Problem
Performing Instant add column followed by Online DDL on a table causes a crash.
Scenario for Issue Triggering
Performing Instant add column on a table followed by Online DDL operations such as OPTIMIZE TABLE or ALTER TABLE .. ADD PRIMARY KEY may cause a crash due to improper handling of the code (failure to instantly add columns or REDUNDANT format).

TXSQL 8.0 3.1.16.003.
Check Method
You can refer to the following command to scan for tables with potential risks.
select replace(name, '/', '.') as 'table_schema.table_name' from information_schema.innodb_tables where TOTAL_ROW_VERSIONS!=0 or INSTANT_COLS!=0;
Fixing Method
1. Upgrade the kernel version to TXSQL 8.0 3.1.16.003. For the procedure, see Upgrading the kernel minor version.
