- This variable indicates the location where data is stored. This location can be a local path or point to a PD server if the data is stored on TiKV.
- A value in the format of `ip_address:port` indicates the PD server that TiDB connects to on startup.

### ddl_slow_threshold

- Scope: INSTANCE
- Default value: `300`
- DDL operations whose execution time exceeds the threshold value are output to the log. The unit is millisecond.

### default_authentication_plugin

- Scope: GLOBAL
- Default value: `mysql_native_password`
- Possible values: `mysql_native_password`, `caching_sha2_password`
- This variable sets the authentication method that the server advertises when the server-client connection is being established. Possible values for this variable are documented in [Authentication plugin status](/security-compatibility-with-mysql.md#authentication-plugin-status).
- Value options: `mysql_native_password` and `caching_sha2_password`. For more details, see [Authentication plugin status](/security-compatibility-with-mysql.md#authentication-plugin-status).

- In versions before v5.1.0, the default value of this variable is `1`. In v5.1.0, the default value of this variable is `2`, which serves as an experimental feature. For detailed introduction, see [Introduction to Statistics](/statistics.md).

- Controls whether to ignore the optimizer's cost estimation and to forcibly use TiFlash's MPP mode for query execution. The value options are as follows:
- `0` or `OFF`, which means that the MPP mode is not forcibly used (by default).
- `1` or `ON`, which means that the cost estimation is ignored and the MPP mode is forcibly used. Note that this setting only takes effect when `tidb_allow_mpp=true`.

- This variable is used to set whether the optimizer executes the optimization operation of pushing down the aggregate function to the position before Join, Projection, and UnionAll.
- When the aggregate operation is slow in query, you can set the variable value to ON.

### tidb_opt_limit_push_down_threshold

- Scope: SESSION | GLOBAL
- Default value: `100`
- Range: `[0, 2147483647]`
- This variable is used to set the threshold that determines whether to push the Limit or TopN operator down to TiKV.
- If the value of the Limit or TopN operator is smaller than or equal to this threshold, these operators are forcibly pushed down to TiKV. This variable resolves the issue that the Limit or TopN operator cannot be pushed down to TiKV partly due to wrong estimation.
