Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for removing a deadlock during replication from distributed source tables to a replica node. An embodiment operates by detecting a deadlock at a parallel log replayer at a replica node. A first replication log entry from a queue at the parallel log replayer is then selected based on whether removing the first replication log entry from the queue removes the deadlock. The first replication log entry is then forwarded to a waiting queue. A second replication log entry is then replayed at the parallel log replayer. After replaying the second replication log entry, the first replication log entry is replayed at the parallel log replayer.
