Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Table metadata insertion now serializes *model.TableInfo internally and reuses a marshal buffer. Schema snapshot persistence now uses meta.IterTables, flushes batches at 512 KiB, propagates errors, closes batches, and retries eligible iteration failures. Physical-table loading now derives traits from metadata and DDL history.

Changes

Schema snapshot processing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Table metadata serialization
logservice/schemastore/disk_format.go, logservice/schemastore/disk_format_test.go, logservice/schemastore/persist_storage_test_utils.go
The helper accepts *model.TableInfo, serializes it internally, reuses the marshal buffer, and returns errors. Tests use the encryption-aware helper.
Snapshot iteration and batching
logservice/schemastore/disk_format.go
Snapshot persistence uses meta.IterTables, flushes and resets batches at 512 KiB, propagates callback and batch errors, closes batches, records metadata after successful completion, and retries eligible iteration failures.
Physical-table trait reconstruction
logservice/schemastore/disk_format.go
Physical-table loading derives view, eligibility, and splitability traits from compact metadata. It replays DDL history when traits must be resolved at a requested timestamp.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to c2101

Initialization may choose the wrong partition history and leave stale table traits, potentially creating or omitting incorrect table dispatchers. This is a concrete correctness risk that should be fixed before merging.

Poem

A rabbit packs tables in a reusable tray,
Flushes each batch at five-twelve KiB away.
DDL leaves a trail,
Traits follow the tale,
And snapshots close cleanly each day.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Resolve traits from all relevant partition histories.

Lines 1170-1175 select an arbitrary partition ID. Go map iteration does not preserve an order.

tablesDDLHistory is keyed by physical table ID. A DDL can affect only a subset of a partitioned table's physical IDs. If the selected partition has no history, line 1178 skips reconstruction even when another partition requires it.

This can retain stale isView, eligible, or splitable traits. It can then create or omit incorrect table dispatchers. Aggregate the applicable partition histories deterministically, or reconstruct traits from the logical table metadata before applying the filter.
