when loading CDC streams metadata for tablets from the tables, read only
new entries from the history table instead of reading all entries. This
improves the CDC metadata reloading, making it more efficient and
predictable.
the CDC metadata is loaded as part of group0 reload whenever the
internal CDC tables are modified. on tablet split / merge, we create a
new CDC timestamp and streams by writing them to the cdc_streams_history
table by group0 operation, and when it's applied we reload the in-memory
CDC streams map by reading from the tables and constructing the updated map.
Previously, on every update, we would read the entire
cdc_streams_history entries for the changed table, constructing all its
streams and creating a new map from scratch.
We improve this now by reading only new entries from cdc_streams_history
and append them to the existing map. we can do this because we only
append new entries to cdc_streams_history with higher timestamp than all
previous entries.
This makes this reloading more efficient and predictable, because
previously we would read a number of entries that depends on the number
of tablets splits and merges, which increases over time and is
unbounded, whereas now we read only a single stream set on each update.
