Resolves: #84429
This change introduces a
troubleshooting_mode_enabled
sessionvariable. When enabled, this session variable is intended to be used as
a way to avoid performing additional work on queries, particularly when
the cluster is experiencing issues/unavailability/failure. By default,
this session variable is disabled. Currently, this session variable is
only used to avoid collecting/emitting telemetry data.
Release note (sql change): Introduce new
troubleshooting_mode_enabled
session variable, to avoid doing additional work on queries when
possible (i.e. collection telemetry data). By default, this session
variable is disabled.
Release justification: Category 4: Low risk, high benefit changes to existing functionality
