Hello @Tristan1900, 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!

Summary of Changes

This pull request updates the documentation for the TiDB Backup & Restore (BR) tool, specifically focusing on clarifying the behavior and configuration of checksums during backup and restore operations. The changes aim to provide users with a better understanding of the performance and data integrity trade-offs associated with enabling or disabling table-level checksums. The documentation is updated to reflect the default behavior of disabling table-level checksums in recent versions to improve performance, while emphasizing the option to enable them for stricter data validation.

Highlights

  • Checksum Documentation: A new 'Checksum' section is added to br/br-snapshot-manual.md to explain file-level and table-level checksums, their impact on performance, and configuration examples.
  • Default Checksum Behavior: The documentation is updated to reflect that table-level checksums are disabled by default in recent BR versions (v8.5.0 for backup, v9.5.0 for restore) to improve performance.
  • PITR Documentation Update: The br/br-pitr-manual.md file is updated to include a reference to the new Checksum documentation.
  • Command-Line Tool Documentation Update: The br/use-br-command-line-tool.md file is updated to include the --checksum option and a reference to the Checksum documentation.

Changelog

  • br/br-pitr-manual.md
    • Added a reference to the Checksum documentation in br-snapshot-manual.md.
  • br/br-snapshot-manual.md
    • Added a new 'Checksum' section explaining file-level and table-level checksums.
    • Removed the note about disabling table-level checksums by default in v8.5.0 from the general notes section, as this is now covered in the Checksum section.
    • Updated the description of the restore process to clarify when table-level checksum verification is performed.
  • br/use-br-command-line-tool.md
    • Added the --checksum option to the list of command-line flags and linked to the Checksum documentation.

Code Review

The pull request introduces changes to the documentation for the BR tool, specifically focusing on disabling checksums by default and providing more information about checksum configuration. The changes seem well-organized and provide useful information to the user. However, there are a few areas where the clarity and consistency can be improved.

Summary of Findings

  • Clarity and Consistency: Ensure consistent terminology and clear explanations throughout the documentation, especially when introducing new concepts like checksum levels. Also, ensure that the documentation is easy to understand for TiDB users.[^1]
  • Sentence Structure and Flow: Improve sentence structure and logical flow to enhance readability and comprehension. Make sure the documentation is easy to understand for TiDB users.[^1]
  • Markdown Style: Ensure adherence to markdown style guidelines, including proper heading hierarchy and spacing. Add a blank line before and after headings and lists.[^2]

Merge Readiness

The pull request is almost ready for merging. Addressing the comments related to clarity, consistency, and markdown style will further improve the quality of the documentation. I am unable to approve the pull request, and users should have others review and approve this code before merging. I recommend addressing the comments before merging.

Checksum is a method used by the BR tool to verify the integrity of backup and restore data. BR supports two levels of checksums:

1. **File-level checksum**: Verifies the backup files themselves to ensure integrity during storage and transmission. This checksum is always enabled and cannot be disabled.
2. **Table-level checksum**: Verifies the integrity of table data content and confirms the business logic consistency of the data. This checksum is disabled by default but can be enabled through parameters.
