Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change improves synchronization of populated tables, but concurrent apply and table-sync workers can still overwrite each other’s exception-log entries, potentially hiding or misattributing failures.

- Around line 4397-4406: Update the errhint in the synchronization failure path
to quote both resynchronization arguments: escape MySubscription->name with
quote_literal_cstr(), and construct the qualified relation using
quote_qualified_identifier() before escaping the complete value with
quote_literal_cstr(). Keep the existing table and subscription values while
ensuring the generated spock.sub_resync_table hint remains valid for names
requiring quoting.

- Around line 1171-1214: Update the load path around the stage_load check so the
emptiness check and subsequent load are one protected operation: either always
create and load through the temporary staging table, or acquire and retain a
lock preventing writes to the target until the direct COPY completes. Ensure no
unprotected gap remains between the SELECT 1 check and the COPY, while
preserving the existing staging behavior and cleanup.

@ibrarahmad For the original lolor issue, I am wondering if #559 will actually address the issue since lolor should be in the reciprocal repsets. This branch could use a rebase to get the latest code. Still, we may have some general issue with resyncing that we need to address |

A sync worker also calls

Reading this and the initial issue, I failed to find a connection. In the issue, there was n3 - a clear node without any LO objects. So, I'd see the reproduction that proves the issue origin was detected correctly.

What does never returns on failure mean?
A COPY into a populated table aborts on the first duplicate key and the table is left at SYNC_STATUS_FAILED. After that the apply worker drops every change for it, so the table stops replicating and nothing says so. Easy to hit: adding a populated table to a replication set with synchronize_data := true makes every peer copy rows it already has. Copy into a temp staging table and merge with ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING, keeping the local rows. The staging table needs INCLUDING DEFAULTS, GENERATED and IDENTITY; a bare LIKE takes the NOT NULL but not what fills it. Recheck the empty case under an EXCLUSIVE lock, since a row can land between the check and the COPY. All tables share one transaction, so the lock is bounded and taken in a savepoint, and we fall back to staging if it is not granted. New GUC spock.sync_stage_and_merge, default off. With it off the COPY goes straight into the table as before. Also warn when a table first enters SYNC_STATUS_FAILED, and give the sub_resync_table() call that clears it.
A COPY into a populated table aborts on the first duplicate key and leaves the sync status failed, after which apply silently discards every later change for that table. Stage the load and merge, and warn on the failure.
