possible timeout occured on pgx connection

[timsolov]

I have many errors in log like:

2021/09/27 00:47:25.613785 Source-PSQL (db1): Replication error (walPositionPersisted: 290579576): replication failed: nil message received, should not happen

And in postgresql logs:

The investigation leads me to Start method of Subscription struct in pgoutput package: https://github.com/blind-oracle/pgoutput/blob/master/sub.go#L98 which calls from https://github.com/blind-oracle/psql-streamer/blob/master/source/postgres/postgres.go#L286

It looks like psql-streamer breaks a connection to database but I'm not sure. Or pgx does it.
Have you seen an error similar to mine? How did you solve it?

Hi, no, I haven't seen this behavior, it looks a bit like a network issue, have you tried running both DB and service on the same host?

And I haven't really checked compatibility with recent Postgres versions, last was 10.x I think.
