What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #6342

What is changed and how it works?

Check List

Tests

  • Unit test
  • Integration test
  • Manual test (add detailed scripts or steps below)
    TiDB MockStore executes SQL and generates RawKV with checksums
  → Mounter.DecodeToChunk
  → local SendEvent
  → force BatchDMLEvent.Marshal
  → decodeIOType / Unmarshal
  → AssembleRows
  → recompute checksums
  → Simple JSON encoding

The test also asserts that the receiver gets a new object and that it initially contains only RawRows, ensuring that the data actually goes through the serialization and deserialization path.

Three DML events are combined into one batch, containing four chunk rows in total. The test verifies that:

  • Row contents are correct
  • RowKey values are correct
  • Event offsets are correct

Simple JSON Checksum Results

Operation Current Previous Version Corrupted
INSERT 3970889190 0 2 false
UPDATE 1270400749 3970889190 2 false
DELETE 0 1270400749 2 false

Current code: all three operations pass with the race detector enabled. Total runtime: 6.082s.
Master: all three operations fail as expected. The Checksum fields on the receiver side become nil, successfully reproducing the original issue.

Questions

Will it cause performance regression or break compatibility?
Do you need to update user documentation, design documentation or monitoring documentation?

Release note

Fix a bug that does not output row checksum

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • DML and batch DML event data now preserves checksum metadata when serialized and restored, including current and previous values, versions, and corruption status.
    • Checksum metadata remains available when reconstructing rows from batch events.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Legacy event data without checksum metadata remains compatible.
    • Invalid, incomplete, or oversized checksum data is rejected with validation errors.
    • Checksum entries are consistently reconstructed during decoding.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

DML event V1 serialization now uses 17-byte non-nil checksum entries. Decoding reconstructs entries, accepts legacy payloads, and rejects incomplete metadata. Tests cover individual and batch DML events.

Changes

DML checksum serialization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Checksum encoding and decoding
pkg/common/event/dml_event.go
V1 encoding reserves space for fixed-size checksum metadata and writes checksum fields without a presence byte. Decoding reconstructs entries, clears prior state for legacy payloads, and validates incomplete data.
Checksum round-trip and validation coverage
pkg/common/event/dml_event_test.go
Tests cover nil, empty, and mixed checksum lists, legacy compatibility, invalid metadata, oversized counts, and batch DML row reconstruction.

Validate non-empty checksum cardinality before accepting metadata.

decodeV1 accepts a positive checksumCount when the entries fit the payload, without comparing it with t.Length. GetNextRow consumes one checksum per logical row and returns false when the checksum slice is exhausted. A short non-empty checksum list can therefore stop row iteration before all logical rows are returned.

A zero-length non-nil checksum slice is skipped by GetNextRow, so it does not cause the claimed panic. Preserve that empty-slice behavior if it is intentional. Validate non-empty checksum slices against Length in both encodeV1 and decodeV1, while retaining the legacy no-suffix path.
