📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added optional hybrid Parquet scanning for eligible single-file queries.
    • Improved scan performance with row-group statistics and bloom-filter pruning.
    • Added configuration controls for hybrid scanning and statistics-based pruning.
    • Preserved existing scan behavior for unsupported query patterns.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of small or unsplittable Parquet files and empty scan results.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for filtered, projected, and unfiltered hybrid scans.

Walkthrough

Hybrid Parquet scanning is added for eligible single-file streaming scans. The change caches parsed metadata, adds configuration controls, propagates metadata parsing through prefetch and source construction, and performs two-pass reads with pruning and fallback handling.

Changes

Hybrid Parquet scanning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Metadata caching and scan configuration
python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/dsl/utils/io.py, python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/utils/config.py
Cached footer information stores parsed hybrid metadata and creates readers per read. ParquetOptions adds hybrid scanning and statistics-pruning controls.
Hybrid metadata propagation
python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/engine/core.py, python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/dsl/utils/io.py, python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/streaming/io.py
IR prefetching, engine evaluation, Parquet source construction, and cached source information propagate the hybrid metadata parsing option.
Hybrid scan planning and execution
python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/streaming/io.py
Eligible single-file scans use split plans and two-pass hybrid reads with row-group pruning, device byte-range fetching, column materialization, empty-result handling, and fallback paths.
Hybrid scan and configuration validation
python/cudf_polars/tests/streaming/test_scan.py, python/cudf_polars/tests/streaming/test_stats.py, python/cudf_polars/tests/test_config.py
Tests cover hybrid predicates, projections, fallback predicates, unfiltered scans, fake metadata compatibility, environment parsing, and option validation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 71ef1

The current change can produce inconsistent output or KeyError for scans where all files are pruned, and it adds per-file footer metadata parsing even when hybrid scanning is disabled. These are concrete correctness and performance regressions, so the PR needs fixes or explicit owner acceptance before merge.

90-96: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Include footer-prefetch eligibility in hybrid_single_file.

hybrid_single_file depends only on use_hybrid_scan. Execution also requires cached_parquet_info, as the comment at lines 491-492 states. prefetch_file_metadata defaults to UNSPECIFIED, and the streaming executor then prefetches remote URIs only.

For a local single file with use_hybrid_scan=True and default prefetch, the plan becomes SPLIT_FILES but the hybrid reader never runs. The read still falls back correctly, so this is a plan-shape change with no benefit. Add the prefetch condition to hybrid_single_file so the plan matches the execution path.

ParquetOptions(**user_parquet_options) accepts this field through GPUEngine(parquet_options={...}), but the public ParquetOptions documentation does not describe it. If the field is internal-only, reject it during user configuration parsing. Otherwise, document its benchmarking purpose and environment variable.

In `@python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/dsl/utils/io.py`:
- Around line 123-140: Update _prefetch_parquet_footers_for_paths to accept
use_hybrid_scan and only build and append HybridScanMetadata when enabled,
preserving lazy construction in hybrid_scan_reader otherwise. Extract the
duplicated ParquetReaderOptions construction, including DECIMAL128 width, into a
shared helper for CachedParquetInfo and reuse it from both eager and streaming
paths.
- Around line 56-69: Update hybrid_scan_reader to construct the reader with the
exposed HybridScanReader.from_parquet_metadata(self.file_metadata, options)
factory, removing the unsupported _hybrid_scan_metadata cache and
HybridScanMetadata/from_metadata calls; do not provide a stream.

In `@python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/streaming/io.py`:
- Around line 266-280: Update the all-pruned early return in the row-group
handling to derive col_names directly from schema keys, matching the non-empty
path’s output column set and order; do not use with_columns for this empty-frame
branch.
- Around line 316-333: Update the hybrid Parquet scan schema resolution around
filter_df and payload_df so predicate-only columns are looked up in the full
source schema rather than the projected output schema, avoiding KeyError for
names such as b. Preserve the final select against the requested output schema,
and add a streaming regression test covering a filter-only column followed by
selecting another column.

In `@python/cudf_polars/tests/streaming/test_scan.py`:
- Line 379: Correct the spelling in the fallback comment near the default
parquet reader by changing “fallsback” to “falls back,” leaving the surrounding
code unchanged.
- Around line 373-406: Extend test_split_scan_hybrid to verify execution paths,
not only output: instrument the hybrid reader method _read_with_hybrid_scan (or
reuse an existing execution metric) and assert it runs for the numeric
predicates, while asserting the default parquet reader path for the string
predicate and None case. Keep the existing result comparison and parameterized
coverage, adding only the focused unit-test assertions requested.
