    With the basic output plugin callbacks (eg., <code class="function">begin_cb</code>,
    <code class="function">change_cb</code>, <code class="function">commit_cb</code> and
    <code class="function">message_cb</code>) two-phase commit commands like
    <code class="command">PREPARE TRANSACTION</code>, <code class="command">COMMIT PREPARED</code>
    and <code class="command">ROLLBACK PREPARED</code> are not decoded. While the
    <code class="command">PREPARE TRANSACTION</code> is ignored,
    <code class="command">COMMIT PREPARED</code> is decoded as a <code class="command">COMMIT</code>
    and <code class="command">ROLLBACK PREPARED</code> is decoded as a
    <code class="command">ROLLBACK</code>.
   </p><p>
    To support the streaming of two-phase commands, an output plugin needs to
    provide additional callbacks. There are multiple two-phase commit callbacks
    that are required, (<code class="function">begin_prepare_cb</code>,
    <code class="function">prepare_cb</code>, <code class="function">commit_prepared_cb</code>,
    <code class="function">rollback_prepared_cb</code> and
    <code class="function">stream_prepare_cb</code>) and an optional callback
    (<code class="function">filter_prepare_cb</code>).
   </p><p>
    If the output plugin callbacks for decoding two-phase commit commands are
    provided, then on <code class="command">PREPARE TRANSACTION</code>, the changes of
    that transaction are decoded, passed to the output plugin, and the
    <code class="function">prepare_cb</code> callback is invoked. This differs from the
    basic decoding setup where changes are only passed to the output plugin
    when a transaction is committed. The start of a prepared transaction is
    indicated by the <code class="function">begin_prepare_cb</code> callback.
   </p><p>
    When a prepared transaction is rolled back using the
    <code class="command">ROLLBACK PREPARED</code>, then the
    <code class="function">rollback_prepared_cb</code> callback is invoked and when the
    prepared transaction is committed using <code class="command">COMMIT PREPARED</code>,
    then the <code class="function">commit_prepared_cb</code> callback is invoked.
   </p><p>
    Optionally the output plugin can define filtering rules via
    <code class="function">filter_prepare_cb</code> to decode only specific transaction
    in two phases.  This can be achieved by pattern matching on the
    <em class="parameter"><code>gid</code></em> or via lookups using the
    <em class="parameter"><code>xid</code></em>.
   </p><p>
    The users that want to decode prepared transactions need to be careful about
    below mentioned points:

    </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
       If the prepared transaction has locked [user] catalog tables exclusively
       then decoding prepare can block till the main transaction is committed.
      </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
       The logical replication solution that builds distributed two phase commit
       using this feature can deadlock if the prepared transaction has locked
       [user] catalog tables exclusively. To avoid this users must refrain from
       having locks on catalog tables (e.g. explicit <code class="command">LOCK</code> command)
       in such transactions.
