error when creating logical replication slot

Hi all,
I am implementing logical replication and today during some final tests
before implementing it to the production I have got this error when logical
replication slot on master was created.

NOTICE: 2019-01-28 09:08:22.081007+00: logical replication slot xxxxx does
not exist - creating...
ERROR: snapshot reference 0x55a52a898340 is not owned by resource owner
TopTransaction
CONTEXT: SQL statement "SELECT pg_create_logical_replication_slot('xxxxx',
'pgoutput')"

In previous tests I always created logical replication slot in the same way
and never had any error. For explanation - I create logical replication
slot separately otherwise command "create subscription" from replica hang
indefinitely if I try to create LRS as part of it (tested several times).

I tried to google for this error but did not find anything which would feel
relevant to the context.

Could someone please explain to what does this mean? I cannot afford to
have errors on production.

Many thanks

That's definitely a bug. Are you on the latest minor release of whichever
release series you're using? (And which one is that?) If it is latest,
please see if you can make a self-contained test case that triggers this.

Re: error when creating logical replication slot

Hi. Thanks for answer.

Both databases run on Google Compute Engine VMs with Debian 9, both PGs are
"PostgreSQL 11.1 (Debian 11.1-1.pgdg90+1) on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled
by gcc (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1) 6.3.0 20170516, 64-bit"

I did several tests with setting logical replication from master to replica
always dropping everything and setting it "from scratch" again with exactly
the same bash script running plpgsql commands in psql and only during one
of these tests got this error. And now I cannot repeat it.

Not sure if it can be important in this context but database processes
several thousands of inserts each minute, most of them just 1 record in
separate transaction - those are metric data from web widgets.
