Summary of Changes

Hello @Oreoxmt, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

I've updated the documentation for TiDB version 7.5.7 to reflect a significant change in the default behavior of the tidb_enable_historical_stats system variable. Previously, this variable defaulted to ON, enabling historical statistics by default. With this change, the default value is now OFF, meaning historical statistics will be disabled by default. This adjustment impacts how historical statistics are managed out-of-the-box for users of TiDB 7.5.7 and later.

Highlights

  • tidb_enable_historical_stats Default Value Change: The default value for the tidb_enable_historical_stats system variable has been changed from ON to OFF specifically for TiDB version 7.5.7. This means that historical statistics will now be disabled by default in this version.
  • Documentation Update: The system-variables.md documentation file has been updated to reflect this change, providing clear information about the new default value and its implications for users.
