Summary of Changes

Hello @0xPoe, 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 introduces documentation for a newly added configuration parameter, skip-init-stats, within the TiDB configuration file. The purpose is to inform users about this option, which allows for bypassing statistics initialization during TiDB startup, offering a way to accelerate startup times in specific, advanced scenarios, while also highlighting potential performance implications if used improperly.

Highlights

  • Documentation for skip-init-stats: Added a new section to tidb-configuration-file.md detailing the skip-init-stats configuration option. This includes its purpose (skipping statistics initialization during TiDB startup), default value (false), and important considerations regarding its use, particularly for performance and optimizer behavior.
