Pull request overview

This PR introduces a design document for improving introspection query performance in Materialize by separating introspection data processing from main query processing workloads. The proposal addresses slow or unresponsive introspection queries under load by moving introspection processing to a dedicated Timely runtime.

Changes:

  • Added comprehensive design document outlining the problem, success criteria, and proposed solution for faster compute introspection
  • Proposed two approaches: reserved workers within the same process and separate sidecar cluster replicas
  • Defined SQL syntax for creating clusters with introspection sidecars (both colocated and separate)

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.


### Sidecar cluster replicas

This command crates a new replica and a separate introspection sidecar replica.
