CLI and Configuration Parameters of TiCDC Changefeeds
Changefeed CLI parameters
This section introduces the command-line parameters of TiCDC changefeeds by illustrating how to create a replication (changefeed) task:
cdc cli changefeed create --server=http://10.0.10.25:8300 --sink-uri="mysql://root:123456@127.0.0.1:3306/" --changefeed-id="simple-replication-task"
Create changefeed successfully!

--changefeed-id
: The ID of the replication task. The format must match the^[a-zA-Z0-9]+(\-[a-zA-Z0-9]+)*$
regular expression. If this ID is not specified, TiCDC automatically generates a UUID (the version 4 format) as the ID.--sink-uri
: The downstream address of the replication task. Configure--sink-uri
according to the following format. Currently, the scheme supportsmysql
,tidb
, andkafka
.```
[scheme]://[userinfo@][host]:[port][/path]?[query_parameters]
```
When the sink URI contains special characters such as `! * ' ( ) ; : @ & = + $ , / ? % # [ ]`, you need to escape the special characters, for example, in [URI Encoder](https://www.urlencoder.org/).
--start-ts
: Specifies the starting TSO of the changefeed. From this TSO, the TiCDC cluster starts pulling data. The default value is the current time.--target-ts
: Specifies the ending TSO of the changefeed. To this TSO, the TiCDC cluster stops pulling data. The default value is empty, which means that TiCDC does not automatically stop pulling data.--config
: Specifies the configuration file of the changefeed.
Changefeed configuration parameters
This section introduces the configuration of a replication task.
# Specifies the memory quota (in bytes) that can be used in the capture server by the sink manager.
# If the value is exceeded, the overused part will be recycled by the go runtime.
# The default value is `1073741824` (1 GB).
# memory-quota = 1073741824
# Specifies whether the database names and tables in the configuration file are case-sensitive.
# Starting from v6.5.6, v7.1.3, and v7.5.0, the default value changes from true to false.
# This configuration item affects configurations related to filter and sink.
case-sensitive = false
# Specifies whether to enable the Syncpoint feature, which is supported since v6.3.0 and is disabled by default.
# Since v6.4.0, only the changefeed with the SYSTEM_VARIABLES_ADMIN or SUPER privilege can use the TiCDC Syncpoint feature.
# Note: This configuration item only takes effect if the downstream is TiDB.
# enable-sync-point = false
# Specifies the interval at which Syncpoint aligns the upstream and downstream snapshots.
# The format is in h m s. For example, "1h30m30s".
# The default value is "10m" and the minimum value is "30s".
# Note: This configuration item only takes effect if the downstream is TiDB.
# sync-point-interval = "5m"
# Specifies how long the data is retained by Syncpoint in the downstream table. When this duration is exceeded, the data is cleaned up.
# The format is in h m s. For example, "24h30m30s".
# The default value is "24h".
# Note: This configuration item only takes effect if the downstream is TiDB.
# sync-point-retention = "1h"
# Starting from v6.5.6, v7.1.3, and v7.5.0, this configuration item specifies the SQL mode used when parsing DDL statements. Multiple modes are separated by commas.
# The default value is the same as the default SQL mode of TiDB.
# sql-mode = "ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"
# The duration for which the changefeed is allowed to automatically retry when internal errors or exceptions occur. The default value is 30 minutes.
# The changefeed enters the failed state if internal errors or exceptions occur in the changefeed and persist longer than the duration set by this parameter.
# When the changefeed is in the failed state, you need to restart the changefeed manually for recovery.
# The format of this parameter is "h m s", for example, "1h30m30s".
changefeed-error-stuck-duration = "30m"
[mounter]
# The number of threads with which the mounter decodes KV data. The default value is 16.
# worker-num = 16
[filter]
# Ignores the transaction of specified start_ts.
# ignore-txn-start-ts = [1, 2]
# Filter rules.
# Filter syntax: <https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/stable/table-filter#syntax>.
rules = ['*.*', '!test.*']
# Event filter rules.
# The detailed syntax is described in <https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/stable/ticdc-filter>
# The first event filter rule.
# [[filter.event-filters]]
# matcher = ["test.worker"] # matcher is an allow list, which means this rule only applies to the worker table in the test database.
# ignore-event = ["insert"] # Ignore insert events.
# ignore-sql = ["^drop", "add column"] # Ignore DDLs that start with "drop" or contain "add column".
# ignore-delete-value-expr = "name = 'john'" # Ignore delete DMLs that contain the condition "name = 'john'".
# ignore-insert-value-expr = "id >= 100" # Ignore insert DMLs that contain the condition "id >= 100".
# ignore-update-old-value-expr = "age < 18" # Ignore update DMLs whose old value contains "age < 18".
# ignore-update-new-value-expr = "gender = 'male'" # Ignore update DMLs whose new value contains "gender = 'male'".
# The second event filter rule.
# matcher = ["test.fruit"] # matcher is an allow list, which means this rule only applies to the fruit table in the test database.
# ignore-event = ["drop table", "delete"] # Ignore the `drop table` DDL events and the `delete` DML events.
# ignore-sql = ["^drop table", "alter table"] # Ignore DDL statements that start with `drop table` or contain `alter table`.
# ignore-insert-value-expr = "price > 1000 and origin = 'no where'" # Ignore insert DMLs that contain the conditions "price > 1000" and "origin = 'no where'".
[scheduler]
# Allocate tables to multiple TiCDC nodes for replication on a per-Region basis.
# Note: This configuration item only takes effect on Kafka changefeeds and is not supported on MySQL changefeeds.
# The value is "false" by default. Set it to "true" to enable this feature.
enable-table-across-nodes = false
# When `enable-table-across-nodes` is enabled, there are two allocation modes:
# 1. Allocate tables based on the number of Regions, so that each TiCDC node handles roughly the same number of Regions. If the number of Regions for a table exceeds the value of `region-threshold`, the table will be allocated to multiple nodes for replication. The default value of `region-threshold` is 10000.
# region-threshold = 10000
# 2. Allocate tables based on the write traffic, so that each TiCDC node handles roughly the same number of modified rows. Only when the number of modified rows per minute in a table exceeds the value of `write-key-threshold`, will this allocation take effect.
# write-key-threshold = 30000
# Note:
# * The default value of `write-key-threshold` is 0, which means that the traffic allocation mode is not used by default.
# * You only need to configure one of the two modes. If both `region-threshold` and `write-key-threshold` are configured, TiCDC prioritizes the traffic allocation mode, namely `write-key-threshold`.
[sink]
############ MQ sink configuration items ############
# For the sink of MQ type, you can use dispatchers to configure the event dispatcher.
# Since v6.1.0, TiDB supports two types of event dispatchers: partition and topic. For more information, see <partition and topic link>.
# The matching syntax of matcher is the same as the filter rule syntax. For details about the matcher rules, see <>.
# Note: This configuration item only takes effect if the downstream is MQ.
# Note: When the downstream MQ is Pulsar, if the routing rule for `partition` is not specified as any of `ts`, `index-value`, `table`, or `default`, each Pulsar message will be routed using the string you set as the key.
# For example, if you specify the routing rule for a matcher as the string `code`, then all Pulsar messages that match that matcher will be routed with `code` as the key.
# dispatchers = [
# {matcher = ['test1.*', 'test2.*'], topic = "Topic expression 1", partition = "index-value"},
# {matcher = ['test3.*', 'test4.*'], topic = "Topic expression 2", partition = "index-value", index = "index1"},
# {matcher = ['test1.*', 'test5.*'], topic = "Topic expression 3", partition = "table"},
# {matcher = ['test6.*'], partition = "columns", columns = "['a', 'b']"}
# {matcher = ['test7.*'], partition = "ts"}
# ]
# column-selectors is introduced in v7.5.0 and only takes effect when the downstream is Kafka.
# column-selectors is used to select specific columns for replication.
# column-selectors = [
# {matcher = ['test.t1'], columns = ['a', 'b']},
# {matcher = ['test.*'], columns = ["*", "!b"]},
# {matcher = ['test1.t1'], columns = ['column*', '!column1']},
# {matcher = ['test3.t'], columns = ["column?", "!column1"]},
# ]
# The protocol configuration item specifies the protocol format used for encoding messages.
# When the downstream is Kafka, the protocol can be canal-json, avro, debezium, open-protocol, or simple.
# When the downstream is Pulsar, the protocol can only be canal-json.
# When the downstream is a storage service, the protocol can only be canal-json or csv.
# Note: This configuration item only takes effect if the downstream is Kafka, Pulsar, or a storage service.
# protocol = "canal-json"
# Starting from v7.2.0, the `delete-only-output-handle-key-columns` parameter specifies the output of DELETE events. This parameter is valid only for canal-json and open-protocol protocols.
# This parameter is incompatible with `force-replicate`. If both this parameter and `force-replicate` is set to `true`, TiCDC reports an error when creating a changefeed.
# The default value is false, which means outputting all columns. When you set it to true, only primary key columns or unique index columns are output.
# The Avro protocol is not controlled by this parameter and always outputs only the primary key columns or unique index columns.
# The CSV protocol is not controlled by this parameter and always outputs all columns.
delete-only-output-handle-key-columns = false
# Schema registry URL.
# Note: This configuration item only takes effect if the downstream is MQ.
# schema-registry = "http://localhost:80801/subjects/{subject-name}/versions/{version-number}/schema"
# Specifies the number of encoder threads used when encoding data.
# Note: This configuration item only takes effect if the downstream is MQ.
# The default value is 32.
# encoder-concurrency = 32
# Specifies whether to enable kafka-sink-v2 that uses the kafka-go sink library.
# Note: This configuration item is experimental, and only takes effect if the downstream is MQ.
# The default value is false.
# enable-kafka-sink-v2 = false
# Starting from v7.1.0, this configuration item specifies whether to only output the updated columns.
# Note: This configuration item only applies to the MQ downstream using the open-protocol and canal-json.
# The default value is false.
# only-output-updated-columns = false
############ Storage sink configuration items ############
# The following three configuration items are only used when you replicate data to storage sinks and can be ignored when replicating data to MQ or MySQL sinks.
# Row terminator, used for separating two data change events. The default value is an empty string, which means "\r\n" is used.
# terminator = ''
# Date separator type used in the file directory. Value options are `none`, `year`, `month`, and `day`. `day` is the default value and means separating files by day. For more information, see <https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/stable/ticdc-sink-to-cloud-storage#data-change-records>.
# Note: This configuration item only takes effect if the downstream is a storage service.
date-separator = 'day'
# Whether to use partitions as the separation string. The default value is true, which means that partitions in a table are stored in separate directories. It is recommended that you keep the value as `true` to avoid potential data loss in downstream partitioned tables <https://github.com/pingcap/tiflow/issues/8724>. For usage examples, see <https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/dev/ticdc-sink-to-cloud-storage#data-change-records)>.
# Note: This configuration item only takes effect if the downstream is a storage service.
enable-partition-separator = true
# Since v6.5.0, TiCDC supports saving data changes to storage services in CSV format. Ignore the following configurations if you replicate data to MQ or MySQL sinks.
# [sink.csv]
# The character used to separate fields in the CSV file. The value must be an ASCII character and defaults to `,`.
# delimiter = ','
# The quotation character used to surround fields in the CSV file. The default value is `"`. If the value is empty, no quotation is used.
# quote = '"'
# The character displayed when a CSV column is null. The default value is `\N`.
# null = '\N'
# Whether to include commit-ts in CSV rows. The default value is false.
# include-commit-ts = false
# The encoding method of binary data, which can be 'base64' or 'hex'. The default value is 'base64'.
# binary-encoding-method = 'base64'
# Whether to output handle key information. The default value is false.
# This configuration parameter is for internal implementation only, so it is not recommended to set it.
# output-handle-key = false
# Whether to output the value before the row data changes. The default value is false.
# When it is enabled, the UPDATE event will output two rows of data: the first row is a DELETE event that outputs the data before the change; the second row is an INSERT event that outputs the changed data.
# When it is enabled (setting it to true), the "is-update" column will be added before the column with data changes. This added column is used to identify whether the data change of the current row comes from the UPDATE event or the original INSERT/DELETE event.
# If the data change of the current row comes from the UPDATE event, the value of the "is-update" column is true. Otherwise it is false.
# output-old-value = false
# Starting from v8.0.0, TiCDC supports the Simple message encoding protocol. The following are the configuration parameters for the Simple protocol.
# For more information about the protocol, see <https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/stable/ticdc-simple-protocol>.
# The following configuration parameters control the sending behavior of bootstrap messages.
# send-bootstrap-interval-in-sec controls the time interval for sending bootstrap messages, in seconds.
# The default value is 120 seconds, which means that a bootstrap message is sent every 120 seconds for each table.
# send-bootstrap-interval-in-sec = 120
# send-bootstrap-in-msg-count controls the message interval for sending bootstrap, in message count.
# The default value is 10000, which means that a bootstrap message is sent every 10000 row changed messages for each table.
# send-bootstrap-in-msg-count = 10000
# Note: If you want to disable the sending of bootstrap messages, set both send-bootstrap-interval-in-sec and send-bootstrap-in-msg-count to 0.
# send-bootstrap-to-all-partition controls whether to send bootstrap messages to all partitions.
# The default value is true, which means that bootstrap messages are sent to all partitions of the corresponding table topic.
# Setting it to false means bootstrap messages are sent to only the first partition of the corresponding table topic.
# send-bootstrap-to-all-partition = true
