          then using a replication slot will report the flush position to the server, but only when a WAL file is closed.
          Therefore, that configuration will cause transactions on the primary to wait for a long time and effectively not work satisfactorily.
          The option <option>synchronous</option> must be specified in addition to make this work correctly.
