Description

What did you do?

upstream:

create table mysql.a (pk bigint primary key);
rename table mysql.a to test.a;

no need to create any changefeed.

What did you expect to see?

nothing.

if any changefeed is listening on test.*, failing it because of ErrSyncRenameTableFailed (table's old name is not in filter rule)

What did you see instead?

every node in the entire cluster panicked:
