Summary of Changes

Hello @elsa0520, 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!

This pull request aims to document a new system variable. While the title and description indicate the addition of tidb_opt_skew_distinct_agg, the provided patch actually adds documentation for tidb_opt_selectivity_factor. This variable is crucial for the TiDB optimizer, defining a pseudo selectivity value used when statistical information is insufficient.

Highlights

  • New System Variable Documentation: Documentation for the tidb_opt_selectivity_factor system variable has been added to system-variables.md. This variable, despite the PR title mentioning tidb_opt_skew_distinct_agg, is described with its scope (SESSION | GLOBAL), persistence, type (Float), range ([0, 1]), and default value (0.8). It indicates the pseudo selectivity for the TiDB optimizer and is generally not recommended for modification.

Code Review

This pull request aims to add documentation for the tidb_opt_skew_distinct_agg system variable. However, the changes in this pull request add documentation for tidb_opt_selectivity_factor instead. Please check if this is the intended change. The added documentation for tidb_opt_selectivity_factor is mostly correct, but I have a minor suggestion to improve the clarity of the description.
