Description
In single-tenant world we propagate "misplanned ranges" metadata (which updates the DistSender's range cache of the gateway for the query) in ad-hoc fashion: namely, if we distribute the query but place the TableReaders not on leaseholders of the ranges, then those TableReaders produce the "misplanned ranges" metadata that is sent back to the gateway. Currently, this mechanism doesn't work in secondary tenants for two reasons:
- we use random placement of TableReaders
- when creating metadata, the TableReaders don't have access to `NodeID` which is a requirement for the "misplanned ranges" metadata generation.
We need to figure out how we want to improve the situation (perhaps shared-process and separate-process modes will behave differently). We also need to find a way of triggering the range cache population (ideally via SQL) that we often use in tests (one example where this is currently needed is `TestSpanResolverUsesCaches`).
xref #76378.
