Summary of Changes

Hello @hzcheng, 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 introduces a new FORCE option for the COMPACT SQL command, enhancing data maintenance capabilities by allowing administrators to explicitly trigger compaction processes regardless of recent data writes. This ensures greater control over storage optimization, particularly in scenarios where data might be static but compaction is still desired for other reasons. The implementation involves updates across the system's parsing, internal data handling, and documentation layers to fully support this new functionality.

Highlights

  • New FORCE Option for COMPACT Command: The COMPACT SQL command now supports a FORCE option, allowing users to explicitly trigger compaction for databases or vgroups.
  • Forced Compaction Behavior: This new option enables compaction of file groups even if no new data has been written since the last compaction, providing greater control over data maintenance.
  • Documentation Updates: The English and Chinese operation manuals have been updated to include the new FORCE keyword in the COMPACT command syntax and explain its functionality.
  • Internal System Integration: The force flag has been integrated into various internal data structures (e.g., SCompactDbReq, SCompactVnodeReq, SCompactDatabaseStmt, SCompactVgroupsStmt, SCompactArg), serialization/deserialization logic, and the SQL parser to ensure end-to-end support for the new option.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a FORCE option for the COMPACT command, allowing compaction to run even if no new data has been written. The changes are implemented consistently across the stack, from the SQL parser to the underlying storage message formats. The code modifications are correct and handle backward compatibility for message formats properly. I have one suggestion to improve the wording in the English documentation for better clarity.

- You can specify the start time of the COMPACT data with the start with keyword
- You can specify the end time of the COMPACT data with the end with keyword
- You can specify the META_ONLY keyword to only compact the meta data which are not compacted by default. Meta data compaction can block write and the database compacting meta should stop write and query
- The file group will not compact if no new data is written since the last compact unless the FORCE keyword is specified

The wording of this sentence could be improved for clarity. Consider rephrasing to make it more natural for English readers.

Suggested change
- The file group will not compact if no new data is written since the last compact unless the FORCE keyword is specified
- A file group will not be compacted if no new data has been written since the last compaction, unless the FORCE keyword is specified
