These jobs also required TiDB nodes to allocate local disk space for sorting, before loading to TiKV.<br/>With the introduction of the Global Sorting feature in v7.4.0, data is temporarily stored in external shared storage (S3 in this version) for global sorting before being loaded into TiKV. This eliminates the need for TiKV to consume extra resources and significantly improves the performance and stability of operations like <code>ADD INDEX</code> and <code>IMPORT INTO</code>.</td>

     Before v7.4.0, TiFlash does not support window functions containing `PRECEDING` or `FOLLOWING`, and all window functions containing such frame definitions cannot be pushed down to TiFlash. Starting from v7.4.0, TiFlash supports frame definitions of all window functions. This feature is enabled automatically, and window functions containing frame definitions will be automatically pushed down to TiFlash for execution when the related requirements are met.

     Before v7.4.0, when executing tasks like `ADD INDEX` or `IMPORT INTO` in the distributed parallel execution framework, each TiDB node needs to allocate a significant amount of local disk space for sorting encoded index KV pairs and table data KV pairs. However, due to the lack of global sorting capability, there might be overlapping data between different TiDB nodes and within each individual node during the process. As a result, TiKV has to constantly perform compaction operations while importing these KV pairs into its storage engine, which impacts the performance and stability of `ADD INDEX` and `IMPORT INTO`.
