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 addresses a critical data integrity issue within the TiCDC cloud storage sink. By modifying the error handling logic for closing data writers, it ensures that any failure during the finalization of data uploads is properly detected and acted upon. This prevents scenarios where DMLs might be silently lost, promoting robust and reliable data replication.

Highlights

  • Data Loss Prevention: Fixed a bug where a failed writer.Close operation in the cloud storage DML sink could lead to unhandled errors and potential data loss. The system now explicitly checks the return of writer.Close and propagates the error, ensuring data integrity.

Code Review

This pull request fixes a potential data loss bug where an error from writer.Close was ignored. The change correctly propagates the error from writer.Close on a successful write. However, the change introduces a potential resource leak by not closing the writer if writer.Write fails. I've added a comment with a suggestion to fix this.

high

While this change correctly handles the error from writer.Close() on the success path, it introduces a potential resource leak. If writer.Write() on line 281 fails, the function returns without closing the writer. The storage.Writer is an io.WriteCloser and must be closed to release underlying resources (like file descriptors or incomplete multipart uploads on S3). Failure to do so can lead to resource exhaustion.

The writer should be closed even when Write fails. The error from Close in this case should be logged, but the original error from Write should be returned.

Suggested change
return 0, 0, inErr
if closeErr := writer.Close(ctx); closeErr != nil {
log.Warn("failed to close writer after write error", zap.Error(closeErr), zap.Int("workerID", d.id), zap.Any("table", task.tableInfo.TableName))
}
return 0, 0, inErr
