Description

This PR adds more wrapping/clarifications to the error returned by cutOverVReplMigration(). The function already logs the required information. However, the error returned by the function is also captured in vitess_migrations.message column, and right nwo it is not informative enough. For example, it might read "due to context timeout" which isn't helpful if you don't know what specific operation was timing out. Again, the logs have the information, but it will be so much nicer to have more clarity in the message column.

Review Checklist

Hello reviewers! 👋 Please follow this checklist when reviewing this Pull Request.

General

  • Ensure that the Pull Request has a descriptive title.
  • Ensure there is a link to an issue (except for internal cleanup and flaky test fixes), new features should have an RFC that documents use cases and test cases.

Tests

  • Bug fixes should have at least one unit or end-to-end test, enhancement and new features should have a sufficient number of tests.

Documentation

  • Apply the release notes (needs details) label if users need to know about this change.
  • New features should be documented.
  • There should be some code comments as to why things are implemented the way they are.
  • There should be a comment at the top of each new or modified test to explain what the test does.

New flags

  • Is this flag really necessary?
  • Flag names must be clear and intuitive, use dashes (-), and have a clear help text.

If a workflow is added or modified:

  • Each item in Jobs should be named in order to mark it as required.
  • If the workflow needs to be marked as required, the maintainer team must be notified.

Backward compatibility

  • Protobuf changes should be wire-compatible.
  • Changes to _vt tables and RPCs need to be backward compatible.
  • RPC changes should be compatible with vitess-operator
  • If a flag is removed, then it should also be removed from vitess-operator and arewefastyet, if used there.
  • vtctl command output order should be stable and awk-able.

As added bonus, why not also report what position we did land at.

This is also in the error message from the VReplication Engine FWIW.

This change is required because the underlying SQL error is now likely to be wrapped by a vitess error.

Not sure if we have any wrapping, but I think places where we cast errors directly probably should use https://pkg.go.dev/errors#example-As these days. So if we're changing this, maybe also switch to that?

sqlerror.NewSQLErrorFromError is even a bit more elaborate and can parse a MySQL error out of a string. We use that pretty consistently across the repo.
I'd say if we wanted to change that, it would be in a dedicated PR in one giant sweep.

sqlerror.NewSQLErrorFromError

It's not about this function though? It's about the cast after?

Ah, the cast at that same line... Rich story. We tried to get rid of it altogether, but hit the (weird, IMO) golang design decision where an interface (SQLError) can be non-nil where the underlying implementation is nil. So we kind of have to use the cast. What we know, though, is that the result of sqlerror.NewSQLErrorFromError is either a fully unwrapped sqlerror.SQLError or it is nil. So no need to use As on the result of this function.

Would it not make more sense to say ~ "failed to find queries ..." and similar for some others like the one just below?
