What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #5936 close #3957

What is changed and how it works?

Optimized the redo sink's two-stage acknowledgment pipeline:

  • Batches encoded redo events into multi-message spool entries, reducing per-row spool I/O and scheduling overhead.

  • Calls PostEnqueue only after the spool has accepted the entire batch, allowing the dispatcher to continue safely.

  • Keeps a separate PostFlush callback for each event and calls it only after the corresponding redo file has been persisted.

  • Releases each spool entry only after all events in that entry have been flushed.

  • Adds an ordered flush barrier when the spool disk quota is exhausted. Pending redo files are persisted and their quota is released before enqueueing more data.

  • Releases callbacks per completed redo file instead of waiting for every file in the flush round.

This reduces spool overhead, prevents memory growth and quota-related stalls, and improves redo checkpoint latency and throughput.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds configurable redo spool storage, shared quota accounting and serialization, a spooled DML writer, separate enqueue and flush acknowledgements, reader-owned framed files, and updated redo worker metrics and dashboards.

Changes

Redo configuration and API

Layer / File(s) Summary
Spool configuration contracts
api/v2/model.go, pkg/config/..., pkg/redo/config.go, tests/integration_tests/api_v2/...
Adds spool quota and base-directory fields, validation, defaults, API conversion, and integration test coverage.

Shared spool and writer pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared spool implementation
pkg/sink/spool/*, downstreamadapter/sink/cloudstorage/*
Adds exported quota accounting, message serialization, component-owned metrics, directory namespaces, and shared spool imports.
Redo writer pipeline
pkg/redo/writer/*, downstreamadapter/sink/redo/*, pkg/common/event/redo.go
Adds the spooled DML writer, flush barriers, separate enqueue and flush callbacks, direct writer construction, and per-event delivery.
Framed files and observability
pkg/redo/reader/*, pkg/metrics/redo.go, metrics/*
Adds temporary framed-file commit and abort handling, per-file callback release, busy-time accounting, and revised Grafana panels and queries.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 13f2e

The redo writer lifecycle test may miss or hang on a shutdown regression, leaving bounded uncertainty around close behavior in the new acknowledgment pipeline.

I am a rabbit with spool in my burrow
Quotas keep bytes within their furrow
Events hop in, then files take flight
Flush bells ring when the path is right
Metrics glow softly through the night
I nibble the tests and declare them bright

241-259: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider batched retrieval in sendMessages.

The loop now retrieves and forwards one RedoRowEvent per iteration. Each row costs one channel get, one AddDMLEvents call, and one metric observation. logBuffer supports GetMultipleNoGroup, which sink_test.go already uses. Batched retrieval amortizes this per-row overhead on the hot path, and AddDMLEvents accepts a variadic slice, so the downstream contract stays unchanged.

♻️ Proposed refactor
 func (s *Sink) sendMessages(ctx context.Context) error {
+	buffer := make([]*commonEvent.RedoRowEvent, 0, defaultBatchSize)
 	for {
-		event, ok, err := s.logBuffer.GetWithContext(ctx)
-		if err != nil {
-			return errors.Trace(err)
-		}
-		if !ok {
-			return nil
-		}
-
-		start := time.Now()
-		if err := s.dmlWriter.AddDMLEvents(ctx, event); err != nil {
-			return err
-		}
-		if s.metricCollector != nil {
-			s.metricCollector.observeRowWrite(1, time.Since(start))
-		}
+		events, ok := s.logBuffer.GetMultipleNoGroup(buffer[:0])
+		if !ok {
+			return nil
+		}
+		start := time.Now()
+		if err := s.dmlWriter.AddDMLEvents(ctx, events...); err != nil {
+			return err
+		}
+		if s.metricCollector != nil {
+			s.metricCollector.observeRowWrite(len(events), time.Since(start))
+		}
 	}
 }

Note: GetMultipleNoGroup does not accept a context, so keep a cancellation check if you adopt this form.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make the Close wait assertion deterministic.

Close can remain unscheduled for 100 ms. The timeout can then pass even if Close would return before release(). The direct receive after release() can also block indefinitely on a regression.

Wait until Close has entered its closing state, assert that closeDone is still blocked, and use a bounded wait after release().

As per coding guidelines, **/*_test.go: Prefer focused deterministic tests; see docs/agents/testing.md before adding or changing tests.
