Kafka/Avro: truncated columns not handled correctly

[dveeden]

What did you do?

Setup

TiUP Playground with TiCDC

tiup playground --ticdc 1 --tiflash 0 --without-monitor nightly

Kafka

export CONFLUENT_HOME=/home/dvaneeden/confluent-7.3.1
confluent local services start

Changefeed

tiup cdc:nightly cli changefeed create \
--sink-uri="kafka://127.0.0.1:9092/test?protocol=avro" \
--schema-registry="http://127.0.0.1:8081"

Consumer

cd $CONFLUENT_HOME
./bin/kafka-avro-console-consumer --topic test \
--bootstrap-server 127.0.0.1:9092 -\
-property schema.registry.url=http://127.0.0.1:8081 \
--from-beginning

Table

CREATE TABLE t1 (id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, c1 CHAR(5));
INSERT INTO t1(c1) VALUES ("foo"),("bar"),("baz");

Test

sql> SET sql_mode='';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.0003 sec)

sql> ALTER TABLE t1 MODIFY COLUMN c1 CHAR(2);
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.7475 sec)
Warning (code 1265): 3 warnings with this error code, first warning: Data truncated for column 'c1', value is 'foo'

sql> TABLE t1;
+----+----+
| id | c1 |
+----+----+
|  1 | fo |
|  2 | ba |
|  3 | ba |
+----+----+
3 rows in set (0.0011 sec)

And from the consumer:

{"id":1,"c1":{"string":"foo"}}
{"id":2,"c1":{"string":"bar"}}
{"id":3,"c1":{"string":"baz"}}

What did you expect to see?

The same truncated data in the table and in the consumer

What did you see instead?

Table data is truncated, but the data in the consumer is not

It is a design behavior. CDC does not replicate any data changes caused by lossy DDL operations. Check this issue #8686.
