What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #6725

What is changed and how it works?

Retrying a partially applied CREATE TABLE batch could encounter a table-already-exists error and incorrectly treat the entire batch as successful, leaving subsequent tables uncreated.

• For ActionCreateTables, use DDLEvent.GetEvents() to split the batch into individual CREATE statements in the MySQL writer. Execute each statement through the existing retry and ignorable-error handling logic.
• An ignorable error, such as Error 1050, completes only the current statement, allowing the remaining CREATE statements to execute. Retrying the current statement or replaying the original batch can therefore complete the remaining table creations.
• Preserve the original batch event for DDL timestamp bookkeeping and completion callbacks. Mark the batch complete only after every statement succeeds or returns an individually ignorable error.
• Limit splitting to ActionCreateTables, preserving multi-table RENAME execution.

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 TiCDC could skip remaining CREATE TABLE statements when retrying a partially applied batch, causing subsequent DML replication to fail.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved MySQL replication of batches that create multiple tables. An already-existing table no longer prevents later table creations from being processed.
  • Failures in later table creations are reported, and the batch is acknowledged only after all creations succeed.
  • Improved retry and partial-progress handling so successful table creations are preserved when a later creation fails.
  • Added coverage for batch creation during replication, including recovery from ignorable DDL failures and verification that subsequent tables and their data are replicated.

Walkthrough

The MySQL writer now executes each statement in a batched CREATE TABLE event separately and stops on the first error. Tests cover statement errors, retries, event completion, callback behavior, and downstream replication.

Changes: MySQL batched CREATE TABLE handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Per-statement execution and validation pkg/sink/mysql/mysql_writer_ddl.go, pkg/sink/mysql/mysql_writer_ddl_test.go, downstreamadapter/sink/mysql/sink_test.go	execDDLWithMaxRetries processes each child DDL in order and returns the first error. Tests cover successful batches, existing-table errors, retries, partial failures, callback behavior, and multi-table RENAME TABLE.
Batch replication integration coverage tests/integration_tests/batch_add_table/run.sh	The MySQL integration test applies the first statement before starting replication from a captured timestamp. It checks subsequent table creation, row replication, and the ignorable DDL failure log.

Explanation

The MySQL writer change supports the batch CREATE retry fix described in #6725. The unit, sink, and integration tests cover that fix and preservation of multi-table RENAME behavior. The whole-PR summary identifies no unrelated changes. The incremental diff was unavailable, but the whole-PR summary supports the scope assessment.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 5 functions across 4 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

_{A rabbit checks each table’s name,
Then hops along the CREATE chain.
If one statement meets a wall,
The rest wait there; none skip at all.
When every table joins the run,
The rabbit thumps: the batch is done.}
