Reference tables are unsharded tables, but are present in a sharded keyspace. They are expected to be present in all shards of a keyspace, and have identical content. Consequently, they do not have vindexes.

You can designate such tables by setting the table type to be reference in the vschema.

Selecting from reference tables will create a new SelectReference plan. This plan will make vtgate pick a random shard to read from. More importantly, when a sharded table is joined with a reference table, it becomes a local join.

Typically, reference tables are materialized from an unsharded source through vreplication. You can also specify a routing rule that unifies the source and destination. VTGate will then pick the 'best plan' depending on the query that was issued.

Also make SelectNext more type safe

did this actually work earlier? I would have expected it to throw an error.

It worked earlier, and two users ran into issues when they accidentally deployed sequences on a sharded keyspace. So, I fixed it as part of this change.

is adding SelectNext and SelectDBA here enabled by vreplication, or is this an incidental change?

These are essentially unreachable code paths or impractical use cases. But I decided to add these for the sake of correctness and completeness. Otherwise, it becomes hard to reason about why these got left out.

It's been busy and exciting in vitess upstream. Some changes that felt worth calling out as they could impact assumptions about behavior:

- vitessio#4832 — this adds a timeout that is 3x the `healthCheckInterval` which at which point the tablet will stop reporting as healthy
- vitessio#4814 — this changes when command line args are used by vttablet
- vitessio#4811 — a planned reparent now sets `super_read_only`
- vitessio#4805 — behavior coming back from a failed backup is different
