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.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

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

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

    • Added coverage for direct and chunked materialization without page indexes and for equivalent negated filters.

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 filter normalization and sparse-page handling, and adds C++, Java, and Python regression coverage.

Changes

Hybrid scan filtering and payload pruning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Filter normalization and reader state
cpp/src/io/parquet/experimental/hybrid_scan_impl.*
The reader uses shared metadata ownership, normalizes filter expressions, caches row masks, and resets related state.
Row-range selection utilities
cpp/src/io/parquet/experimental/page_index_filter.*
The filtering utilities compute host row-range masks and assemble per-column data-page masks after required stream synchronization.
Decoded-header page masks
cpp/src/io/parquet/experimental/hybrid_scan_impl.cpp
The reader derives data-page masks from decoded headers when offset indexes are unavailable.
Sparse payload and exported scan wiring
cpp/src/io/parquet/experimental/hybrid_scan_chunking.cu, cpp/examples/hybrid_scan_io/hybrid_scan_composer.cpp
Compressed setup supports header-derived masks. The example removes the unsupported specialization and adds an explicit instantiation.
Pruning regression coverage and documentation
java/src/test/java/ai/rapids/cudf/HybridScanReaderTest.java, cpp/tests/io/experimental/hybrid_scan_filters_test.cpp, python/pylibcudf/tests/io/test_experimental_hybrid_scan.py, java/src/main/java/ai/rapids/cudf/HybridScanReader.java
Tests cover no-page-index payload pruning, negated filters, dictionary filtering, and byte-range validation. Documentation describes the fallback behavior.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1ceac

The fallback scan path can omit the supplied row mask, causing scans without offset indexes to read and decompress payload pages that should be pruned; stale documentation and extra synchronizations also remain. Merge should wait for the row-mask fix and explicit owner follow-up on the bounded performance and documentation concerns.

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

std::span<cudf::size_type const> page_row_offsets,
cudf::size_type max_page_size,
cuda::stream_ref stream)

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

Remove the unconditional stream synchronizations. Same-stream ordering is sufficient for compute_page_indices_async and subsequent device work at lines 420 and 587. At line 587, keep stream.sync() only when page_mask->null_count() > 0, because only that branch performs an asynchronous host null-mask copy.

Compute the page-header-based data page mask inside setup_next_pass, in the
dense (non-sparse) branch where page headers have just been decoded, since
sparse page I/O requires a complete offset index and therefore never uses the
page-header path.

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;

   prepare_data(read_mode::CHUNKED_READ, row_group_indices, page_data, {});
