Description

Hi @porsager would you be open to expanding the logical replication implementation to:

  1. Allow the passing of a pre-existing replication slot name and LSN start point?
  2. Passing the LSN to the subscriber

If so I'll start work on a PR.

Research direction

Read the existing logical replication implementation and trace how replication slots and LSN values are currently handled. Confirm the intended API for accepting a pre-existing slot and starting LSN, then verify that the LSN is passed to the subscriber and that replication still works as expected.
