What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #6356

With general EventStore data sharing disabled, normal and redo dispatchers independently ingest the same upstream span even when served by the same EventStore. This duplicates upstream delivery, initial scans and EventStore writes.

What is changed and how it works?

  • Add debug.event-store.enable-redo-data-sharing, defaulting to false, independently of general data sharing.
  • Pass dispatcher mode into EventStore registration and reuse exact-span local subscriptions only for the same changefeed identity, opposite normal/redo modes, matching keyspace and subscription settings (BDR and low-latency mode), and a retained timestamp range covering the requested start timestamp.
  • Allow compatible consumers to share the initial scan before initialization. Serialize registration lookup/create and release the registration lock before upstream Subscribe.
  • Preserve independent checkpoints, notifications and iterators, minimum-consumer checkpoint retention, and the existing subscription lifecycle. Remote onlyReuse probes retain their existing behavior.
  • Add lifecycle, single-copy/two-iterator, isolation, concurrent registration and retained-range/replacement tests, including isolation between different low-latency modes. Document configuration and cluster validation in docs/design/redo_subscription_sharing.md.

Check List

Tests

  • Unit test
  • Manual test

Validation: make fmt scoped to the changed Go files, bash scripts/check-diff-line-width.sh, and git diff --cached --check passed. go test -tags=intest -p 2 ./logservice/eventstore ./pkg/config ./pkg/eventservice -count=1 failed during dependency setup, before compilation: the existing master dependency github.com/pingcap/tidb/pkg/parser@v0.0.0-20260813153327-eadd1201d6e3 reports unknown revision eadd1201d6e3. The dependency files are unchanged. Race tests and cluster benchmarks/recovery/failover tests have not been run.

Questions

Will it cause performance regression or break compatibility?

The option is disabled by default and introduces no RPC or stored-key format changes. When enabled, a short registration critical section prevents duplicate subscriptions for compatible local pairs. Shared retention follows the slower consumer. Cross-node pairs, dispatcher scans, decoding and sink writes remain independent, and existing subscriptions are not merged retroactively. Cluster benchmarks are needed to quantify CPU, memory, write-stall and lag changes.

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

Added docs/design/redo_subscription_sharing.md with configuration, correctness constraints, rollback and validation steps. Reuse logs include the changefeed, both dispatcher IDs, mode and subscription ID for correlation.

Release note

Add a disabled-by-default option to share compatible local upstream subscriptions and EventStore data between normal and redo dispatchers of the same changefeed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an opt-in setting to share event subscriptions between compatible normal-mode and redo-mode changefeeds, reducing duplicate event ingestion.
    • Sharing is disabled by default; enabling it requires a TiCDC restart. Incompatible subscriptions continue to use separate event streams.
    • Added setup guidance and validation steps for measuring subscription counts, ingestion, latency, and recovery behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a disabled-by-default option for local sharing between compatible normal and redo subscriptions. EventStore registration now receives dispatcher mode and changefeed identity. Tests cover subscription reuse, eligibility constraints, concurrent registration, and retained timestamp ranges.

Changes

Redo subscription sharing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sharing configuration and dispatcher mode
pkg/config/debug.go, logservice/eventstore/event_store.go, pkg/eventservice/event_broker.go, docs/design/redo_subscription_sharing.md
Adds the enable-redo-data-sharing option and passes dispatcher mode and changefeed identity through registration. The design document records the eligibility rules, fallback behavior, and validation procedure.
Compatible subscription lookup and reuse
logservice/eventstore/event_store.go, logservice/eventstore/redo_sharing.go
When sharing is enabled, registration serializes lookup and creation. The reuse check matches an opposite-mode peer with compatible settings and a retained timestamp range, then attaches the new subscriber to that subscription.
Sharing behavior tests
logservice/eventstore/event_store_test.go, logservice/eventstore/redo_sharing_test.go, pkg/eventservice/event_service_test.go
Updates registration calls for the new mode argument. New tests cover shared lifecycle, compatibility constraints, concurrent registration, and retained ranges.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 85696

Normal and redo dispatchers can now share a subscription, but only when the new opt-in flag is set, so default behavior is unchanged. The one remaining issue is the incomplete license header in the two new files, which is a small fix to make before or soon after merging.
