What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: ref #11180

QueryRegion batches can contain queries from client wrappers with different caller components. A single batch header loses per-query attribution, and counting one QueryRegion observation per batch also loses the logical method and undercounts request volume.

What is changed and how does it work?

Carry each wrapper's caller component through its router request. Keep
mixed requests in one batch and encode components alongside keys,
previous keys, and IDs. Homogeneous batches use the shared header.

In both PD and the router service, count logical queries under GetRegion,
GetPrevRegion, or GetRegionByID with their own caller components. Preserve
1% success sampling and full header-error counts, including early errors.
Absent or malformed component arrays fall back to the batch header.

Use a version-specific kvproto replace in the root, client, integrations, and tools modules, pinned to JmPotato/kvproto@fa85d261fe47 from pingcap/kvproto#1542. That dependency also adds WatchGCStates to the generated PD interface; an explicit Unimplemented handler preserves the server's current capabilities.

Check List

Tests

  • Unit test: mixed components and query kinds, result and bucket mapping, pooled requests, errors, and exact logical metric counts; client race/deadlock checks.
  • Integration test: router enabled/disabled and header-error suites, including exact metric deltas for a mixed batch rejected before region lookup.
  • Manual test: three separate PD/etcd processes on localhost, each with GOMAXPROCS=4. Bootstrap and heartbeat 1,024 synthetic Regions; use one shared client with 128 workers issuing mixed GetRegion/GetPrevRegion/GetRegionByID calls through 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 component wrappers. Warm up with 4,096 calls, then measure 1,048,576 calls per trial. Run three repeats with randomized component-count order and alternating baseline/candidate order. All 50,331,648 measured results passed, and server metric deltas retained every expected method/component combination. At 128 components, median throughput was 479,450 queries/s versus 476,128 for the baseline; P99 was 0.594 ms versus 0.599 ms, with about 106 queries per batch. This validates the PD path with synthetic metadata, not a full TiKV/SQL workload.
  • Manual test: the actual replacement dependency preserves Unimplemented for WatchGCStates. Earlier mixed-version testing also verified new client/old server query results; per-query attribution requires the upgraded server.

With GOWORK=off, make check SUBMODULES='client tests/integrations tools', affected server basic tests, client tests, client race checks, and the integration suites passed. Client TestWithTargetURL is excluded from the full client run because occupied local port 80 causes EOF instead of the expected connection refusal; this failure was independently reproduced on the pristine baseline.

Side effects

  • The region request counter now reports logical methods and logical request samples. Its type and label names remain unchanged. Generic gRPC metrics continue to describe streams/messages.
  • Mixed batches carry additional component metadata. Across the tested component counts, median throughput changes ranged from -2.6% to +0.8% relative to paired baselines, without degradation growing with component count.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The client now propagates caller components through router-backed region queries. Mixed batches carry per-query caller metadata. QueryRegion metrics record each logical query. Tests cover attribution, failures, metrics, RPC compatibility, and dependency replacements.

Context propagation and router request metadata

Contexts store caller components. Router requests capture them, and router-backed region methods attach client components.

Homogeneous batches use the header component. Mixed batches use per-query component arrays. One send/receive flow handles success and errors.

RPC compatibility and validation
server/gc_service.go, client/*_test.go, pkg/utils/grpcutil/metrics_test.go, tests/integrations/*, go.mod, */go.mod
The server adds an unimplemented WatchGCStates method. Tests validate attribution, failures, metrics, and request reuse. Module replacements select the kvproto fork.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f4f40

Unbounded caller labels can consume server resources, while rolling version skew produces incorrect caller attribution. Address both before merging.

🟡 Minor · Restore per-component batching for older PD servers. · client.go:743-792

client/clients/router/client.go:743-792
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restore per-component batching for older PD servers.

Mixed batches leave Header.CallerComponent empty and send attribution only in fields 6–8. Older QueryRegionRequest definitions do not contain these fields, so older servers skip them and record the batch with the empty header component, normalized to unknown. This loses caller attribution during version skew.

Restore the previous per-component split in processRequestsInner before calling buildQueryRegionRequest. A header fallback alone cannot preserve distinct components in one mixed batch.

Bound caller_component values before recording QueryRegion metrics. Both QueryRegion handlers accept per-item component strings from clients. Matching values become caller_component labels in RequestCounter, which can create unbounded CounterVec series. Rate limiting and transport authentication do not bound the label values. Normalize components to a fixed allowlist with an "unknown" fallback in the shared metrics helper.
