 - This variable controls whether to use the MPP mode of TiFlash to execute queries. If the value is set to `ON`, TiDB automatically determines using the optimizer whether to choose MPP to execute queries. MPP is a distributed computing framework provided by the TiFlash engine, which allows data exchange between nodes and provides high-performance, high-throughput SQL algorithms.

+- Default value: For newly created clusters, the default value of v5.0 RC is `OFF` and the default value of v5.0 GA or later is `ON`. If your cluster was upgraded to v5.0 GA from v5.0 RC, the variable value stays unchanged. If your cluster is upgraded to v5.0 GA from v4.0 or earlier, the variable value defaults to `OFF` after the upgrade.
 - This variable is used to specify whether to enable the one-phase commit feature for transactions that only affect one Region. Compared with the often-used two-phase commit, one-phase commit can greatly reduce the latency of transaction commit and increase the throughput.
