Summary of Changes

Hello @Leavrth, 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 TiDB documentation by adding a new entry for the tidb_advancer_check_point_lag_limit global system variable. This variable provides a mechanism to control and manage the checkpoint lag of log backup tasks, enhancing the reliability of backup operations by automatically pausing tasks that exceed a configurable lag threshold.

Highlights

  • New System Variable Documentation: I've added comprehensive documentation for a new global system variable, tidb_advancer_check_point_lag_limit, which is introduced in TiDB v9.1.0.
  • Log Backup Checkpoint Control: This new variable allows users to configure the maximum acceptable lag time for log backup task checkpoints. If a log backup task's checkpoint lag exceeds this defined limit (defaulting to 48 hours), the TiDB Advancer will automatically pause the task to prevent excessive lag and ensure system stability.
