This is an automated cherry-pick of #12450

What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #12449

What is changed and how it works?

This PR addresses an issue where split DDLs from a multi-table RENAME statement could be executed out of order downstream because they share the same CommitTs and the order of ranging map is non-deterministic.

Check List

Tests

  • Unit test
  • Integration test
  • Manual test

Questions

Will it cause performance regression or break compatibility?

None

Do you need to update user documentation, design documentation or monitoring documentation?

None

Release note

Fix the incorrect execution order of split DDLs generated from a multi-table DDL statement (e.g., RENAME TABLE).

Summary of Changes

Hello @ti-chi-bot, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request resolves a critical data consistency problem in the Change Data Capture (CDC) system. Previously, DDL events resulting from complex multi-table RENAME operations could be processed in an incorrect sequence by downstream systems. This was because these events often shared the same commit timestamp, and the system's internal processing relied on non-deterministic map iteration, leading to unpredictable ordering. The solution introduces a new sequence number (Seq) for DDL events, which is assigned during the DDL event generation process and then used by the DDL manager to enforce strict ordering, guaranteeing that multi-table DDLs are applied in their intended sequence downstream.

Highlights

  • DDL Ordering Fix: Addresses an issue where split DDLs from multi-table RENAME statements could be executed out of order downstream due to sharing the same CommitTs and non-deterministic map iteration.
  • Sequence Number Introduction: Introduces a Seq field to the DDLEvent struct to provide a strict ordering mechanism for DDLs that share the same commit timestamp, particularly for multi-table DDLs.
  • Serialization Updates: Updates the msgp generated code for DDLEvent and RedoDDLEvent to correctly handle the new Seq field during encoding, decoding, marshaling, and unmarshaling.
  • DDL Manager Logic: Modifies the ddlManager's getNextDDL method to prioritize DDL events based on Seq when multiple events have the same CommitTs, ensuring correct execution order.
  • Integration Tests: Adds new integration tests specifically designed to verify the correct ordering of events generated by multi-table RENAME TABLE operations.

Code Review

This pull request correctly addresses an ordering issue with split DDLs from multi-table RENAME statements by introducing a sequence number (Seq) to DDLEvent. The logic to assign and use this sequence number in schema_storage.go and ddl_manager.go appears sound. The accompanying changes in the generated file sink_gen.go also include a beneficial refactoring that improves code maintainability by delegating RedoDDLEvent's serialization to DDLEvent's methods. However, there is a critical issue in cdc/model/sink.go where merge conflict markers have been left in the code, which will prevent compilation. This must be resolved.

This file contains merge conflict markers (<<<<<<<, =======, >>>>>>>) which will cause a compilation failure. These markers should be removed, and the code should be resolved to include the intended changes.
