Summary of Changes

Hello @ti-chi-bot, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request updates the documentation for TiDB system variables, specifically adding and refining descriptions for various optimizer cost factors. This ensures that the documentation accurately reflects the internal cost model variables used by the TiDB optimizer.

Highlights

  • Documentation Refinement: Minor wording adjustments were made to existing tidb_opt_*_factor system variables, clarifying their internal use within the cost model.
  • New Optimizer Cost Factors: Documentation for 16 new system variables related to optimizer cost factors has been added. These variables, such as tidb_opt_hash_agg_cost_factor and tidb_opt_index_join_cost_factor, are introduced for TiDB versions v8.5.3 and v9.0.0.
  • Internal Use Warning: All newly documented cost factor variables include a warning that they are for internal use by the cost model and are not recommended for manual modification.
  • Standardized Properties: The new variables are consistently defined with Float type, a range of [0, 2147483647], a default value of 1, and are applicable to SESSION | GLOBAL scope, supporting the SET_VAR hint.

Code Review

This pull request adds documentation for a set of new optimizer cost factor system variables. The changes are well-structured. I have a couple of suggestions to improve consistency and completeness, which I've added as comments on the first new variable tidb_opt_hash_agg_cost_factor. These suggestions apply to all the new variables added in this PR.

  • Variable names in headings should be wrapped in backticks for consistency with the rest of the document and to adhere to the style guide.
  • Each new variable should have a brief description of what it does to make the documentation more complete and helpful for users.

- Applies to hint [SET_VAR](/optimizer-hints.md#set_varvar_namevar_value): Yes
- Type: Float
- Range: `[0, 2147483647]`
- Default value: `1`

To improve clarity and completeness, please add a brief description of what this variable controls. This comment applies to all the new tidb_opt_*_cost_factor variables added in this pull request.1

For example, for tidb_opt_hash_agg_cost_factor, you could add the following bullet point to its property list:

- This variable is used to adjust the cost of the HashAgg operator.
