What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #3700

What is changed and how it works?

Porting changes from pingcap/tiflow#12435 to new ticdc architecture.

The dispatchers config is the same as in tiflow -

[[sink.dispatchers]]
matcher = ["uds_000.*"]
schema = "tidb_failover_test"
table = "{table}"

[[sink.dispatchers]]
matcher = ["oyster_production.*"]
schema = "oyster_production"
table = "{table}"

We also add the TargetSchema and TargetTable fields to the TableName struct. Since there is now a shared TableInfo object that can be accessed by multiple changefeeds and a new concept of Dispatcher objects, we clone the TableInfo in each dispatcher with the routing information for that table in handleHandshakeEvent (which is executed when the dispatcher starts), and then store that cloned/routed TableInfo for the dispatcher. Subsequent DMLs then look up the stored info. Subsequent DDLs also explicitly update routing in handleSingleDataEvents.

Another difference between ticdc and tiflow is that DDLs are now handled per-sink instead of in one single entry point. Because of this, we need to apply routing in both the mysql and redo sinks separately - the shared rewriting functionality is in pkg/sink/util/ddl_routing.go.

We also copied FetchDDLTables and RenameDDLTable (and the corresponding tests) from https://github.com/pingcap/tiflow/blob/master/dm/pkg/parser/common.go so we could use them to rewrite DDLs.

Check List

Tests

  • Unit test
  • Integration test (will add, in progress)
  • Manual test - deployed to internal dev cluster and bootstrapped a migration shadow with schema mapping, verified changefeed routes DDLs/DMLs correctly

Questions

Do you need to update user documentation, design documentation or monitoring documentation?

Yes - will do so in separate PR

Hi @a-cong. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a pingcap member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Summary of Changes

Hello @a-cong, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces comprehensive schema and table routing capabilities for MySQL and Redo sinks. It allows users to configure rules to map source database and table names to different target names in the downstream, providing greater flexibility for data migration and synchronization scenarios. The changes involve extending configuration options, integrating a new routing engine into the event processing pipeline, and ensuring that both DDL and DML operations correctly apply these routing rules while maintaining data integrity and avoiding race conditions.

Highlights

  • Schema and Table Routing Configuration: Introduced new SchemaRule and TableRule fields within the dispatchers configuration. These fields allow users to define expressions for mapping source schema and table names to different target names in the downstream, supporting placeholders like {schema} and {table}.
  • Integrated Routing for DDL Operations: Implemented a new Router utility and integrated it into both MySQL and Redo sinks. DDL queries are now parsed and rewritten based on configured routing rules before being executed by the MySQL sink or written to the redo log. This ensures DDLs create/modify tables with the correct target names.
  • Dynamic TableInfo Routing for DMLs: Modified the dispatcher logic to apply routing to TableInfo objects. When a dispatcher starts or receives a DDL event, it clones the TableInfo and sets TargetSchema and TargetTable fields based on routing rules. Subsequent DML SQL generation then uses these routed names, ensuring DMLs are written to the correct target tables.
  • Shared DDL Parsing and Rewriting Utilities: Copied and adapted DDL parsing (FetchDDLTables) and rewriting (RenameDDLTable) utilities from the TiFlow project. These utilities leverage TiDB's parser to safely extract and modify table references within DDL statements, forming the foundation for DDL routing.
  • Enhanced Data Safety and Consistency: Introduced cloning mechanisms for DDLEvent and TableInfo objects when routing is applied. This prevents data races and ensures that different changefeeds or components (like the event dispatcher and redo dispatcher) can independently apply their specific routing rules without inadvertently mutating shared event data.

Code Review

This pull request introduces schema and table routing for MySQL and redo sinks, a significant and valuable feature. The implementation is well-structured, with routing logic centralized in a new Router utility and consistently applied to both DDL and DML paths. The approach of rewriting DDLs in the sink and applying routing to TableInfo for DMLs is sound. The addition of extensive tests covering various routing scenarios is commendable.

I've identified a critical race condition concerning BatchDMLEvent processing when redo logging is enabled. Similar to how DDLEvent is cloned to prevent data races between sinks, BatchDMLEvent also needs to be cloned before its in-place modification. I have provided detailed comments and suggestions to address this issue. Once this is fixed, the PR should be in good shape.
