This is an automated cherry-pick of #12437

What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #12436

What is changed and how it works?

In the previous implementation, the error of writer.Close was not handled, and some DMLs may upload failed.
This error should block the advance and cause the changefeed to finally restart.

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 a bug that may cause DML loss while failing to close the writer of the storage sink

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 resolves a potential data loss scenario within the TiCDC cloud storage sink. Previously, a failure to properly close the data writer would not propagate its error, leading to DMLs being considered successfully uploaded when they were not. The changes ensure that such critical errors are caught and handled, preventing data loss and maintaining the integrity of the changefeed by forcing a restart upon writer closure failure.

Highlights

  • Data Loss Prevention: Addressed a critical bug where DMLs (Data Manipulation Language operations) could be lost if the writer.Close operation failed in the cloud storage sink, as the error was not properly handled.
  • Error Handling Improvement: Modified the writeDataFile function to explicitly check and return errors from writer.Close, ensuring that any failure in closing the writer blocks further progress and triggers a changefeed restart, thus preventing data inconsistencies.

Code Review

This pull request aims to fix a potential data loss bug by properly handling errors from writer.Close. The logical change is correct and addresses the issue. However, the current implementation includes git conflict markers and references to undefined variables (start and metricFlushDuration), which will prevent the code from compiling. I've provided a critical review comment with a code suggestion to clean up the code and fix these issues while retaining the important bug fix.

This block of code contains git conflict markers (<<<<<<<, =======, >>>>>>>) which will cause a compilation failure. Additionally, it references an undefined variable start and an undefined field d.metricFlushDuration, which are also compilation errors.

The core logic to handle the error from writer.Close() is correct, but these issues must be resolved. The suggested code below removes the conflict markers and the problematic metric observation, leaving only the necessary bug fix.

                if _, inErr = writer.Write(ctx, buf.Bytes()); inErr != nil {
                        return 0, 0, inErr
                }

                // We have to wait for the writer to close to complete the upload.
                // If it fails to close, some DMLs may not be uploaded successfully.
                if inErr = writer.Close(ctx); inErr != nil {
                        log.Error("failed to close writer", zap.Error(inErr),
                                zap.Int("workerID", d.id),
                                zap.Any("table", task.tableInfo.TableName),
                                zap.String("namespace", d.changeFeedID.Namespace),
                                zap.String("changefeed", d.changeFeedID.ID))
                        return 0, 0, inErr
                }
