This is an automated cherry-pick of #11283

What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #11282

Problem Summary: Some execution requests and data are not consistently validated.

What is changed and how it works?

Validate plan metadata, exchange inputs, and JSON data before use, and add regression coverage.

Check List

Tests

  • Unit test
  • Integration test
  • Manual test (add detailed scripts or steps below)
  • No code

Related plan, MPP, decoder, and JSON unit tests passed.

Side effects

  • Performance regression: Consumes more CPU
  • Performance regression: Consumes more Memory
  • Breaking backward compatibility

Documentation

  • Affects user behaviors
  • Contains syntax changes
  • Contains variable changes
  • Contains experimental features
  • Changes MySQL compatibility

Release note

Improve validation of execution requests and data.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Invalid query plans and executor sequences now return clear request errors instead of relying on assertions or proceeding with unsupported configurations.
    • Expand operations now report errors for empty or inconsistent projections and insufficient generated output names.
    • JSON functions now return a defined error for empty binary JSON input while preserving SQL NULL behavior.
    • JSON binary values with truncated or oversized payloads are rejected safely.
    • Chunk decoding now rejects empty headers and incompatible schemas; invalid tunnel connections leave the tunnel available for a valid connection.

Walkthrough

The changes add input validation across DAG requests, physical plans, chunk decoding, MPP tunnel connections, and JSON binary processing. Tests cover accepted inputs, rejected inputs, and specified error behavior across these paths.

Changes: DAG and Planner Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
DAG executor list validation
dbms/src/Flash/Coprocessor/DAGRequest.cpp, dbms/src/Flash/Coprocessor/tests/gtest_dag_request.cpp
List-based requests validate executor order and type before checking or assigning IDs. Tests cover valid lists, invalid sequences, unsupported executors, and tree-based joins.
Expand2 projection validation
dbms/src/Flash/Coprocessor/collectOutputFieldTypes.cpp, dbms/src/Flash/Planner/Plans/PhysicalExpand2.cpp, dbms/src/Flash/Coprocessor/tests/gtest_collect_output_field_types.cpp, dbms/src/Flash/tests/gtest_expand_executor.cpp
Expand2 field collection and planning reject empty or inconsistent projections and insufficient generated names. Tests cover field collection and malformed requests in both pipeline modes.
Physical plan root-count validation
dbms/src/Flash/Planner/PhysicalPlan.cpp, dbms/src/Flash/Planner/tests/gtest_physical_plan.cpp
Physical plan output throws a coprocessor bad-request error when the plan has other than one node. Tests check the error before and after building the plan.

Chunk Decode Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Chunk header and schema checks
dbms/src/Flash/Coprocessor/ChunkDecodeAndSquash.cpp, dbms/src/Flash/Coprocessor/tests/gtest_chunk_decode_and_squash.cpp
The decoder rejects empty headers and reads metadata for zero-row chunks. Tests cover missing or extra columns and changed column types across packet versions and applicable compression methods.

MPP Tunnel Connection Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Asynchronous connection mode check
dbms/src/Flash/Mpp/MPPTunnel.cpp, dbms/src/Flash/Mpp/tests/gtest_mpptunnel.cpp
connectAsync uses a runtime check for ASYNC_GRPC. Tests verify rejected calls do not change tunnel state and valid connections still deliver packets.

JSON Binary Input Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
JSON binary payload bounds
dbms/src/TiDB/Decode/JsonBinary.cpp, dbms/src/TiDB/tests/gtest_json_binary.cpp
JSON binary decoding checks string and opaque payload lengths against the remaining buffer. Tests cover valid payloads, truncated values, and oversized lengths.
Empty input checks in JSON functions
dbms/src/Functions/FunctionsJson.h, dbms/src/Functions/tests/gtest_json_binary_input.cpp
Four JSON functions throw BAD_ARGUMENTS for empty binary input. Tests also check valid empty-JSON values, nullable inputs, and constant columns.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Malformed Expand requests are not rejected as intended and can cause out-of-bounds access. The newly added tests would fail. Fix the validation in collectForExpand before merging.

Explanation

Issue #11282 is closed, so it supplies historical context only. No active directly linked issue adds coding requirements. The reported validation changes and regression tests do not need to satisfy #11282 as an active target.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes in the PR summary address validation of plan structure and metadata, exchange inputs, decoder schema and JSON data. The added tests cover these cases. The MPPTunnel check and tests also validate connection mode and failure behavior. No unrelated change is evident.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 9.38% 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 32 functions across 16 files.

Resolution

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

Fix the bounds check in collectForExpand.

The || condition accepts out-of-range indices. The following access has undefined behavior, so the new ExpandColumnIndexBounds test can fail or terminate instead of receiving an exception.

Reject non-column grouping expressions.

An Int64 grouping expression that encodes index zero reaches collectForExpand and returns without throwing. The new ExpandGroupingExpressionType test therefore fails. Check the expression type before decoding it.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Replace the assert with the explicit check that already exists.

The assert(!expand.proj_exprs().empty()) at line 108 is redundant now that lines 41-42 throw for an empty list. Remove it. The assert on line 39 is also outside the new validation path.

The encoding test depends on a length check that does not exist.

decodeDAGInt64 reads a UInt64 from s.data() and does not check s.size(). For lengths 0, 1 and 7, it reads past the string end. For length 9, the first 8 bytes decode to index 0, which is valid for two columns. No throw occurs for length 9, so the test fails. Add a length check in the decoder or in collectForExpand. Use memcpy instead of the reinterpret_cast read.
