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 malformed expansion requests are now rejected with clear request errors instead of failing unexpectedly.
    • Empty binary JSON inputs now return an argument error, while SQL NULL continues to be handled as null.
    • Malformed JSON data with invalid or truncated lengths is rejected safely.
    • Chunk decoding now detects inconsistent column schemas, including in blocks with no rows.
    • Unsupported connections and invalid output plans are reported as errors rather than triggering runtime assertions.

Walkthrough

The changes add validation for coprocessor requests, plans, and decoded chunks; check MPP tunnel mode at runtime; and validate JSON binary payload bounds and empty inputs.

Changes: Coprocessor Request and Plan 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 types and ordering before executor IDs are assigned. Tests cover accepted and rejected lists, unsupported executors, and tree-based joins.
Expand2 projection validation
dbms/src/Flash/Coprocessor/collectOutputFieldTypes.cpp, dbms/src/Flash/Coprocessor/Plans/PhysicalExpand2.cpp, dbms/src/Flash/Coprocessor/tests/gtest_collect_output_field_types.cpp, dbms/src/Flash/tests/gtest_expand_executor.cpp
Expand2 validation rejects empty or inconsistent projections and missing generated output names. Tests cover valid execution 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
Plan optimization throws a coprocessor BadRequest when the plan stack does not contain exactly one node. Tests cover calls with and without a prior build.
Chunk header and schema validation
dbms/src/Flash/Coprocessor/ChunkDecodeAndSquash.cpp, dbms/src/Flash/Coprocessor/tests/gtest_chunk_decode_and_squash.cpp
Chunk decoding rejects empty headers and schema changes. V2 decoding reads column metadata for zero-row blocks; data decoding remains conditional on nonzero rows. Tests cover packet versions and supported compression methods.

MPP Tunnel Mode Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Async connection mode check
dbms/src/Flash/Mpp/MPPTunnel.cpp, dbms/src/Flash/Mpp/tests/gtest_mpptunnel.cpp
connectAsync checks for async gRPC mode at runtime. Tests verify that incompatible tunnel types remain unconnected after the call throws, then test their respective connection methods.

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 subreferences use overflow-safe bounds checks. String and opaque payload lengths are checked before subreferences are formed. Tests cover valid, truncated, and oversized payload lengths.
Empty binary JSON function inputs
dbms/src/Functions/FunctionsJson.h, dbms/src/Functions/tests/gtest_json_binary_input.cpp
JSON functions reject zero-length binary input with BAD_ARGUMENTS. Tests cover empty inputs, valid empty-string encodings, nullable values, and SQL NULL.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within the stated goal of validating execution requests and data. They validate plan roots, DAG executor lists, Expand2 projections, async tunnel use, decoded chunk schemas, and JSON inputs and lengths. The added tests cover these validation cases. No unrelated change is evident.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 6.90% 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 29 functions across 16 files.

Resolution

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

A rabbit checks each byte with care,
And tests the plans from root to leaf.
A tunnel waits for the right mode,
JSON lengths must fit their load.
The fields line up; the paths are clear,
Then hops away with notes to cheer.

210-212: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

The test skips the zero-row V1/V2 path that the decoder change targets.

The decoder change reads column metadata for zero-row blocks in the V2 loop. This test excludes zero-row V1/V2 chunks, so the new zero-row behavior has no coverage here. Add a hand-built zero-row V2 payload, or document which producer makes this path unreachable.

210 - 212:
The test skips zero-row V1/V2 chunks, leaving the decoder’s zero-row V2 metadata
path untested. Update the test around the version check to cover a hand-built
zero-row V2 payload and assert the decoder’s expected behavior; if that path is
unreachable, establish and document the producer constraint instead.

66-124: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Split this test into smaller tests to follow the "one assert per test" practice.

Expand2ProjectionValidation runs one valid-path assertion and six invalid cases in two pipeline modes. A failure is harder to isolate. SCOPED_TRACE partly mitigates this. Consider a parameterized test over the cases and pipeline modes.

Based on learnings: docs/DEVELOPMENT.md states "One assert per test."

Split Expand2ProjectionValidation into focused tests so each test covers one
validation case and pipeline mode, using parameterization if it keeps the cases
concise. Preserve the valid-path check, all six malformed projection cases, and
the existing BadRequest expectation.
