Description

Change Request

This repository is ONLY used to solve issues related to DOCS.
For other issues (related to TiDB, PD, etc), please move to other repositories.

Please answer the following questions before submitting your issue. Thanks!

  1. Describe what you find is inappropriate or missing in the existing docs.

In the PR https://github.com/pingcap/docs/pull/3152 the following comments were left unhandled:

  • Has the value of auto been removed from tidb_enable_table_partition? @tiancaiamao
  • Can we safely set tidb_row_format_version to a lower value in a newer versioned TiDB cluster? @coocood
  • Is there an example where windowing_use_high_precision has different behavior / performance? @SunRunAway
  1. Describe your suggestion or addition.

See above.

  1. Provide some reference materials (documents, websites, etc) if you could.

Research direction

Start by reading PR 3152 and the unresolved comments about tidb_enable_table_partition, tidb_row_format_version, and windowing_use_high_precision. Locate those system-variable entries in the documentation, verify the behavior and version or performance details, and update the relevant explanations and examples so all three questions are answered.
