Tests cover stream errors, dispatcher retries, and follower cache misses for key, previous-key, and ID lookups. ChangesFollower region cache fallback
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change correctly retries follower cache misses against the leader, but canceled lookups may still consume leader capacity, and a batch containing a miss can route otherwise satisfiable requests to the leader as well. These are bounded availability and efficiency risks, so the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on cancellation handling and batch isolation.

Make follower QueryRegion responses report REGION_NOT_FOUND while retaining partial results. Complete cache hits immediately and retry only missing logical requests on the leader, matching unary region lookup semantics. Signed-off-by: JmPotato <github@ipotato.me>

When a successful QueryRegion response is sparse but the endpoint was not already classified as a follower—for example, an independent router-service cache miss or an old PD node that has just stepped down—retryOnLeader remains false. The request is then completed with a nil Region even though the current leader may have it, so the legacy-success compatibility promised by this change remains incomplete.

Thanks for pointing this out. I rechecked this against the legacy unary GetRegion behavior, which is the compatibility boundary of this PR.
For an independent Router Service cache miss, unary GetRegion also calls grpcutil.GetRegion(..., false). A successful response with a nil Region has no header error, so NeedRetry does not fall back to the PD leader. During a PD role-transition window, unary does not provide the stronger fallback guarantee either: its retry decision also depends on the selected service client cached leader classification. Depending on the exact timing, it may expose a follower-related error instead of retrying, but it does not reliably retry the current leader.
Therefore, retrying every successful sparse response when the endpoint is not known to be a follower would strengthen behavior beyond unary and would also retry authoritative leader misses. This PR intentionally limits the fallback to the signals needed for unary parity: the request was sent to a known follower, or the server explicitly returned REGION_NOT_FOUND. The broader cache/role uncertainty is shared with the unary path and should be handled separately rather than expanding this parity fix.

Queue missing follower results in the dispatcher and process them through the next normal batch on the current leader. Pending requests fill the remaining batch capacity, preserving the existing serialized stream and batch lifecycle without a synchronous retry path. Signed-off-by: JmPotato <github@ipotato.me>
Avoid reserving the leader retry channel before the first follower miss. Allocate missing-request storage only when a response actually requires it while retaining exact capacity for whole-batch retries. Signed-off-by: JmPotato <github@ipotato.me>

id == 0 is a definitive empty result, not a follower cache miss. With WithAllowFollowerHandle, this returns found=false, so partialResponseFinisher retries GetRegionByID(0) on the leader. If the leader is unavailable, a lookup that should return (nil, nil) instead returns a connection/timeout error. Please finish zero-ID requests directly as nil results and add a follower-path regression test.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for pointing this out. I traced the same input through the legacy unary GetRegionByID path and confirmed that it has the same behavior when follower handling is enabled: if WithAllowFollowerHandle selects a follower, grpcutil.GetRegionByID returns REGION_NOT_FOUND for ID 0, ServiceClient.NeedRetry then retries the request on the leader, and an unavailable leader can therefore surface a connection/timeout error instead of (nil, nil).
The compatibility boundary of this PR is to align QueryRegion with the existing unary Region-query semantics, rather than change semantics shared by both paths. Special-casing ID 0 only in QueryRegion would make the two paths diverge. I will keep this PR scoped to parity and handle making zero-ID requests leader-independent for both unary and QueryRegion in a separate follow-up change with coverage for both paths.

What problem does this PR solve?
Issue Number: ref #11180
When QueryRegion is sent to a PD follower whose local Region cache is incomplete, a successful sparse response can complete GetRegion, GetPrevRegion, or GetRegionByID with a nil result even though the leader has the Region. The Unary APIs treat a follower miss as non-authoritative and retry it against the leader.
A QueryRegion batch can contain both cache hits and misses, so retrying the entire successful batch would duplicate queries the follower already answered. Retrying synchronously inside the current dispatch round would also keep that round open while waiting for the leader and unnecessarily extend its head-of-line blocking.
What is changed and how does it work?

Tests
Local multi-process E2E
Built this branch with failpoints enabled and started three independent
pd-serverprocesses on127.0.0.1. The cluster was bootstrapped with one store, then split into two Regions through a real RegionHeartbeat stream. The client was configured with QueryRegion and follower handling enabled, and its first QueryRegion attempt was forced to a follower whose local Region cache was replaced with an empty cache by the server failpoint.http://127.0.0.1:62379; forced follower:http://127.0.0.1:52379.GetRegion("m"),GetPrevRegion("n"), andGetRegionByID(100)all returned Region 100;GetRegionByID(1100)returned nil without an error.pd_server_query_region_duration_seconds_countchanged from 9 to 14 on the forced follower (+5: one direct probe and four client requests), from 10 to 16 on the leader (+6: two direct validation probes and four fallbacks), and remained 0 on the unused follower.Mixed fallback and normal-request E2E
Started a three-node PD cluster and a live Router Service instance over localhost through the integration harness. A temporary synchronization failpoint paused a confirmed follower cache-miss response, and the QueryRegion async-wait metric confirmed that 128 fresh requests had entered the same client queue before the response was released.
-race.The temporary synchronization hook was removed after validation; the committed regression test deterministically covers the same route and error isolation with mock streams.
Dispatcher tail-latency benchmark
A temporary controlled benchmark exercised the real dispatcher with a maximum-size 10,000-request follower batch, 128 fresh requests queued behind it, a fixed 2 ms leader RPC latency,
GOMAXPROCS=4, and five runs of 50 iterations. The table reports the median run's p50 and p99 for the queued fresh requests.Any nonzero miss adds one serialized leader-retry round before the next fresh batch; it does not add one round per miss. Increasing misses from 1 to 100 had negligible additional impact. A full 10,000-miss batch added response-processing cost on top of the fixed retry round. Since one source batch is bounded at 10,000 and a leader-retry batch cannot fallback again, fresh requests have at most one retry batch directly ahead of them. These controlled local numbers demonstrate the latency shape and are not production latency targets.
