This is an automated cherry-pick of #6748

What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #6747

What is changed and how it works?

The MySQL sink did not populate the approximate data size of converted UPDATE row changes. As a result, the batching logic treated every row as zero bytes, so positive max-multi-update-row-size values never triggered the fallback to single-row UPDATE statements for TiDB downstreams.

This change calculates each UPDATE’s approximate data size by summing the raw column sizes of both its previous and current row images, then stores the estimate in the SQL row change. The existing batching logic uses these estimates to generate one UPDATE statement per row when the average size is at or above the configured threshold.

Check List

Tests

  • Unit test
  • Integration test

Questions

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

Release note

Fixed a bug that caused max-multi-update-row-size to be ignored when batching UPDATE statements for TiDB downstreams.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Update batching now accounts for the size of both previous and current row data when deciding whether to combine updates, helping avoid oversized batch statements.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for update batching at different payload sizes and threshold settings, including disabled batching and MySQL downstream mode.

Walkthrough

The update conversion now records approximate row sizes and uses them when selecting batched or separate update statements. Tests cover configured thresholds and fallback cases.

Changes: MySQL update batch sizing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update size estimation and SQL selection
pkg/sink/mysql/mysql_writer_dml_batch.go, pkg/sink/mysql/mysql_writer_dml_test.go
Update row changes now store the combined raw byte lengths of matching pre-row and post-row columns. Tests check whether prepared statements use a CASE WHEN batch or separate updates across threshold, row-image size, batching, and downstream-mode cases.

The size estimate now informs UPDATE batching as expected. A mixed-size test would strengthen regression protection, but no merge-blocking defect is established.

Add a mixed-size UPDATE case to the threshold test.

Every case in TestPrepareDMLsMaxMultiUpdateRowSize gives all UPDATE rows in a batch the same image sizes. In those cases, a rule that checks only the first UPDATE's size gives the same result as the batch-average rule. Add a case where the first UPDATE has a small payload and the second has a large payload, for example 16 bytes and 16,384 bytes. The batch average exceeds the threshold, so the expected result is two statements. A first-row-only check would emit one CASE WHEN statement instead.

The fixture currently applies one prePayload and one payload to every row. Supporting this case requires per-row payload sizes. The split-branch assertions also need to use each row's own payload.
