Description

Closes #24144, closes #23938.

Adds Java bindings for reusable FilteredJoin, following the patterns for HashJoin/DistinctHashJoin. This enables callers to cache the build side of semi/anti joins and reuse it across probe tables through libcudf's filtered join APIs.

This also aligns some class behavior and tests across FilteredJoin, HashJoin, and DistinctHashJoin:

  • aligns constructor failure cleanup and closed-object handling
  • extracts shared gather-map assertions into common helpers
  • adds more tests for reuse across probe tables for the existing join wrappers
  • aligns some superficial differences in the JNI, and ensures that we always defer to libcudf default arguments to have one source of truth (instead of resupplying the same defaults ourselves)

Checklist

  • I am familiar with the Contributing Guidelines.
  • New or existing tests cover these changes.
  • The documentation is up to date with these changes.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added reusable filtered joins for left semi-join and left anti-join operations.
    • Added configurable null matching, duplicate-key handling, composite-key support, and empty-input support.
    • Added gather-map APIs that reuse filtered joins across multiple probe tables.
    • Expanded join reuse for existing hash joins across multiple probe tables.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved join resource cleanup and closed-state validation.
    • Operations on closed joins now fail clearly while supported metadata remains available.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for reusable joins, null handling, lifecycle behavior, and gather-map results.

Walkthrough

Adds a reusable Java FilteredJoin for left semi and anti joins, with JNI support and gather-map APIs. Updates hash-join cleanup state. Adds lifecycle, reuse, null-handling, validation, and gather-map assertion tests.

Changes

Join lifecycle cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Existing join lifecycle cleanup
java/src/main/java/ai/rapids/cudf/HashJoin.java, java/src/main/java/ai/rapids/cudf/DistinctHashJoin.java, java/src/main/native/src/HashJoinJni.cpp
Hash-based joins now own copied build keys, cache column counts, use cleaner-based failure cleanup, validate native handles, reject repeated close operations, and reject native access after closure.

Filtered join API and native path

Layer / File(s) Summary
Filtered join API and native path
java/src/main/java/ai/rapids/cudf/FilteredJoin.java, java/src/main/java/ai/rapids/cudf/MemoryCleaner.java, java/src/main/java/ai/rapids/cudf/Table.java, java/src/main/native/...
Adds reusable FilteredJoin metadata and cleanup, Java semi/anti gather-map overloads, native filtered-join creation and destruction, and JNI execution bindings.

Join reuse and validation coverage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Join reuse and validation coverage
java/src/test/java/ai/rapids/cudf/AssertUtils.java, java/src/test/java/ai/rapids/cudf/*JoinTest.java, java/src/test/java/ai/rapids/cudf/TableTest.java
Adds shared ordered and unordered gather-map assertions. Tests cover join reuse, composite keys, null equality, empty inputs, column-count validation, and closed-resource behavior.

Explaining some changes that I've also propagated to the other join classes below

this.numberOfColumns = buildKeys.getNumberOfColumns();
this.compareNullsEqual = compareNullsEqual;
Table buildTable = new Table(buildKeys.getColumns());
this.cleaner = new DistinctHashJoinCleaner(buildKeys);

This ensures we have a constructed cleaner before creating the native join. Previously if allocating or initializing the cleaner failed we would only close the build table.

this.nativeHandle = nativeHandle;
addRef();
DistinctHashJoinCleaner(Table buildKeys) {
this.buildKeys = new Table(buildKeys.getColumns());

Building the table here just makes it clear that once construction succeeds, the cleaner owns the table and is responsible for closing.

cleaner.clean(false);
cleaner.delRef();
isClosed = true;
cleaner.clean(false);

Checking isClosed before delRef() prevents a rejected second close from decrementing the refcount, and setting isClosed before clean() ensures the object remains closed even if cleanup throws.
