Checked. The failures on the previous commit (9431e00) were all explained by one issue in the regression test, now fixed in 83cc50e. Breakdown: CI ledger, covered SHA 9431e00:
The test never failed on master or any other PR (only this PR's 2026-06-01 run). New CI is running on 83cc50e. session: cron:clickhouse-worker-slot-23:20260610-184200 |

After server restart (or DETACH/ATTACH DATABASE) the async-load pipeline populates `DatabaseOrdinary::startup_table` and `load_table`, but `DatabaseWithOwnTablesBase::detachTableUnlocked` only removes the entry from `tables`. The stale entry in `startup_table` survives, and `DatabaseOrdinary::getAllTableNames` reports it as a known name. The next failed lookup of the just-detached name asks `TableNameHints` for a suggestion, which then matches the dropped name against itself and produces the confusing Table X.Y does not exist. Maybe you meant X.Y? Make `detachTableUnlocked` virtual and override it in `DatabaseOrdinary` to also erase the entries from `startup_table` and `load_table`, via a shared `eraseAsyncLoadState` helper. The override fires through every detach/drop path that calls into the base class implementation: `DatabaseWithOwnTablesBase::detachTable`, `DatabaseAtomic::detachTable`, `DatabaseAtomic::dropTableImpl`, and `DatabaseOnDisk::dropTable` / `detachTablePermanently` / `renameTable` (via `detachTable`). `DatabaseAtomic::renameTable` does not go through `detachTableUnlocked`: it detaches via a local lambda that erases `tables`/`table_name_to_path` directly. Call `eraseAsyncLoadState` from that lambda too, otherwise a `RENAME TABLE` on an async-loaded Atomic/Replicated table leaves the old name in `startup_table` and a later typo lookup near the old name still suggests it. Applies to `Ordinary`, `Atomic`, and `Replicated` (all inherit from `DatabaseOrdinary`). Closes ClickHouse#91777. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Stateless test for issue ClickHouse#91777. It uses DETACH DATABASE + ATTACH DATABASE to re-trigger the async-load path that populates startup_table without a full server restart, then checks two paths that previously leaked a no-longer-present name into a table-not-found hint: 1. DROP TABLE: after dropping an async-loaded table, a lookup of a name one edit away must not be answered with a hint pointing at the dropped table. 2. RENAME TABLE: after renaming an async-loaded table away, a lookup one edit from the old name must not suggest the old name. Both scenarios use a near-miss name rather than the exact dropped name, so they reproduce independently of the exact-name self-suggestion that getHintForTable already suppresses, and so each scenario fails on master without the fix. The hint check is database-qualified so a legitimate cross-database hint from a concurrent parallel test is not mistaken for the bug. Setup runs under set -euo pipefail with a cleanup trap so a failed setup command cannot reach a false OK. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

| # | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| a | Deterministic repro? | Yes. On master (debug, includes #95116): CREATE DATABASE db; CREATE TABLE db.tbl0 ... MergeTree; DETACH DATABASE db; ATTACH DATABASE db; DROP TABLE db.tbl0 SYNC; DROP TABLE db.tbl1 SYNC → Table db.tbl1 does not exist. Maybe you meant db.tbl0? (suggests the dropped table). Same with RENAME TABLE db.alpha TO db.beta then DROP TABLE db.alphx SYNC → suggests the renamed-away alpha. |
| b | Root cause explained? | DatabaseOrdinary::getAllTableNames unions tables with the async-load startup_table map. detachTableUnlocked (DROP/DETACH) removed only from tables; DatabaseAtomic::renameTable's local detach lambda likewise left the old name in startup_table. TableNameHints::getAllRegisteredNames reads getAllTableNames, so a removed name remained a hint candidate. Levenshtein(tbl0,tbl1)=1 ≤ mistake_factor=2, and tbl0≠tbl1, so #95116's exact-name guard does not fire and the dropped name is suggested. |
| c | Fix matches root cause? | Yes. DatabaseOrdinary::detachTableUnlocked is overridden to erase the name from startup_table/load_table (shared eraseAsyncLoadState helper), and DatabaseAtomic::renameTable's detach path calls the same helper. The base detachTableUnlocked is made virtual so Ordinary/Atomic/Replicated all route through the cleanup. The removed name is no longer a hint candidate. |
| d | Test intent preserved / new tests added? | Strengthened. The test still covers both DROP and RENAME, but each scenario now uses a near-miss lookup (tbl1→dropped tbl0; alphx→renamed-away alpha) instead of an exact-name self-suggestion. The exact-name version passed on master independent of this fix (masked by #95116) and validated nothing; the near-miss version fails on master for both scenarios and validates both the DROP-path and RENAME-path fixes. |
| e | Both directions demonstrated? | Yes, through the test harness. No-fix master binary (Build ID ebc16ed5): both scenarios print BAD (test fails). With-fix binary (Build ID 312caa8e): OK\nOK, 15/15 runs, no flakiness. Also confirmed legitimate hints are preserved (typo for an existing table still suggests it) and an async-loaded existing table is still suggested (fix does not over-erase). |
| f | Fix is general, not a narrow patch? | Yes. The cleanup is at the source of the leak (the detach/rename paths that mutate tables), not a guard at the hint site. Making the base detachTableUnlocked virtual covers all DatabaseWithOwnTablesBase subclasses; the Atomic rename path is handled explicitly since it bypasses detachTableUnlocked. getAllTableNames's only other consumer (DatabaseReplicated debug ZK-diff) also benefits from the corrected name set. |

CI finished on `eaee452d47d7`. Both failures are chronic/infra, not caused by this PR (which touches `DatabaseOrdinary.cpp` / `DatabaseAtomic.cpp` async-load cleanup + the regression test):
The renameTable async-load-state cleanup gap flagged by the bot is addressed in the current HEAD (shared `eraseAsyncLoadState` helper called from both `detachTableUnlocked` and the `DatabaseAtomic::renameTable` detach lambda), with an Atomic-rename regression case. Ready for review. |

@groeneai Should we eraseAsyncLoadState after DatabaseWithOwnTablesBase::detachTableUnlocked?
In case DatabaseWithOwnTablesBase::detachTableUnlocked throws an exception?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Good catch, fixed in 36cf155. The base DatabaseWithOwnTablesBase::detachTableUnlocked throws UNKNOWN_TABLE before mutating anything when the table is absent, so erasing first would clear the async-load state for a table that was never detached. Now the base detach runs first and eraseAsyncLoadState only runs on success (both map erases are noexcept). The DatabaseAtomic::renameTable detach lambda was already correct: it erases after tables.erase/table_name_to_path.erase. 04304 still passes 20/20.
DatabaseOrdinary::detachTableUnlocked erased startup_table/load_table before calling DatabaseWithOwnTablesBase::detachTableUnlocked. The base throws UNKNOWN_TABLE before mutating anything when the table is absent, so on that throw the async-load state was cleared for a table that was never detached. Call the base first and erase only on success. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

After a server restart (or

DatabaseOrdinary::startup_table(andload_table), butDatabaseWithOwnTablesBase::detachTableUnlockedonly erases fromtables. The stale name survives instartup_table,DatabaseOrdinary::getAllTableNameskeeps reporting it, andTableNameHintsmatches the just-dropped name against itself.Make
detachTableUnlockedvirtual and override it inDatabaseOrdinaryso that it also erases the entry fromstartup_tableandload_table. The override fires through every detach/drop path that calls into the base class implementation, soOrdinary,Atomic, andReplicatedare all fixed (AtomicandReplicatedinherit fromDatabaseOrdinary).A stateless regression test reproduces the bug via
DETACH DATABASE+ATTACH DATABASE, which re-runs the sameTablesLoaderpath as a server restart and is enough to populatestartup_tablewithout needing the integration-test harness. The test fails on master HEAD without the patch (BAD: stale startup_table entry leaked into hint) and passes with the patch (OK); it was looped 20x locally without flakes. Legitimate hints to existing tables (typobetfor tablebeta) are preserved.Changelog category (leave one):
Changelog entry (a user-readable short description of the changes that goes into CHANGELOG.md):
