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

• Improvements
  • Improved handling of database updates across batches, with batching adjusted to the size of the data and configured limits.
  • Added safeguards that use alternative processing paths when changes cannot be safely combined.

Walkthrough

The MySQL sink adds normal, per-event, and cross-event DML generation. It merges row changes across events and selects batched or individual UPDATE statements using row counts and estimated payload sizes.

Changes: MySQL DML batching

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Event DML paths pkg/sink/mysql/mysql_writer_dml_batch.go	Adds normal and per-event DML generation, plus cross-event batching selection based on safe-mode and event timestamp conditions.
Cross-event row merging pkg/sink/mysql/mysql_writer_dml_batch.go	Adds safe and unsafe row merging by key, including fallback behavior and handling for invalid row combinations.
SQL batching and size limits pkg/sink/mysql/mysql_writer_dml_batch.go, pkg/sink/mysql/mysql_writer_dml_test.go	Adds transaction SQL generation with row-count and update-size limits. Tests verify when UPDATE changes produce a CASE WHEN statement or individual statements.

Merge Risk: Critical · previous review 832c0

The MySQL sink cannot build until the duplicate methods are removed. Panic logging also needs correction to honor configured redaction. Resolve these issues before merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: the MySQL sink now honors max-multi-update-row-size for batched UPDATEs. The raw summary and PR description both confirm the change computes UPDATE row sizes so the threshold takes effect for TiDB downstreams. The title is short, specific, and matches the changeset.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It includes a problem statement, a linked issue (close #6747), a clear explanation of what changed and how it works, a checked test list (unit and integration), and a release note. The questions on performance and compatibility and on documentation are left blank. The description also says it is an automated cherry-pick, which is useful context. The blank template questions are non-critical, so the description is mostly complete.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are limited to MySQL DML batching and its tests. The reported update-size calculation, threshold handling, and SQL statement behavior directly address the context in #6747. No unrelated change is demonstrated.

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 1 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

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

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

Every UPDATE in TestPrepareDMLsMaxMultiUpdateRowSize uses the same payload size. With identical sizes, a check that reads only the first UPDATE gives the same result as the check that uses the group total. The test cannot detect a first-row-only decision.

Add a case with a small UPDATE first and a large UPDATE second in one event. Choose sizes so the total is at or above MaxMultiUpdateRowSize times the row count. Expect one row-per-statement output. This case fails if the decision reads only the first UPDATE.

The current harness builds prePayload and payload once per subtest and reuses them for every row. Build the sizes per row so the new case can vary them within one event.

A large-first, small-second case is optional. Under the summed check it produces per-row output, and a first-row-only check also produces per-row output. It does not detect a first-row-only decision. It only checks that the result does not depend on row order.

Stop logging whole event slices in the panic paths.

zap.Any serializes []*DMLEvent and []RowChange by reflection. That output includes the exported RowKeys and RowKey bytes, which encode primary-key values. Under redact-log ON or MARKER, these panic logs bypass the redaction that the neighboring util.RedactAny calls apply. Log only the counts.

🔒 Suggested fix

-		zap.Error(err), zap.Any("events", events), zap.Int("writerID", w.id))
+		zap.Error(err), zap.Int("eventCount", len(events)), zap.Int("writerID", w.id))

-					zap.String("tableName", tableInfo.GetTableName()), zap.Any("rowChanges", rowChanges),
+					zap.String("tableName", tableInfo.GetTableName()), zap.Int("rowChangeCount", len(rowChanges)),
