Description

Followup to #10402, in this PR:

  • INSTANT DDL is supported by ddl_strategy flag --prefer-instant-ddl
  • Added support for ENUM/SET instant DDLs
  • A minor validation for DROP COLUMN (INSTANT not supported in COMPRESSED tables)

As reminders/context:

  • MySQL supports INSTANT DDL for some limited types of ALTER TABLE operations
  • When --prefer-instant-ddl is specified, we capture and analyze those specific operations
  • If applicable to INSTANT, we add ALGORITHM=INSTANT and run the schema migration directly, and do not pass it through to gh-ost nor vitess/vreplication.
  • Schema changes executed with INSTANT algorithm are non-revertible.

Review Checklist

Hello reviewers! 👋 Please follow this checklist when reviewing this Pull Request.

General

  • Ensure that the Pull Request has a descriptive title.
  • If this is a change that users need to know about, please apply the release notes (needs details) label so that merging is blocked unless the summary release notes document is included.

If a new flag is being introduced:

  • Is it really necessary to add this flag?
  • Flag names should be clear and intuitive (as far as possible)
  • Help text should be descriptive.
  • Flag names should use dashes (-) as word separators rather than underscores (_).

If a workflow is added or modified:

  • Each item in Jobs should be named in order to mark it as required.
  • If the workflow should be required, the maintainer team should be notified.

Bug fixes

  • There should be at least one unit or end-to-end test.
  • The Pull Request description should include a link to an issue that describes the bug.

Non-trivial changes

  • There should be some code comments as to why things are implemented the way they are.

New/Existing features

  • Should be documented, either by modifying the existing documentation or creating new documentation.
  • New features should have a link to a feature request issue or an RFC that documents the use cases, corner cases and test cases.

Backward compatibility

  • Protobuf changes should be wire-compatible.
  • Changes to _vt tables and RPCs need to be backward compatible.
  • vtctl command output order should be stable and awk-able.
  • RPC changes should be compatible with vitess-operator
  • If a flag is removed, then it should also be removed from VTop, if used there.

One tiny spelling nit 😄

version: "8.0.21",
create: "create table t(id int, i1 int not null, primary key(id))",
alter: "alter table t modify column i1 int default null",
instant: false,
},
{
// fail because on top of changing the default valuem, the datatype is changed, too
