neon.c is getting crowded and the logical replication slot monitor is a good candidate for reorganization. It is very self-contained, and being in a separate file will make it that much easier to find. Signed-off-by: Tristan Partin <tristan@neon.tech>
neon extension consists of several parts:
shared preload library neon.so
-
implements storage manager API and network communications with remote page server.
-
walproposer: implements broadcast protocol between postgres and WAL safekeepers.
-
control plane connector: Captures updates to roles/databases using ProcessUtility_hook and sends them to the control ProcessUtility_hook.
-
remote extension server: Request compute_ctl to download extension files.
-
file_cache: Local file cache is used to temporary store relations pages in local file system for better performance.
-
relsize_cache: Relation size cache for better neon performance.
