Ensure ParquetOptions.prefetch_file_metadata value of Unspecified is serializable by mroeschke · Pull Request #23684 · NVIDIA/cudf

mroeschke · 2026-08-17T18:54:04Z

Description

After #23558, attempting to write json benchmark results of ParquetOptions.prefetch_file_metadata with a value of Unspecified will error with

  File "/opt/conda/lib/python3.14/json/encoder.py" line 182 in default

    raise TypeError(f'Object of type {o.__class__.__name__} '

                    f'is not JSON serializable')

TypeError: Object of type Unspecified is not JSON serializable

when serializing dict item 'prefetch_file_metadata'

when serializing dict item 'parquet_options'

when serializing dict item 'config_options'

when serializing dict item 'config_options'

This PR just represents Unspecified and None in the serialized JSON.

From a benchmarking result, this is a little unsatisfactory because None is faithful to the "user input" but isn't entirely clear regarding "did prefetch_file_metadata happen?" But that's a larger change that can be tackled later, i.e. can we write an engine config result with knowledge about how prefetch_file_metadata was resolved

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved configuration serialization to preserve explicitly configured values.
- Converted unspecified configuration options into JSON-compatible null values.
- Ensured benchmark configuration output consistently uses the intended representation.
- Improved compatibility when exporting configuration settings for downstream tools and workflows.

Walkthrough

ConfigOptions.dict_factory converts Unspecified values to None during dataclass serialization. RunConfig.serialize uses this factory, and tests verify the conversion.

Changes

Config serialization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
ConfigOptions serialization factory and integration `python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/utils/config.py`, `python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/streaming/benchmarks/utils.py`, `python/cudf_polars/tests/test_config.py`	`ConfigOptions.dict_factory` converts `Unspecified` values to `None`. `RunConfig.serialize` passes the factory to dataclass serialization. Tests verify the serialized `prefetch_file_metadata` value.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e1e6c

The PR makes unspecified Parquet metadata settings JSON-serializable, but its test does not exercise the production serialization entry point, so a wiring regression could still allow benchmark-result serialization failures. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to cover that path.

Test the serialized null contract.

When prefetch_file_metadata is UNSPECIFIED, RunConfig.serialize now emits None. Add an integration test that calls RunConfig.serialize, checks the nested value, and confirms json.dumps(result["config_options"]) succeeds. Verify that downstream readers treat JSON null as “unset”. Add a unit benchmark for this serialization path.

Ok I see what you mean. Yeah that's a good follow-up xref #23680
