风月 7054eea8d2 fix(meta): validate persisted partition bounds before altering regions
A partition bound is persisted with the type of the column at the time
it was written. When an ALTER TABLE changes the type of a column
referenced by a partition expression (widening the time index unit is
the common case), each region rewrites the bound literal to the new
type while building its scan predicate. A millisecond bound like year
3000 fits milliseconds but overflows nanoseconds, so every scan of the
region fails once the table schema is updated -- and some regions may
already be altered when the failure surfaces.

Validate every region's persisted expression on prepare, before any
region is modified: parse the persisted JSON (mirrored types, since
common-meta cannot depend on the partition crate which depends on it),
replay the same value -> ScalarValue conversion and checked cast the
region performs, and reject the ALTER naming the offending region when
a bound cannot be represented with the new column type. Incompatible
changes are rejected atomically; compatible widening proceeds unchanged.

Adds meta-level tests (multi-region rejection naming the second region,
compatible widening completing) and an end-to-end sqlness case.

Fixes #9454

Sqlness Test

Sqlness manual

Case file

Sqlness has two types of file:

  • .sql: test input, SQL only
  • .result: expected test output, SQL and its results

.result is the output (execution result) file. If you see .result files is changed, it means this test gets a different result and indicates it fails. You should check change logs to solve the problem.

You only need to write test SQL in .sql file, and run the test.

Case organization

The root dir of input cases is tests/cases. It contains several subdirectories stand for different test modes. E.g., standalone/ contains all the tests to run under greptimedb standalone start mode.

Under the first level of subdirectory (e.g. the cases/standalone), you can organize your cases as you like. Sqlness walks through every file recursively and runs them.

Kafka WAL

Sqlness supports Kafka WAL. You can either provide a Kafka cluster or let sqlness to start one for you.

To run test with kafka, you need to pass the option -w kafka. If no other options are provided, sqlness will use conf/kafka-cluster.yml to start a Kafka cluster. This requires docker and docker-compose commands in your environment.

Otherwise, you can additionally pass the your existing kafka environment to sqlness with -k option. E.g.:

cargo sqlness bare -w kafka -k localhost:9092

In this case, sqlness will not start its own kafka cluster and the one you provided instead.

Run the test

Unlike other tests, this harness is in a binary target form. You can run it with:

cargo sqlness bare

It automatically finishes the following procedures: compile GreptimeDB, start it, grab tests and feed it to the server, then collect and compare the results. You only need to check if the .result files are changed. If not, congratulations, the test is passed 🥳!
