TiDB v9.0 tidb_paging_size_bytes SESSION GLOBAL SET_VAR SET_VAR optimizer hint official documentation

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In TiDB, tidb_paging_size_bytes is a system variable introduced to control byte-budget paging for coprocessor requests [1][2]. Key details regarding this variable: - Scope and Default: It is a GLOBAL and SESSION scoped variable [1]. The default value is 0, which means the feature is disabled [1]. - Purpose: It allows users to set a byte budget for coprocessor RPCs [1]. When enabled (set to a value greater than 0), TiDB forwards this byte budget to the coprocessor to manage paging based on data size, independent of row-count paging [1]. - SET_VAR Support: The variable is explicitly allowed to be used within the SET_VAR optimizer hint [1]. This enables users to temporarily apply a specific byte-budget limit to a single SQL statement [3][4]. - Integration: The feature is designed to work in conjunction with TiDB&#39;s Resource Control (RC) system [1][5]. Paging is generally applied when the resource group associated with the statement has a hard-capped (limited) burst [5]. Example Usage with SET_VAR: SELECT /*+ SET_VAR(tidb_paging_size_bytes=1048576) */ * FROM table_name; This hint sets the byte-budget to 1 MiB for the duration of that specific SELECT statement [1][4].

<title>*: add tidb_paging_size_bytes and forward it to coprocessor RPC</title> GitHub pull request 68091 in pingcap/tidb (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference) pingcap/kvproto#1448 adds a new `paging_size_bytes` field (tag 17) on `coprocessor.Request`. This PR adds the TiDB-side knob and plumbing so the byte budget can be set per session and forwarded onto each coprocessor RPC. ... - New `tidb_paging_size_bytes` global+session sysvar (default `0`, disabled). Allowed inside `SET_VAR` hints. - `session.GetDistSQLCtx` resolves the effective byte budget once: it keeps the session value only when Resource Control is enabled and the statement resource group has a non-negative adjusted burst limit; otherwise it forwards `0`. - The effective value flows through `DistSQLContext.PagingSizeBytes` into `kv.Request.Paging.PagingSizeBytes` via `RequestBuilder`; no extra RC state is carried in `kv.Request`. ... - In `pkg/store/copr`: - Byte-budget paging is applied only to TiKV DAG requests; `BuildCopIterator` zeroes the budget for any other request (non-TiKV or non-DAG), mirroring how `Paging.Enable` is handled, so `kv.Request.Paging.PagingSizeBytes` stays the single source of truth. - `paging_size_bytes` is propagated independently from row-count `paging_size`; it does not force-enable or rewrite row-count paging settings, and it survives row-count small-limit downgrades. - Downstream reads (the outgoing `coprocessor.Request.PagingSizeBytes`, retries, and region splits) take the budget straight off the request instead of a per-task copy, so no retry/split path can drop it. Index-lookup push down clears the budget alongside `Paging.Enable`/`Cacheable`. ... marker byte for ... paging_size ... * **New Features** * Added a new session and system variable for byte-based paging limits. * Paging-related requests now carry effective byte budget settings. * TiKV coprocessor paging can now use a byte budget in addition to row-count limits. ...

This includes: Note SET_VAR will be deprecated in an upcoming release. Consider using the SETTINGS Clause instead. - Configure settings temporarily, affecting only the duration of the SQL statement execution. It&`#39`;s important to note that the settings specified with SET_VAR will solely impact the result of the current statement being executed and will not have any lasting effects on the overall database configuration. For a list of available settings that can be configured using SET_VAR, see SHOW SETTINGS. To understand how it works, see these examples: - Example 1. Temporarily Set Timezone - Example 2: Control Parallel Processing for COPY INTO - Control the deduplication behavior on INSERT, UPDATE, or REPLACE operations with the label deduplicate_label. For those operations with a deduplicate_label in the SQL statements, TiDB Cloud Lake executes only the first statement, and subsequent statements with the same deduplicate_label value are ignored, regardless of their intended data modifications. Please note that once you set a deduplicate_label, it will remain in effect for a period of 24 hours. To understand how the deduplicate_label assists in deduplication, see Example 3: Set Deduplicate Label. - SETTINGS Clause - SET ## Syntax /*+ SET_VAR(key=value) SET_VAR(key=value) ... */ - The hint must immediately follow an SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, REPLACE, MERGE, DELETE, or COPY (INTO) keyword that begins the SQL statement. - A SET_VAR can include only one Key=Value pair, which means you can configure only one setting with one SET_VAR. However, you can use multiple SET_VAR hints to configure multiple settings. - If multiple SET_VAR hints containing a same key, the first Key=Value pair will be applied. - If a key fails to parse or bind, all hints will be ignored. ### Example 1: Temporarily Set Timezone root@localhost> SELECT TIMEZONE(); SELECT TIMEZONE(); ┌────────────┐ │ timezone() │ │ String │ ├────────────┤ │ UTC │ └────────────┘ 1 row in 0.011 sec.

Processed 1 rows, 1 B (104.34 rows/ s, 104 B/ s) ### Example 2: Control Parallel Processing for COPY INTO In TiDB Cloud Lake, the max_threads setting specifies the maximum number of threads that can be utilized to execute a request. By default, this value is typically set to match the number of CPU cores available on the machine. When loading data into TiDB Cloud Lake with COPY INTO, you can control the parallel processing capabilities by injecting hints into the COPY INTO command and setting the max_threads parameter. For example: COPY /*+ set_var(max_threads=6) */ INTO mytable FROM `@mystage/` pattern=&`#39`;.*[.]parq&`#39`; FILE_FORMAT=(TYPE= parquet); ### Example 3: Set Deduplicate Label CREATE TABLE t1(a Int, b bool); INSERT /*+ SET_VAR(deduplicate_label=&`#39`;datalake&`#39`;) */ INTO t1 (a, b) VALUES(1, false); SELECT * FROM t1; a| b| -+-+ 1| 0| UPDATE /*+ SET_VAR(deduplicate_label=&`#39`;datalake&`#39`;) */ t1 SET a = 20 WHERE b = false; SELECT * FROM t1; a| b| -+-+ 1| 0| REPLACE /*+ SET_VAR(deduplicate_label=&`#39`;datalake&`#39`;) */ INTO t1 on(a,b) VALUES(40, false); SELECT * FROM t1; a| b| -+-+ 1| 0| MERGE /*+ SET_VAR(deduplicate_label=&`#39`;datalake&`#39`;) */ INTO t1 using t2 on t1.a = t2.a when matched then update *; SELECT * FROM t1; a| b| -+-+ 1| 0| <title>session: use resource group runtime state for paging</title> GitHub pull request 69633 in pingcap/tidb (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference) PD resource control now exposes whether the runtime request-unit token bucket has a limited burst.

Started a `tiup playground v8.5.4 --mode tikv-slim` cluster with a locally built PD and a real TiKV store. 2. Set PD&`#39`;s keyspace service limit to `100`.

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In the TiDB source code (specifically within the sysvar.go file located in the sessionctx/variable package), TiDBPagingSizeBytes is a system variable that requires the IsHintUpdatableVerified flag to be set to true [1]. This configuration enables the variable to be modified using the SET_VAR optimizer hint [1]. The technical requirement for setting IsHintUpdatableVerified: true ensures that the system variable is explicitly marked as eligible for hint-based updates, allowing users to control the paging size at the statement level without modifying global or session-wide settings permanently [1]. This is a standard pattern in the TiDB codebase for exposing system variables to the hint mechanism [1][2].

TiDB "global paging byte budget" tidb_paging_size_bytes SET GLOBAL SESSION

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
The system variable tidb_paging_size_bytes is a configuration parameter in TiDB used to implement byte-granular paging for coprocessor requests [1][2]. Purpose and Functionality TiDB&#39;s coprocessor paging protocol traditionally splits pages based on row counts [1]. The tidb_paging_size_bytes variable introduces a byte-granular limit, allowing response volume to be bounded by bytes [1]. This is particularly useful for Resource Control (RC) workloads, as it enables more precise RU (Request Unit) pre-charging in PD (Placement Driver) by providing a byte budget to the coprocessor RPC [1][3]. Configuration and Scope - Default Value: The default value is 0, which signifies that byte-budget paging is disabled [1][4]. - Scope: The variable is both GLOBAL and SESSION scoped [1][4]. - Usage: You can modify it using the SET statement, for example: - SET GLOBAL tidb_paging_size_bytes = &lt;value&gt;; - SET SESSION tidb_paging_size_bytes = &lt;value&gt;; - SET_VAR Hint: It is allowed to be used with the SET_VAR hint for temporary modification during statement execution [1]. Important Considerations - RC Integration: The byte budget is generally effective only when Resource Control is enabled and the relevant resource group has a non-negative adjusted burst limit [1][5]. TiDB automatically resolves the effective byte budget based on the resource group&#39;s runtime state [5]. - Compatibility: This feature requires support on both the TiDB side and the TiKV side (via coprocessor.Request paging fields) [1][5]. If a request does not meet the necessary conditions (e.g., non-RC workloads or non-DAG requests), the budget is treated as 0 [1].

Allowed inside `SET_VAR` hints. - `session.GetDistSQLCtx` resolves the effective byte budget once: it keeps the session value only when Resource Control is enabled and the statement resource group has a non-negative adjusted burst limit; otherwise it forwards `0`. - The effective value flows through `DistSQLContext.PagingSizeBytes` into `kv.Request.Paging.PagingSizeBytes` via `RequestBuilder`; no extra RC state is carried in `kv.Request`. ... - In `pkg/store/copr`: - Byte-budget paging is applied only to TiKV DAG requests; `BuildCopIterator` zeroes the budget for any other request (non-TiKV or non-DAG), mirroring how `Paging.Enable` is handled, so `kv.Request.Paging.PagingSizeBytes` stays the single source of truth. - `paging_size_bytes` is propagated independently from row-count `paging_size`; it does not force-enable or rewrite row-count paging settings, and it survives row-count small-limit downgrades. - Downstream reads (the outgoing `coprocessor.Request.PagingSizeBytes`, retries, and region splits) take the budget straight off the request instead of a per-task copy, so no retry/split path can drop it. Index-lookup push down clears the budget alongside `Paging.Enable`/`Cacheable`. ... - Batch copr is disabled for byte-budget paging because paged child tasks need range-resume semantics. ... - The cop cache key uses a single paging marker byte for both row-count and byte-budget paging: a cached page is self-describing via its returned range, so the exact `paging_size`/`paging_size_bytes` values never affect cache correctness, and paging vs non-paging requests stay in separate key spaces (no collision). - Paging-specific failpoints, sorted-range checks, cache-hit range restoration, and KeepOrder response buffering treat byte-budget paging as the same paging protocol surface while keeping its budget independent from row-count paging. ... * **New Features** * Added a new session and system variable for byte-based paging limits. * Paging-related requests now carry effective byte budget settings. * TiKV coprocessor paging can now use a byte budget in addition to row-count limits. ... In `@pkg/sessionctx/variable/sysvar.go`: ... - Around line 2985-2988: The new sysvar registration for TiDBPagingSizeBytes omits the SET_VAR hint eligibility flag; update the var entry for Name: vardef.TiDBPagingSizeBytes to include IsHintUpdatableVerified: true alongside the existing Scope/Name/Value/Type/MinValue/MaxValue/SetSession fields so the variable is explicitly marked eligible for SET_VAR hint handling (keep the current SetSession closure as-is). ... .Enable = ...

For scans split across many paging RPCs, throttling reacted only after the bytes had already been read. This PR adds a per-logical-scan read-bytes EMA in the cop iterator and sends the prediction to PD as `PredictedReadBytes`, so PD can reserve tokens before dispatching the RPC. ... - New `pkg/store/copr/ema.go`: a time-aware EMA (tau=1s, `alpha = 1 - exp(-delta/tau)`) with `Observe(bytes, now)` / `Predict()`. `BuildCopIterator` seeds it with `req.Paging.PagingSizeBytes`, so byte-budget paging starts from the page-size prediction; row-count-only paging starts at 0 until the first observed page. ... - Send side: in `handleTaskOnce`, TiDB sets `tikvrpc.Request.PredictedReadBytes` for row-count paging tasks and byte-budget paging requests (`PagingSizeBytes > 0`, even when `task.paging` is false). PD/client-go gates request-side pre-charge on read coprocessor RPCs with a positive hint; if the hint is 0, the request stays settlement-only. ...

保留 SESSION | GLOBAL 作用域和 SET_VAR 支持。

TiDB 的 TiDBPagingSizeBytes 注册为 GLOBAL | SESSION 变量，并支持 SET_VAR。因此，SET SESSION 和未指定作用域的 SET 均有效。该变量虽为内部变量，但不改变这些设置契约。请恢复正确的元数据，并改写限制说明；实际分页仍受资源管控条件限制。
