What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: ref #11256

The existing Max RU groups reported consumption by PD arrival time. A report can combine multiple accounting seconds, while read and write maxima can come from different seconds. It therefore cannot show a resource group's busiest natural second across clients.

This is the resource manager half of the feature. The client half, which records and reports per-second RU, is #11304; the two can be reviewed and merged in either order because Consumption.ru_by_second is optional.

What is changed and how does it work?

Clients can report RRU and WRU per UTC second in Consumption.ru_by_second.
Merge the seconds reported by every source of a resource group and publish
the busiest second of each completed minute as minute-end-timestamped
gauges, with its RRU/WRU components and a coverage signal. Minutes with
missing, conflicting or invalid seconds are withheld rather than published
as lower values.

A source that stops reporting expires after 180 seconds and withholds only
the minutes overlapping its unreported tail. A new term applies the same
rule to sources it has not heard from yet. Retained sources are capped, and
a source over the cap withholds its group's minutes until it would have
expired. The resource manager clock only schedules minutes, so a server
clock step delays or withholds them but never changes published ones.
Metrics flushers are serialized across leadership terms, and the timeline is
cleared when a term ends.

Design points not evident from the diff:

  • Sources. A source is a client ID plus the background/TiFlash request kind. Equal overlapping seconds are idempotent; a conflicting value withholds the minute, and so does a source present in the minute that lacks any of its seconds. A token request without the field withholds the recent minutes. A new source's first report withholds the unpublished minutes before its first second, because its earlier seconds may have been trimmed; a client restarting with a new ID therefore withholds at most one minute beyond those overlapping its old source's unreported tail. Seconds up to 5 seconds ahead of the resource manager clock are accepted, and seconds must arrive within the 30-second publication delay, which covers both the report interval and any lag of the client clock.
  • Publication. A minute is published 30 seconds after it ends, with the minute end as the sample timestamp, and is never rewritten. Scrapes only read published results. A new leader or a restarted resource manager knows only the sources that have reported to it, so it withholds minutes until any source silent since its term began would have expired, about three to four minutes, and it does not backfill published minutes.
  • Source expiry. A client restarting with a new ID leaves an old source that expires 180 seconds after its last report; only the minutes overlapping its unreported tail are withheld, and later minutes are judged by the remaining sources. A group is removed when its last source expires.
  • Metrics. resource_manager_resource_unit_peak_{per_second,rru_per_second,wru_per_second,second_timestamp_seconds,available} use the existing keyspace_name and resource_group labels; peak_quality_events_total{reason} counts missing and invalid payloads, conflicts, late seconds and capacity overflows.
  • Limitations. A client unable to report for more than 180 seconds is indistinguishable from one that left: minutes after its source expires are judged without it. TiFlash consumption arrives as untimed aggregates, which quarantine the reporting client's timeline (client: report per-second RU timelines on token requests #11304), so groups with continuous TiFlash traffic stay unavailable. Peaks across hosts are only as aligned as their clocks, so clock synchronization remains a deployment prerequisite.

Dependency / merge gate: depends on pingcap/kvproto#1539. This PR pins that PR's immutable fork revision with the replacement pattern already documented in go.mod, and answers the WatchGCStates RPC added by that revision as unimplemented. Both go away with the official kvproto update, which lands separately before merge. TiDB follow-up: pingcap/tidb#71408.

Check List

Tests

  • Unit test
  • Manual test: a NextGen cluster (PD, TiKV, three TiDB instances, Prometheus) on one host, plus standalone PD scale runs.
    • Every published peak, peak second and RRU/WRU component matched a ledger rebuilt from the TiDB controller trace logs; TiDB slow-log RU per statement and the legacy RU counters agreed with the same ledger.
    • TiDB graceful restart with a new server ID, SIGKILL, resource group deletion and PD restart: departed sources expired 182–190 s after their last report, affected minutes were withheld, later minutes recovered without intervention, and published history was unchanged.
    • A 900-second lifecycle run with two PD servers and real client controllers covered restart with a new ID, crash, deletion under load and recreation, load stop/start with idle controller recycling, and a leader transfer: every available minute matched a per-second ledger exactly, no published minute was rewritten, and no conflict, invalid, missing or late second was counted. After the leader transfer, minutes resumed once any source silent since the new term began would have expired.

Side effects

  • Increased code complexity
  • Possible performance regression: with 4,000 active groups reported by two clients, PD heap grew by about 65 MiB, bounded by the source cap (about 43 MiB of per-source buffers at the cap), and the flush loop spends about 4 ms per second.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The resource manager now carries client identity in consumption reports and publishes aggregated RU timeline summaries. The change also redirects kvproto dependencies to a fork and adds a WatchGCStates gRPC method that returns an unimplemented error.

Changes

Resource manager RU timeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Carry client identity into consumption dispatch
pkg/mcs/resourcemanager/server/grpc_service.go, pkg/mcs/resourcemanager/server/keyspace_manager.go, pkg/mcs/resourcemanager/server/manager.go, pkg/mcs/resourcemanager/server/manager_test.go
The gRPC service passes the request's client ID to dispatchConsumption. The manager stores that ID in the dispatched consumption item. Tests check that the ID is propagated.
Ingest and summarize RU timeline reports
pkg/mcs/resourcemanager/server/ru_timeline.go, pkg/mcs/resourcemanager/server/ru_timeline_test.go
The timeline validates reports, aggregates per-second RU values into 60-second windows, and publishes timestamped summaries through a Prometheus collector. Tests cover merged sources, unavailable windows, clock skew and steps, resets, retention, and source expiry.
Wire timeline into metrics and leadership lifecycle
pkg/mcs/resourcemanager/server/metrics.go, pkg/mcs/resourcemanager/server/manager.go, pkg/mcs/resourcemanager/server/metrics_test.go
Metrics recording adds reports to the timeline. The manager flushes it on metrics ticks and resets it when the background metrics loop exits. Tests check timeline recording alongside existing counter metrics.

GC state watch API

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add the GC state watch stub
server/gc_service.go
The server adds WatchGCStates, which returns codes.Unimplemented with the message "WatchGCStates is not supported yet".

kvproto module replacement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Redirect kvproto module resolution
go.mod, client/go.mod, tools/go.mod, tests/integrations/go.mod
The module files replace the pinned github.com/pingcap/kvproto version with github.com/JmPotato/kvproto at the specified version.

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

Clients can report RRU and WRU per UTC second in
Consumption.ru_by_second. Merge the seconds reported by every source of a
resource group and publish the busiest second of each completed minute
as minute-end-timestamped gauges, with its RRU/WRU components and a
coverage signal. Minutes with missing, conflicting or invalid seconds are
withheld rather than published as lower values.

A source that stops reporting expires after 180 seconds and withholds
only the minutes overlapping its unreported tail. Source and group counts
are capped, and an overflow withholds only the affected group. Metrics
flushers are serialized across leadership terms, and the timeline is
cleared when a term ends.

The kvproto replacement is temporary until pingcap/kvproto#1539 is
merged; that revision also adds WatchGCStates, answered as unimplemented.

Use lowercase text in the unsupported status message.

The returned message starts with WatchGCStates. Use watch GC states is not supported yet to follow the project error-string convention while keeping the GC acronym uppercase.

As per coding guidelines: “Wrap error strings in lowercase with no trailing punctuation.”

Source: Coding guidelines

A new source's first report may lack its earliest seconds, for example
after a client trims its backlog, so withhold the unpublished minutes
before its first second instead of summarizing them without it.

Accept seconds from a client clock that runs up to five seconds ahead of
the resource manager, so that small cross-host skew no longer rejects
every report, and count reports without per-second data as
missing_payload rather than invalid_payload.

Signed-off-by: JmPotato <github@ipotato.me>
A source rejected by the source limit keeps no state, so it neither
withholds its unreported tail nor expires like an admitted source. Withhold
every window it may still be consuming in until an admitted source would
have expired, instead of only the windows it may replay.

Signed-off-by: JmPotato <github@ipotato.me>
Only existing resource groups reach the RU timeline, and every retained group
holds at least one source, so the source limit already bounds its memory.
The separate group limit only duplicated that bound.

Signed-off-by: JmPotato <github@ipotato.me>
Published values come from client seconds; the resource manager clock only
decides when a window is summarized. A backward step pauses publication and
rejects the seconds that now look early, and a forward step withholds the
windows whose seconds have not arrived yet, while each group's windows keep
moving forward.

Resetting the timeline on a discontinuity protected nothing, and after a
backward step it republished minutes that had already been published. Drop
it, together with the clock quality event, and start the invalidation of a
new source's earlier windows at the earliest second it could replay, so a
large forward step cannot make it walk every window since the last flush.

Signed-off-by: JmPotato <github@ipotato.me>
A new leader or a restarted resource manager only knows the sources that
have reported to it. A client that is slow to reconnect is unknown, so the
first windows could be published as available without its seconds, while
the previous term would have withheld them until that source expired.
Withhold windows until any source silent since the term began would have
expired, applying the same 180-second rule across terms.

Reject negative RU buckets before aggregation.

If a report contains a negative Rru or Wru, the finite-value check accepts it. The negative value can reduce the aggregated peak, which publication does not later rewrite. Reject negative bucket values and mark the affected window unavailable.

Remove the timeline entry after successful group deletion.

DeleteResourceGroup does not remove the matching ruTimeline entry or its published result. A recreated group with the same trackerKey reuses the existing sources, buckets, coverage state, and nextWindow. Prometheus can also emit the old published result before the new group reports. Route deletion cleanup through the background-owned timeline operation.

The stale series is bounded: after all sources stop reporting, flush removes them after more than 180 seconds of inactivity and then deletes the published result. Continued reports can extend that lifetime.
