pg_dump to restore the content of pg_subscription_rel from the old cluster by using binary_upgrade_add_sub_rel_state SQL function. This is supported only in binary upgrade mode. The subscription's replication origin is needed to ensure that we don't replicate anything twice. To preserve the replication origins, this patch teaches pg_dump to update the replication origin along with creating a subscription by using binary_upgrade_replorigin_advance SQL function to restore the underlying replication origin remote LSN. This is supported only in binary upgrade mode. pg_upgrade will check that all the subscription relations are in 'i' (init) or in 'r' (ready) state and will error out if that's not the case, logging the reason for the failure. This helps to avoid the risk of any dangling slot or origin after the upgrade.
