From a0e7e9799c71abdfdebf16219903e1e2d08687cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amit Kapila Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2025 10:07:03 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] Doc: Improve documentation of stream abort. Protocol v4 introduces parallel streaming, which allows Stream Abort messages to include additional abort information such as LSN and timestamp. However, the current documentation only states, "This field is available since protocol version 4," which may misleadingly suggest that the fields are always present when using protocol v4. This patch clarifies that the abort LSN and timestamp are included only when parallel streaming is enabled, even under protocol v4.
