What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #11279

Problem Summary:
In a multi-keyspace cluster there is no way to dedicate a TiFlash node to a single
keyspace: every TiDB sees all tiflash compute stores through GetTiFlashComputeStores,
so keyspaces share the whole TiFlash compute pool and one keyspace's workload can
starve the others.

What is changed and how it works?

A new config item flash.keyspace_name binds a TiFlash node to a keyspace:

• The value is read and validated once, in the constructor of TiFlashProxyConfig,
  before the proxy runnability check, so an invalid value fails startup even when
  raft.pd_addr is not configured. Validation follows PD's keyspace name rule
  (^[-A-Za-z0-9_]{1,20}$); an invalid value throws INVALID_CONFIG_PARAMETER.
  An unset or explicitly empty value means "not bound", keeping the node shared by
  all keyspaces — existing clusters are unaffected.
• When the proxy runs, the node reports a keyspace=<name> store label to PD through
  the proxy's --labels argument. The label is placed before the labels from
  flash.proxy.labels: the proxy keeps the first occurrence of a duplicated label key,
  so flash.keyspace_name wins over a hand-written keyspace entry there.
  Full precedence (by proxy design): [server.labels] in a custom proxy config file
  (flash.proxy.config) wins over --labels. So when flash.keyspace_name is set,
  do not also define a keyspace label in a custom proxy config file — the proxy would
  drop ours with a warning and the file's value would take effect.
• The label is consumed by client-go's GetTiFlashComputeStores (companion change,
  tikvrpc.KeyspaceLabelKey), so a TiDB only dispatches MPP tasks to nodes bound to
  its keyspace.

The label assembly was also rewritten from string concatenation to vector + fmt::join,
which fixes two pre-existing edge cases in the old code:

• Non-disagg mode + flash.proxy.labels set produced a trailing comma
  (--labels "zone=z1,"), which the proxy rejects with fatal!("invalid label"),
  i.e. the proxy could not start at all.
• An empty flash.proxy.labels value produced a valueless --labels argument.

Walkthrough

Proxy configuration now validates and stores flash.keyspace_name. When the name is nonempty, the proxy includes it in its labels alongside configured labels and the existing mode label. Tests cover validation and label assembly.

Changes: Keyspace binding

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Keyspace configuration validation dbms/src/Storages/KVStore/ProxyStateMachine.h, dbms/src/Storages/KVStore/tests/gtest_proxy_state_machine.cpp	Configuration construction validates and stores flash.keyspace_name. Tests check invalid names, including when the proxy does not start.
Proxy label assembly dbms/src/Storages/KVStore/ProxyStateMachine.h, dbms/src/Storages/KVStore/tests/gtest_proxy_state_machine.cpp	Proxy labels combine the keyspace name, configured labels, and the existing mode label. The labels argument is omitted when there are no labels. Tests cover label values, ordering, and empty or absent labels.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "kvstore: add flash.keyspace_name to bind TiFlash nodes to a keyspace" names the main change. The PR adds the flash.keyspace_name setting, which binds a TiFlash node to a keyspace through a keyspace label passed to the proxy. The title is specific and matches the changeset. It does not mention the label assembly rewrite, but that is a secondary change.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changes in ProxyStateMachine.h and gtest_proxy_state_machine.cpp relate to #11279 or support it:

• Validation helpers (getKeyspaceName, isValidKeyspaceName), the INVALID_CONFIG_PARAMETER error code declaration, and the Common/Exception.h and fmt/ranges.h includes support the new config item.
• The label assembly rewrite (vector and fmt::join) is the code path where the keyspace label is added. It also removes the trailing comma and the valueless --labels argument. Both defects fall in the same code path. The PR description states both fixes, and the tests ProxyKeyspaceLabel cover them. Without the rewrite, the keyspace label could not be combined safely with the existing labels.
• The new tests cover the new behavior and the label assembly.

No unrelated functional change was found in the diff. The --labels behavior change for non-disaggregated mode is a bug fix on the same code path, not an unrelated feature.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It states the problem (multi-keyspace TiFlash compute pool sharing, linked to issue #11279) and explains the change: the new flash.keyspace_name setting, its validation rule and error code, the keyspace label precedence over flash.proxy.labels, and the rewrite of label assembly with two fixed edge cases. The Check List marks Unit test and Manual test, and the release note is None. Some gaps remain. The Manual test box is checked, but no manual test steps are given, even though the template asks for detailed scripts or steps. The commit-message block is empty. The Side effects section does not mention the intended behavior change for clusters with a keyspace label defined in a custom proxy config. The 'Breaking backward compatibility' box is unchecked, which is reasonable, but the description also notes that a custom proxy config keyspace label is overridden, which is a user-visible behavior change that the Documentation section ('Affects user behaviors', 'Contains variable changes') does not flag. The description is mostly complete, so the check passes.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #11279 has four requirements. Three are implemented in this repository and are supported by code at the reviewed head:

1. Config item flash.keyspace_name. TiFlashProxyConfig reads it in the constructor, before tryParseFromConfig runs, so validation happens even when raft.pd_addr is unset. Covered by ProxyKeyspaceNameValidation.
2. Node reports a keyspace=<name> store label through the proxy --labels argument. The label is added in all disaggregated modes (none, storage, compute). Covered by ProxyKeyspaceLabel.
3. Unset or empty value keeps the node shared by all keyspaces. getKeyspaceName returns an empty string in both cases, and no keyspace label is added. Covered by the empty-value and no-config cases in ProxyKeyspaceLabel.
4. Startup validation follows PD's rule ^[-A-Za-z0-9_]{1,20}$. isValidKeyspaceName checks length 1 to 20 and the allowed character set. An invalid value throws INVALID_CONFIG_PARAMETER. Covered by ProxyKeyspaceNameValidation.

The issue also requires a companion client-go change: a KeyspaceLabelKey filter in GetTiFlashComputeStores, so TiDB dispatches MPP tasks only to nodes bound to its keyspace. That change is not in this repository. The PR description and the issue both name it as a companion change. This review cannot verify that filter from the reviewed head. The end-to-end behavior in the issue therefore cannot be confirmed.

Resolution

Provide the companion client-go change, or its tracking reference, that implements the KeyspaceLabelKey filter in GetTiFlashComputeStores. A reviewer needs that evidence to confirm that MPP dispatch is filtered by the keyspace label. No change to this repository is required for the TiFlash-side requirements listed above.

Looks like if there is a typo in the configure file, TiFlash itself can not detect it?

[ChangRui-Ryan]

The startup check rejects malformed values (charset/length, same rule as PD's keyspace name). Two typo classes remain undetectable by TiFlash alone:

1. A well-formed but wrong name (e.g. case mismatch): TiFlash doesn't know which keyspaces exist in the cluster. We could verify existence via PD's keyspace API at startup, but that adds a startup-order dependency (the keyspace may be created after the node starts), so I left it out — the failure is at least observable (node registered but idle, visible in PD store inspection).
2. A typo in the config item name itself (keyspace_nam ): unknown config keys are silently ignored by the config parser — a pre-existing TiFlash-wide limitation, not specific to this item.
