Description

This PR enables the hybrid scan reader to still prune data pages after page header decode (save decompression and decode) using the row mask when offset index is not present.

Note that list column pages cannot be pruned in this fallback method as list rows may spill across page boundaries when offset index is absent.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added payload page pruning for Parquet files without page indexes by using decoded page headers.
    • Improved row-range filtering and page-mask generation for direct and chunked materialization.
    • Preserved list-column pages during page selection.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Reduced unnecessary decoding of unselected pages.
    • Improved handling of sparse page data and compressed payloads.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for no-page-index payload materialization, page pruning, and row-count preservation.

Walkthrough

This change adds payload page pruning without Parquet offset indexes. The reader derives page masks from decoded headers, applies them to direct and chunked materialization, updates row-mask handling and sparse-page setup, and adds C++, Java, and Python regression coverage.

Changes

Hybrid scan filtering and payload pruning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mutable row-mask contract and reader state
cpp/include/cudf/io/experimental/hybrid_scan*.hpp, cpp/src/io/parquet/experimental/hybrid_scan*.cpp, java/src/main/native/..., python/pylibcudf/...
Filter-column chunking now accepts mutable row-mask views. The reader caches normalized masks and clears them during reset.
Row-range selection utilities
cpp/src/io/parquet/experimental/page_index_filter*
The filtering utilities normalize null masks, compute selected row ranges with CUDA helpers, and build data-page masks.
Decoded-header page masks
cpp/src/io/parquet/experimental/hybrid_scan_impl.cpp, cpp/src/io/parquet/experimental/hybrid_scan_chunking.cu
Payload reads derive page masks from decoded headers when offset indexes are unavailable. Dictionary pages are excluded, and nested-column pages remain selected.
Scan wiring and regression validation
cpp/examples/..., cpp/tests/..., java/src/test/..., python/pylibcudf/tests/..., java/src/main/...
The supported scan instantiation is exported. Direct and chunked no-page-index payload pruning tests validate filtered row counts and values.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 181cc

The new fallback enables page pruning without offset indexes, but the current implementation can use a row mask after its owning object is released and still has a page-selection contract violation that may produce incorrect scan results or runtime failures. Merge should wait until these issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

This function is actually simpler than it looks. We are essentially doing the same thing as in _extended_metadata->compute_data_page_mask(). Here's the rundown:

Go over all pages and:

  • dict page: not needed since we want a data page mask.
  • data page of list col: push -1 to row_range_map meaning we will inject a true in the final mask for it. (See comment on L1272)
  • data page: first page in the chunk, push start row and end row, otherwise just push end row to page_row_offsets.

Call the compute_row_range_selection_mask to get a row rang mask and gather the final data page mask using it and the row_range_map

This helper is literally just moved version of code from LHS. See the big red block on lhs in compute_data_page_mask. We just call this helper from compute_data_page_mask. This is done so we can call this helper from compute_data_page_mask_with_page_headers() function you just saw above in hybrid_scan_impl.cpp

624-624: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Initialize _row_mask for sparse page input.

compute_data_page_mask_with_page_headers() reads _row_mask at Line 1499. The page_data overload in cpp/src/io/parquet/experimental/hybrid_scan_impl.cpp resets this member during prepare_materialization() and calls prepare_data() without assigning its row_mask parameter. Sparse scans without offset indexes therefore cannot prune payload pages from the supplied row mask.

Set _row_mask = row_mask before prepare_data() in that overload. Add a regression test for this path.

Proposed fix
   // Mark that we are using page-level I/O for payload columns
   _sparse_page_io = true;
+  _row_mask       = row_mask;

Removed the check. Though I don't think adding a test for this is necessary since no hybrid scan API produces a row mask with nulls. Even if so, these nulls are only interpreted as true when pruning filter col pages (we update the row mask with the final state of rows kept and make it non-nullable as we materialize the filter columns). For payload columns we require non-nullable here anyway

build_row_mask_with_page_index_stats returns a nullable mask and any conjunct against an absent statistic evaluates to null. E.g. cudf's writer omits min/max for a float or double column containing a NaN, so page stats are absent and the row mask comes back with nulls. compute_data_page_mask runs at the top of materialize_filter_columns on the caller's mask exactly as handed in, while update_row_mask only forces validity at the end, so the nullable mask is what page pruning actually sees.

So the missing test is: write a table with a double column containing a NaN, build the row mask from page-index stats, materialize filter columns with use_data_page_mask::YES, and assert the rows under the null entries survive.

In the no-offset-index case the work is done twice: each call site invokes compute_data_page_mask(), which validates, runs are_all_rows_retained(), collects schema indices, then bails out at page_index_filter.cu:788, after which setup_next_pass()runsare_all_rows_retained() again. Consider computing the data page mask in one place (setup_next_pass, which already has both paths in view), or skipping the metadata call when _has_offset_index` is false.

Moved computation of data_page_mask at a central location inside prepare_data (when offset index is present along with input row mask) in 3e576ad, or (as existing) inside setup_next_pass (no offset index and input row mask) using page headers.

* there is no limit
* @param row_group_indices Input row groups indices
* @param row_mask Boolean column indicating which rows need to be read
* @param[in,out] row_mask Mutable boolean column indicating surviving rows

I think it's now clear with the call site in 3e576ad

cuda::stream_ref stream)
{
// Need at least two offsets (or one range) to search the Fenwick tree
if (page_row_offsets.size() < 2) return thrust::host_vector<bool>{};
