Over four months, Ayuan Zhang enhanced Apache Doris by building and refining core backend features focused on backup, restore, and materialized view reliability. Zhang delivered global system configuration backup and restore, introducing new SQL syntax and backend logic to improve disaster recovery and governance. He addressed correctness in materialized view rewrites and stabilized colocated table group associations during backup and restore, ensuring data integrity. In the apache/doris repository, Zhang used Java, Groovy, and ANTLR to implement robust backup workflows, optimize database management, and resolve issues in Hive integration and distributed caching, demonstrating depth in system design and test-driven development.

March 2025: Focused on stability and correctness in Hive integration, restore workflows, and CHDFS caching. Key outcomes include fixes to Hive Metastore client socket timeout, correct colocate handling during restores with new tests, and CHDFS cache host resolution to prevent cross-instance hash collisions. These changes reduce Metastore errors, ensure backend assignment consistency, and improve multi-tenant cache reliability, contributing to system stability and scalability. Technologies demonstrated include HiveConf timeout management, backup/restore workflows, CHDFS URI parsing, and test-driven development.

January 2025: Delivered backup/restore enhancements for colocated tables and stabilized the test suite in apache/doris, reinforcing data integrity and CI reliability. Implemented 'reserve_colocate' restore property to preserve colocate table group associations during backup/restore, and fixed test flakiness by ensuring unique repository name via UUID per test run.

December 2024 (2024-12): Delivered the Global System Configuration Backup and Restore feature for Apache Doris, enabling backup and restoration of global objects such as user privileges, catalogs, and workload groups. This included new SQL syntax and backend logic to manage global configurations, substantially improving disaster recovery capabilities and data governance. No major bugs reported this month; effort focused on feature delivery and DR readiness. Overall impact includes enhanced system resilience, faster DR testing, and stronger governance across global configurations. Technologies/skills demonstrated include SQL syntax design, backend development for global config management, and distributed backup/restore workflows.

November 2024: Focused on hardening materialized view (MV) rewrites in Apache Doris. Implemented a correctness fix for aggregate-table rewrites involving synchronous MVs, ensuring all key columns are evaluated during rewrites instead of only key size. This eliminates incorrect results and improves MV reliability in production. The change was committed as 24e34d3d021c642e9ef2d6dddc937a89c021a5dd with message '[fix](sync mv) fix rewrite wrongly with sync mv (#39284)'.
