This adds an override flag to be able to set the shutdown timeout for MySQL for an individual backup without having to override the global flag for a tablet.

Review Checklist

Hello reviewers! 👋 Please follow this checklist when reviewing this Pull Request.

General

  • Ensure that the Pull Request has a descriptive title.
  • Ensure there is a link to an issue (except for internal cleanup and flaky test fixes), new features should have an RFC that documents use cases and test cases.

Tests

  • Bug fixes should have at least one unit or end-to-end test, enhancement and new features should have a sufficient number of tests.

Documentation

  • Apply the release notes (needs details) label if users need to know about this change.
  • New features should be documented.
  • There should be some code comments as to why things are implemented the way they are.
  • There should be a comment at the top of each new or modified test to explain what the test does.

New flags

  • Is this flag really necessary?
  • Flag names must be clear and intuitive, use dashes (-), and have a clear help text.

If a workflow is added or modified:

  • Each item in Jobs should be named in order to mark it as required.
  • If the workflow needs to be marked as required, the maintainer team must be notified.

Backward compatibility

  • Protobuf changes should be wire-compatible.
  • Changes to _vt tables and RPCs need to be backward compatible.
  • RPC changes should be compatible with vitess-operator
  • If a flag is removed, then it should also be removed from vitess-operator and arewefastyet, if used there.
  • vtctl command output order should be stable and awk-able.

I could not find E2E tests in the codebase where we run vtctldclient Backup/BackupShard. It would be nice to add one.

New CLI documentation will have to be generated for this subcommand: https://vitess.io/docs/22.0/reference/programs/vtctldclient/vtctldclient_backup/

This should be picked up when we re-generate the CLI docs before v22.0.0, but just noting it here.

Let's make the first letter upper case to match what we do in the other flags.

I made these consistent with all the other spots where we have the same flag.

If we're changing it, we should also change it for all existing flags with the same name?

Same here, let's capitalize the first letter of the helper.

@frouioui we could add an end to end test, but it wouldn't really be to exercise the new option.

Tests are really small scale setups here and to reproduce this kind of timeout problem specifically you need both a very large dataset and also modify it significantly before attempting the shutdown.

If you're talking about just having something to validate it end to end, then sure, it does add some value for that.
