What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #6243

What is changed and how it works?

  • Detect tables becoming eligible after DDL and notify the table trigger to create dispatchers, preventing subsequent CREATE TABLE LIKE from blocking.
  • Add DDL whitelist integration tests covering replication, filtering, and eligibility transitions.

According to the doc, there may be a risk of data inconsistency:

When the upstream table has no valid index and force-replicate=true is not configured, the table will not be replicated. However, subsequent DDL statements (including CREATE INDEX, ADD INDEX, and ADD PRIMARY KEY) that create a valid index on this table will be replicated, which might cause inconsistency between downstream and upstream table schemas and lead to subsequent data replication failure.

Check List

Tests

  • Unit test
  • Integration test
  • Manual test (add detailed scripts or steps below)
  1. Create a cluster
tiup playground --db 1 --pd 1 --kv 1 --tiflash 0 --ticdc 1 --ticdc.binpath xxx --ticdc.config ./ticdc-newarch.toml
#Create a changefeed
tiup cdc:v8.5.8 cli changefeed create -c test --sink-uri 'blackhole://'
  1. Create an ineligible table
CREATE TABLE test.a (pk BIGINT NOT NULL);
#Add a primary key to this table
ALTER TABLE test.a ADD PRIMARY KEY (pk);
#Create another table that depends on it
CREATE TABLE test.b LIKE test.a;
  1. Changefeed lag is normal

Questions

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

Release note

  Fix an issue where CREATE TABLE LIKE could stall replication after adding a primary or unique key to a previously ineligible table.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • DDL replication now tracks both acquisition and loss of a table’s effective replication key.
    • Replication-key transitions are handled across default and forced replication modes, including partitioned tables and multiple schemas.
    • DDL events preserve replication-key state across storage reloads and remain compatible with previously persisted data.
    • Tables losing their final key are correctly removed from dispatching and downstream table scheduling.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved historical schema lookup and handling of garbage-collected snapshots.
    • Preserved recovery behavior for replication-key loss during unfinished DDL operations.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for whitelist filtering, transitions, recovery, and dispatcher behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change replaces the eligibility flag with replication-key acquisition and loss events. It adds historical schema lookup, routes DDL events based on filter settings, preserves MessagePack compatibility, retains DDL recovery metadata, and adds unit and integration coverage.

Changes

Replication-key DDL propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Replication-key event contract
logservice/schemastore/types.go, logservice/schemastore/types_gen.go, pkg/filter/filter.go, pkg/filter/filter_test.go
PersistedDDLEvent records acquired and lost replication keys. MessagePack retains the legacy acquisition field name and adds the loss field. The filter exposes its force-replication state.
Historical table-info lookup
logservice/schemastore/persist_storage.go, logservice/schemastore/table_info_lookup_test.go, logservice/schemastore/eligibility_test.go
Storage resolves table information at a DDL timestamp from initialized stores or persisted history. Tests cover registration waits, GC errors, deletion, encryption, concurrent GC, and benchmarks.
Replication-key enrichment and routing
logservice/schemastore/persist_storage.go, logservice/schemastore/persist_storage_ddl_handlers.go
DDL handlers identify acquisition and loss transitions. Loss events retain the pre-DDL schema. Event routing uses table triggers, filters, and dispatcher cleanup.
DDL timestamp retention and recovery
pkg/sink/mysql/mysql_writer_for_ddl_ts.go, pkg/sink/mysql/mysql_writer_ddl_ts_test.go, pkg/applier/redo_test.go
Column and key alterations retain DDL timestamp metadata. Recovery tests cover completed and unfinished replication-key loss operations.
Replication-key behavior validation
logservice/schemastore/eligibility_test.go, logservice/schemastore/persist_storage_test.go
Tests cover compatibility, filtering, transitions, reloads, forced replication, dispatcher registration, lookup errors, and trigger history.
DDL whitelist integration coverage
tests/integration_tests/ddl_whitelist/*, tests/integration_tests/run_heavy_it_in_ci.sh
Adds default, forced, and ignored whitelist scenarios for key transitions, dispatcher state, missing downstream tables, partitions, views, and unsupported DDLs.

A rabbit tracks each changing key
Through schemas old and schemas new
It hops past GC carefully
And keeps dispatchers in view
DDL timestamps guard the trail

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Move the require assertions out of the worker goroutine.

Testify require assertions call FailNow. The worker goroutine must not call them. Return the lookup result through a channel, then assert from the test callback.

Please also handle the reverse transition for DROP PRIMARY KEY and other related DDL types, removing existing dispatchers when the table loses its last usable replication key while keeping them for force-replicated changefeeds.
