📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change enables ActionRecoverSchema across filtering, sink handling, and SchemaStore persistence. It loads recovered tables from snapshot metadata, restores schema metadata, propagates builder errors, updates deletion state, and adds unit and integration coverage.

Changes

Schema recovery classification and routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
DDL classification and routing
pkg/binlog-filter/*, pkg/filter/*, logservice/schemastore/persist_storage.go
Adds RecoverDatabase, maps ActionRecoverSchema to it, applies table filtering, and processes recovery jobs.
Recover job preparation
logservice/schemastore/persist_storage_ddl_handlers.go, logservice/schemastore/persist_storage_test_utils.go
Loads missing table information from SnapshotTS, supports legacy job arguments, validates recovery metadata, and propagates preparation errors.
Persisted recovery and metadata application
logservice/schemastore/persist_storage.go, logservice/schemastore/persist_storage_ddl_handlers.go, logservice/schemastore/multi_version.go
Builds recovery events, restores schema and table metadata, updates DDL history, enriches event state, propagates errors, and resets deletion state.
Sink recovery handling
pkg/sink/codec/common/*, pkg/sink/mysql/*
Maps FLASHBACK DATABASE to ActionRecoverSchema, treats it as non-blocking, and avoids a database switch.
Recovery validation
logservice/schemastore/*_test.go, pkg/*/*_test.go, tests/integration_tests/common_1/*
Tests metadata restoration, filtering, legacy and snapshot-based jobs, sink execution, DDL history, and recovery followed by schema removal.

🟠 Major · Prevent excluded tables from reaching recovery sinks.

logservice/schemastore/persist_storage_ddl_handlers.go:2288-2290
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Prevent excluded tables from reaching recovery sinks. When per-table filterDDL returns notSync=true, buildDDLEventForRecoverSchema omits that table from MultipleTableInfos, but retains rawEvent.Query and leaves ddlEvent.NotSync=false. The Kafka sink therefore emits the schema-wide recovery SQL, and a downstream consumer may execute FLASHBACK DATABASE for the excluded table. Apply the correction during recovery-event construction, before emission, so the query or event cannot recover excluded tables. NeedAddedTables and TableNameChange update metadata and are not the correction boundary.
