Alexander may think differently and remove that, but I disagree. The
test is clearly written so as we want two wait checks to happen, for
for CREATE FUNCTION, and one for CREATE PROCEDURE. Removing the first
check to keep only the second one removes its meaning. In short, I
see nothing wrong to deal with here.

Thank you for the review. I agree that the two wait checks serve distinct purposes and are not redundant. The main motivation for this patch was efficiency. In my testing, the new test added approximately 7 seconds to the runtime, while the creation of the procedure and function completed quickly. I suspect the latency stems from the wait-for-catch-up step. When I removed it, the test runtime dropped by about 7 seconds.I haven't yet investigated why the wait is so costly in this case. I should probably look into that before proposing this change.

Best,
Xuneng
