Description

This PR moves the transaction isolation system variables (transaction_isolation or set transaction isolation level) from vitess aware to reserved connection.
Earlier it used to only work with transactions. With this change, support will be added for read queries.

Hello reviewers! 👋 Please follow this checklist when reviewing this Pull Request.

General

  • Ensure that the Pull Request has a descriptive title.
  • If this is a change that users need to know about, please apply the release notes (needs details) label so that merging is blocked unless the summary release notes document is included.
  • If a test is added or modified, there should be a documentation on top of the test to explain what the expected behavior is what the test does.

If a new flag is being introduced:

  • Is it really necessary to add this flag?
  • Flag names should be clear and intuitive (as far as possible)
  • Help text should be descriptive.
  • Flag names should use dashes (-) as word separators rather than underscores (_).

If a workflow is added or modified:

  • If the workflow should be required, the maintainer team should be notified.

Bug fixes

  • There should be at least one unit or end-to-end test.
  • The Pull Request description should include a link to an issue that describes the bug.

Non-trivial changes

  • There should be some code comments as to why things are implemented the way they are.

New/Existing features

  • Should be documented, either by modifying the existing documentation or creating new documentation.
  • New features should have a link to a feature request issue or an RFC that documents the use cases, corner cases and test cases.

Backward compatibility

  • Protobuf changes should be wire-compatible.
  • Changes to _vt tables and RPCs need to be backward compatible.
  • vtctl command output order should be stable and awk-able.
  • RPC changes should be compatible with vitess-operator
  • If a flag is removed, then it should also be removed from VTop, if used there.

Everything else looks good, but isn't this like a breaking change? Previously setting the transaction isolation would only apply to the next query, but now it applies to the session, if I understand correctly. Shouldn't this be added to the release notes?

TLDR; previously it was broken.

@@ without any scope represents session scope. Only for the case of transaction_isolation it means the next transaction. This gets applied only once.
With the implementation of settings pool these settings will not be applied again and the connection will be reused, which means the next query the connection will see, will have the session level isolation level and not the next transaction isolation level.
So, the user expectation will turn out to be wrong.

The RFC already states that the next transaction isolation statements will be converted to the session level setting.

Now the other part of it, If the user would have set the transaction_isolation at the session level. This will get only applied for the next transaction in case of reserved connection.

One small suggestion, rest LGTM


// setting to different value.
utils.Exec(t, conn, "set @@transaction_isolation = 'read-committed'")
utils.AssertMatches(t, conn, "select @@transaction_isolation", `[[VARCHAR("READ-COMMITTED")]]`)
utils.AssertMatches(t, conn, "select @@transaction_isolation", `[[VARCHAR("read-committed")]]`)

Why are some values uppercase and some lowercase?
Line 437 - REPEATABLE-READ. But everything else is lowercase.

Looks like it may be an artifact of how the test input is provided. To avoid confusion, my suggestion is to make them all uniform.

I will raise a separate PR to handle it.
