This is an automated cherry-pick of #12254

What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #12241

What is changed and how it works?

Since column values don't include virtual generated columns, we also filter the virtual generated columns in the column dispatcher.
The column dispatcher now explicitly checks for and prevents the use of virtual generated columns, returning an ErrDispatcherFailed error if such columns are specified. This prevents potential panics when configuring the dispatcher.

Check List

Tests

  • Unit test
  • Integration test

Questions

Will it cause performance regression or break compatibility?
Do you need to update user documentation, design documentation or monitoring documentation?

Release note

Fix panic when configuring the column dispatcher with virtual columns.

Summary of Changes

Hello @ti-chi-bot, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a critical issue where using virtual generated columns in the column dispatcher could lead to panics. It introduces robust validation to prevent such configurations and expands the dispatching capabilities by allowing events to be routed based on specific columns, ensuring data integrity and system stability.

Highlights

  • Panic Prevention: Prevented panics in the column dispatcher by explicitly checking for and rejecting virtual generated columns, returning an ErrDispatcherFailed error if such columns are specified.
  • New Dispatcher Capability: Introduced a new ColumnsDispatcher for message queue sinks, allowing event dispatching based on user-defined columns.
  • Table Information Enhancement: Enhanced the TableInfo model with new methods for retrieving column offsets by name and improved index information access, crucial for robust column-based dispatching.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a check for virtual columns in the column dispatcher to prevent a panic. While the core logic for identifying virtual columns is sound, the pull request appears to be an incomplete or conflicted cherry-pick. There are multiple merge conflicts across several files that will prevent the code from compiling. Additionally, there's a critical interface mismatch with the new ColumnsDispatcher and a performance issue in the OffsetsByNames function. These issues need to be addressed before this PR can be merged.

The signature of DispatchRowChangedEvent (int32, string, error) does not match the partition.Dispatcher interface, which, based on the provided context files, expects a signature of (row *model.RowChangedEvent, partitionNum int32) int32. This will cause a compilation error as ColumnsDispatcher will not correctly implement the interface. The Dispatcher interface and all its implementations should be updated consistently to handle error propagation and the additional string return value, or this implementation must be changed to match the existing interface.

The // todo: optimize it comment is valid. This function is called on the hot path for event dispatching, and it currently rebuilds columnOffsets and virtualGeneratedColumn maps on every call. This is inefficient.

For better performance, these maps should be pre-computed and cached in the TableInfo struct when it's initialized in WrapTableInfo. This would avoid repeated computations and significantly improve performance, especially for tables with many columns.
