Backport 1/1 commits from #90670 on behalf of @fqazi.

/cc @cockroachdb/release


Fixes: #90570

Previously, the mutation state were not properly propagated for virtual columns, so during active schema changes certain queries could potentially fail. This was inadequate specifically when problematic if we had cascaded drop columns, where a virtual column could be dropped as a side effect. It was possible for "SELECT *" to fail in certain scenarios. To address this, this patch will propogate the mutation state for virtual computed columns.

Release note (bug fix): SELECT * operations on tables with virtual computed columns under going schema changes could potentially fail.


Release justification: low risk fix that addresses query errors during schema changes.

Thanks for opening a backport.

Please check the backport criteria before merging:

  • Patches should only be created for serious issues or test-only changes.
  • Patches should not break backwards-compatibility.
  • Patches should change as little code as possible.
  • Patches should not change on-disk formats or node communication protocols.
  • Patches should not add new functionality.
  • Patches must not add, edit, or otherwise modify cluster versions; or add version gates.
If some of the basic criteria cannot be satisfied, ensure that the exceptional criteria are satisfied within.
  • There is a high priority need for the functionality that cannot wait until the next release and is difficult to address in another way.
  • The new functionality is additive-only and only runs for clusters which have specifically “opted in” to it (e.g. by a cluster setting).
  • New code is protected by a conditional check that is trivial to verify and ensures that it only runs for opt-in clusters.
  • The PM and TL on the team that owns the changed code have signed off that the change obeys the above rules.

Add a brief release justification to the body of your PR to justify this backport.

Some other things to consider:

  • What did we do to ensure that a user that doesn’t know & care about this backport, has no idea that it happened?
  • Will this work in a cluster of mixed patch versions? Did we test that?
  • If a user upgrades a patch version, uses this feature, and then downgrades, what happens?

Fixes: #90570

Previously, the mutation state was not properly propagated
for virtual columns, so during active schema changes certain
queries could potentially fail. This was inadequate when
a cascaded drop columns occurred for any column with a virtual column
dependent, since during a "SELECT *" the optimizer would treat the
virtual column as readable (even though the dependents for it were
not accessible).  To address this, this patch will propagate the
mutation state for virtual computed columns.

Release note (bug fix): SELECT * operations on tables with virtual
computed columns undergoing schema changes could potentially
fail.
