Maybe I misunderstood what you said... I have also found that sentPtr is not the actual sent
position, but the starting point of the next WAL. You can see the comment below.
```
/*
* How far have we sent WAL already? This is also advertised in
* MyWalSnd->sentPtr. (Actually, this is the next WAL location to send.)
*/
static XLogRecPtr sentPtr = InvalidXLogRecPtr;
```
We must use end_lsn for crafting messages to cheat the walsender, but such records
are included in COMMIT, not in BEGIN for the non-streaming case.
But if workers are delayed in apply_handle_commit(), will they hold locks for database
objects for a long time and it causes another issue.
