Description

Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb-in-kubernetes/dev/access-tidb#gracefully-upgrade-the-tidb-cluster introduces the prestop hook for TiDB, however, we have to make sure that TiDB may be gracefully upgraded (the long connections will be down but no new connections will be rejected):

  • For on-premise deploy, can the ingress controller meet the requirement? How to configure them?
  • For public cloud deploy, can the LB + prestop hook meet the requirement?

Research direction

Start with the linked TiDB Operator documentation at the graceful-upgrade section and review the ingress-controller, load-balancer, and preStop-hook behavior described there. Compare the on-premise and public-cloud deployment paths; done means the supported configuration for graceful upgrades is established and documented without rejecting new connections while existing ones drain.
