What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #12820

For fresh all mode tasks whose dump directory is object storage, DM skips loading Dumpling schema files into the syncer's schema tracker. The first row event can then be interpreted with the downstream physical column order instead of the upstream snapshot order.

What is changed and how it works?

  • Reuse the injected external storage, or create one storage client from data-dir, when discovering and reading dump schemas.
  • Remove the non-local-directory skip.
  • Read table schema files concurrently with Lightning's existing order-preserving mydump.ParallelProcess, bounded by the loader pool size and a maximum concurrency of 16, then update the schema tracker sequentially.
  • Reuse the injected storage when cleaning dump files.
  • Extend the S3 integration case with a pre-created downstream table whose physical column order differs from upstream.

Check List

Tests

  • Unit test
    • go test -race ./dm/syncer -run '^TestLoadTableStructureFromExternalStorage$' -count=1
  • Integration test
    • make dm_integration_test_build
    • dm/tests/run.sh s3_dumpling_lightning

Questions

Will it cause performance regression or break compatibility?

No compatibility break. Local dump directories keep the same behavior. Object-storage tasks now list and read schema files instead of skipping them; reads are concurrent and capped at 16 to bound object-storage load.

Do you need to update user documentation, design documentation or monitoring documentation?

No. This fixes internal schema-tracker initialization and does not add or change user-facing configuration.

Release note

DM now initializes the syncer's schema tracker from Dumpling schema files stored in object storage.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for loading table structures from external dump storage, including S3-compatible locations.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved synchronization for schemas and data stored outside the local filesystem.
    • Ensured row data follows the source dump schema when downstream column order differs.
    • Improved propagation of schema-file read errors during synchronization.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for external storage, read failures, and downstream schema compatibility.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The syncer now loads Dumpling schema files from external storage, reads them with bounded concurrency, and passes external storage to cleanup. Tests cover external loading, read errors, data-file exclusion, and column-order correctness during S3 replication.

Changes

Remote dump schema loading

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dump storage resolution
dm/syncer/syncer.go
loadTableStructureFromDump uses configured external storage or creates storage from LoaderConfig.Dir. Dump cleanup also receives ExtStorage.
Bounded schema processing
dm/syncer/syncer.go
The syncer reads schema files through one mydump.ParallelProcess call with concurrency capped at 16, then processes results in file order.
External storage validation
dm/syncer/syncer_test.go, dm/tests/s3_dumpling_lightning/*
Tests verify external schema loading, read-error propagation, data-file exclusion, downstream preparation, and source-column mapping.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 9ebd0

The change initializes the syncer schema tracker from remote dump schemas, preventing column-order mismatches during replication. No current merge-blocking risk remains.

Poem

A rabbit reads schemas from the cloud,
Parallel files hop through the crowd,
Errors return with names intact,
Source columns keep their proper track,
Replicated rows land as mapped.
