This specifically depends on the business. What TiDB can do is also cooperate with TiFlash. For cost estimation, if there are very few columns in the query and calculation, the cost will be lower if it goes through TiFlash, and it will use columnar storage for the query.
After creating a table with TiFlash replicas, the TiDB optimizer will automatically estimate the cost and decide whether to use the TiFlash replica.
To ensure optimal performance, make sure the statistics are accurate. If the statistics are accurate but the execution plan still does not use the more efficient TiFlash, you can manually specify a hint or reduce the tidb_opt_seek_factor
parameter to make the optimizer more inclined to choose TiFlash.
The TiDB optimizer will automatically choose whether to use the TiFlash replica based on cost estimation, or it can be manually enforced by the business to use a specified TiFlash replica for one or several tables. It should not be distinguishable from the SQL itself.
Indeed, it is very difficult to distinguish SQL itself.
