What problem does this PR solve?

SPFresh search responses currently expose only legacy aggregate statistics.
TiDB cannot render detailed ANN execution stages in EXPLAIN ANALYZE or
distinguish an absent report from an explicitly reported all-zero result.

What is changed and how it works?

  • Add optional SPFreshSearchStats.ann as field 16.
  • Add SPFreshANNStats for:
    • search duration and scanned objects
    • candidate pruning and exact evaluation
    • partition-cache hits, misses and durations
    • table lookup and rerank durations
  • Keep all existing SPFreshSearchStats field numbers unchanged.
  • Regenerate the Go protobuf binding.
  • Add wire round-trip, presence and field-number compatibility tests.
  • Update proto.lock.

The nested message provides presence semantics:

  • absent ann: legacy producer
  • present empty ann: producer explicitly reported all-zero statistics

All duration fields use unsigned microseconds.

proto.lock also catches up the existing ExplainForConnection schema
that was already present in the protobuf source but missing from the lock.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The protobuf schema adds optional ANN statistics to SPFreshSearchStats. Tests verify absent, empty, and populated values, high-bit uint64 values, field presence, and assigned protobuf field numbers.

Changes

SPFresh ANN statistics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define the ANN statistics contract
proto/spfresh.proto
SPFreshSearchStats now includes optional ann field number 16. SPFreshANNStats defines fallback, search, scan, candidate, cache, lookup, and reranking metrics.
Validate ANN wire encoding
go-tipb/spfresh_test.go
Tests use golang/protobuf/proto to verify ANN statistics round trips and confirm field names and numbers.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to afa63

The change is mergeable with owner awareness, but the compatibility tests do not verify the assigned field numbers inside the new ANN statistics message; an accidental renumbering could make future protobuf data incompatible.

Suggested reviewers: tangenta

Poem

A rabbit checks each field in line,
While ANN stats cross the wire just fine.
Empty, full, and absent too,
High bits keep their values true.
“Hop!” says Bun. “The schema’s sound!”

Pin the SPFreshANNStats field numbers.

This test pins only the outer SPFreshSearchStats fields. It does not pin fields 1 through 15 of SPFreshANNStats.

A round trip cannot detect an inner-field renumber because the regenerated encoder and decoder will agree. Add an equivalent descriptor test for every SPFreshANNStats field.
