📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request updates test waits, retry and polling controls, mock-store lifecycle, test isolation, and test execution. It also makes one coordinator retry wait interruptible, closes a test connection before server shutdown, and adds explicit Go caches to CI.

Changes

Test maintenance and execution control

Layer / File(s) Summary
State-based asynchronous test waits
downstreamadapter/dispatcher/*_test.go, downstreamadapter/sink/mysql/sink_test.go, downstreamadapter/sink/blackhole/sink_test.go
Tests poll for callbacks, pending events, block stages, resend tasks, flushes, and sink state instead of relying on fixed delays.
Configurable timing and execution controls
pkg/pdutil/*, pkg/sink/mysql/*, coordinator/*, logservice/logpuller/txn_matcher_test.go, pkg/orchestrator/*, pkg/workerpool/*, maintainer/maintainer_manager_test.go, utils/chann/*, pkg/version/*, pkg/migrate/migrate_test.go
Retry and DDL polling intervals are configurable. Tests use stale timestamps, synchronized producers, shorter waits, and reduced workloads.
Shared test-store lifecycle and isolation
pkg/common/event/util.go, pkg/leakutil/leak_helper.go, pkg/eventservice/main_test.go, pkg/sink/mysql/main_test.go, logservice/schemastore/*, pkg/eventservice/event_broker_test.go, pkg/sink/codec/common/utils.go, pkg/sink/codec/debezium/debezium_test.go, pkg/common/event/dml_event_benchmark_test.go
Helpers manage shared and private stores, and leak-test cleanup closes shared stores before leak checks. Tests reset schemas, isolate a synthetic DDL fixture, avoid pooled-event reuse, cache copied events, close a SQL helper, and rename benchmarks.
Shutdown waits and CI caching
downstreamadapter/eventcollector/log_coordinator_client.go, pkg/tcpserver/tcp_server_test.go, .github/workflows/pr_build_and_test.yaml
Coordinator retry waits respond to context cancellation. The gRPC test closes its client connection before graceful shutdown. CI jobs add explicit Go module and build caches.

Explanation

The description repeats the template without explaining the changes. The issue reference is still a placeholder, the change and impact sections are blank, the checklist is unselected, and the release note is boilerplate.

Resolution

Replace the placeholder issue reference with a linked issue or the repository-approved alternative. Summarize how the tests are accelerated, select the applicable test checklist item, answer both compatibility and documentation questions, and provide a release note or 'None'. (If the PR is intentionally marked DNM, state that clearly and explain why.)

logpuller: TestMatcherTryCleanUnmatchedValue backdated lastPrewriteTime
instead of sleeping 6s/1s/6s/6s to cross the cleaning threshold, so each
subtest asserts the threshold deterministically. 23.7s -> 4.9s.

workerpool: TestEventuallyRun shortens the pool-restart soak from
10x500ms to 10x50ms, and TestCancelByAddEventContext waits until all
producers accepted their events instead of sleeping 5s before cancelling.
21.0s -> 11.3s.
The renames were too broad for one change. bcccb3c also carried
unrelated test-speed optimizations (orchestrator tick count, pdutil
retry budget, sink/mysql DDL poll interval); only the renames are
undone here, so those optimizations stay in place.

setup-go caches with one key shared by every job of this workflow, so
whichever job saves first pins the key: the unit test jobs then restore
an almost empty (~7KB) entry and never save their own. Every run
downloaded all modules and compiled the -race test binaries from
scratch, which is ~6 minutes before the first test even starts.

Cache the module and build caches explicitly with one key per task, and
turn setup-go's built-in caching off so it cannot poison the key again.
Note that GitHub scopes caches per branch, so a pull request only reuses
its own entries until the same job also runs on master.
handleResolvedTs returns the event it is given to the wrapEvent pool,
but the test passed the same event on every iteration, so the pool ends
up holding the same pointer many times over. A later test can then get
that pointer from the pool in two goroutines at once, which shows up as
a data race between the scan worker and the send worker, or as a
message with an unexpected payload type.

Give every iteration its own event.
session.BootstrapSession dominates the unit tests: the first call on a
store spends seconds creating and filling the TiDB system tables, but a
later call on the same store only creates a domain and costs a
fraction of that. The unit tests create ~270 helpers, so bootstrap one
store per test binary, create a domain per helper, and drop the user
schemas when the last live helper closes so that helpers stay isolated.

Also:
- build the NewLargeEvent4Test events once per package and hand out
  copies, every codec test needs the same events
- close the shared store before the goroutine leak check of a test
  binary, otherwise goleak reports the store goroutines
- close the leaking helper in the debezium TestDataTypes, which now
  matters because the helper keeps state for the following tests

Local runs with -tags=intest -race: canal 90s -> 15s, open 84s -> 14s,
simple 52s -> 11s, eventservice 63s -> 16s.

The helpers of a test binary share one bootstrapped store, but sharing it
needs three things that the first version got wrong:

- the domain has to stay alive for as long as the helpers run, because it
  owns the DDL worker; closing it made every later DDL wait for an owner
  that never came back (logservice/schemastore timed out after 5m)
- helpers that are alive at the same time need a store of their own,
  otherwise a subtest sees the tables of its parent test
  (downstreamadapter/dispatcher failed with "Table 'test.t' already
  exists")
- a test that writes to the system tables can break the store for every
  later test, so NewEventTestHelperWithPrivateStore gives it a store of
  its own; the test that inserts a synthetic row into mysql.tidb_ddl_job
  uses it

Taking over the shared store now drops the schemas the previous helper
left behind, and the goroutine leak check closes the shared domain and
store.
- version: the version checks in TestCheckClusterVersion now retry with 1ms
  instead of up to 1s between attempts (17.3s -> 0.1s)
- tcpserver: the grpc tests waited for the 5s context timeout because
  GracefulStop cannot finish while the client connection is open (10.1s ->
  0.1s)
- chann: fewer stress iterations for the race and unbounded channel tests
  (14.2s -> 4.0s)
- workerpool: fewer timer ticks, a shorter async pool task batch and a
  shorter settle wait (8.9s -> 4.1s)
- orchestrator: fewer ticks per reactor and the etcd tests run in parallel,
  they start their own embedded etcd (12.2s -> 5.5s)
- migrate: the safepoint failure test that only checks for an error now uses
  a context with a short deadline instead of the full PD API client retry
  budget (8.5s -> 3.3s)

Per package, measured with -tags=intest -race.
TestMaintainerSchedulesNodeChanges slept 5s twice to let the schedulers
settle, while the checks after each sleep already wait for the state they
need. Wait 500ms instead and poll every 50ms rather than every 200ms
(16.9s -> 9.2s).

- coordinator: the API polled every second for a stop changefeed operator
  to finish, and two tests finished those operators from a goroutine that
  also ticked once a second. The interval is now a variable the tests set
  to 10ms (11.6s -> 3.4s, TestConcurrentDeleteLastChangefeed... 5.0s ->
  0.1s)
- downstreamadapter/sink/mysql: three tests slept 1s/1s/2s to wait for a
  DML flush or for the sink to report an error; they now wait for that
  state (6.6s -> 2.7s)
LogCoordinatorClient.run slept a full second when the log coordinator is
unknown, which also delayed every Close by up to that second because the
sleep was not interruptible (TestRemoveLastDispatcher took 1s for a test
that does not go through the log coordinator at all).

Restore EnableDistTask only after the last helper closes.

Overlapping helpers each snapshot and modify the process-global vardef.EnableDistTask. If helper A captures true, helper B captures A's false, and A closes first, Close at Line 879 restores true while B still runs. B can then send DDL through the distributed-task path that mockstore cannot support. Track the original value for the active helper set and restore it only when the last helper closes.

The test bootstrapped a mock TiDB store only to get a table info and an
insert event, which is ~2.6s of the ~3.6s it needs, and then slept a
second waiting for the flush. Build the event by hand and wait for the
callback instead: the test itself is now too fast to measure.
