Add to the schema object a member that points to the CDC schema object
that is compatible with this schema, if any.
The compatible CDC schema is created and altered with its base schema in
the same group0 operation.
When generating CDC log mutations for some base mutation we want them to
be created using a compatible schema thas has a CDC column corresponding
to each base column. This change will allow us to find the right CDC
schema given a base mutation.
We also update the relevant structures in the schema registry that are
related to learning about schemas and transporting schemas across
shards or nodes.
When transporting a schema as frozen_schema, we need to transport the
frozen cdc schema as well, and set it again when unfreezing and
reconstructing the schema.
When adding a schema to the registry, we need to ensure its CDC schema
is added to the registry as well.
Currently we always set the CDC schema to nullptr and maintain the
previous behavior. We will change it in a later commit. Until then, we
mark all places where CDC schema is passed clearly so we don't forget
it.
remove the _base_info member from global_schema_ptr, and used the
base_info we have stored in the schema registry entry instead.
Currently when constructing a global_schema_ptr from a schema_ptr it
extracts and stores the base_info from the schema_ptr. Later it uses it
to reconstruct the schema_ptr, together with the frozen schema from the
schema registry entry.
But we can use the base_info that is already stored in the
schema registry entry.
The schema_registry_entry holds a frozen_schema and a base_info. The
base_info is extracted from the schema_ptr on load of a schema_ptr, and
it is used when unfreezing the schema.
But this is exactly what extended_frozen_schema is doing, so we can
just store an object of this type in the schema_registry_entry.
This makes the code simpler because the schema registry doesn't need to
be aware of the base_info.
Currently we construct a frozen schema with base info in few places, and
the caller is responsible for constructing the frozen schema and extracting
the base info if it's a view table.
We change it to make it simpler and remove the burden from the caller.
The caller can simply pass the schema_ptr, and the constructor for
extended_frozen_schema will construct the frozen schema and extract
the additional info it needs. This will make it easier to add additional
fields, and reduces code duplication.
We also make temporary castings between extended_frozen_schema and
view_schema_and_base_info for the transition, which are trivial, until
they are combined to a single type.
This commit starts a series of refactoring commits of the frozen_schema
to reduce duplication and make it easier to extend.
Currently there are two essentially identical types,
frozen_schema_with_base_info and view_schema_and_base_info in the
schema_registry that hold a frozen_schema together with a base_info for
view schemas.
Their role is to pass around a frozen schema together with additional
info that is extracted from the schema and passed around with it when
transporting it across shards or nodes, and is needed for
reconstructing it, and it is not part of the schema mutations.
Our goal is to combine them to a single type that we will call
extended_frozen_schema.
