Description
We currently backup and restore the external statement hints created by these plan management builtin functions:
- `information_schema.crdb_rewrite_inline_hints`
- `information_schema.crdb_set_session_variable_hint`
- `information_schema.crdb_pin_plan_gist`
- `information_schema.crdb_pin_plan_gram`
But we do not have a way to export or import the external statement hints to move them between clusters. We should add a way to do this so that statement hints created on testing clusters can be applied to production clusters.
Jira issue: CRDB-65866
Epic: CRDB-66266
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by examining the existing backup and restore handling for external statement hints created by the four listed information_schema functions. Determine how an export/import path could move those hints between clusters, including from testing to production. Done means externally created hints can be exported from one cluster and imported into another.
