Description

Accelerate row mask construction using page-level stats in hybrid scan by several-fold.

Old algorithm:

  • Single column: Evaluate filter at page-stats table, expand boolean to row level
  • Multiple columns: Expand stats to row level, evaluate filter at row level

New algorithm:

  • Build segments containing [1, min(page_rows)] each, evaluate filter on segments, expand boolean to row level

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Parquet page-statistics filtering supports multi-column and compound filter expressions.
    • Row masks account for differing page boundaries and null statistics, including all-null pages.
    • Empty row groups and selections with no rows are handled cleanly.
  • Performance
    • Added benchmarks for row-mask generation across data sizes, page alignment, column counts, and filter complexity.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for filters across misaligned page boundaries and all-null pages.

Walkthrough

Changes

The page-index filter evaluates compact min, max, and all-null page statistics across columns. It combines page boundaries into segments and expands segment predicates into row masks. Tests cover misaligned page boundaries and all-null pages. A parameterized benchmark measures row-mask construction across page layouts, row counts, column counts, and expression depths.

Page-statistics row-mask flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Page-statistics row-mask engine
cpp/src/io/parquet/experimental/page_index_filter_utils.*, cpp/src/io/parquet/stats_filter_helpers.hpp
Adds page_statistics_input and compute_row_mask_from_page_stats. The implementation combines page boundaries, maps pages to segments, evaluates statistics expressions, and expands results to rows.
Page-index filter integration
cpp/src/io/parquet/experimental/page_index_filter.cu, python/pylibcudf/tests/io/test_experimental_hybrid_scan.py
Builds min, max, and all-null statistics, validates metadata, handles empty inputs, and routes supported columns through the shared row-mask path. Tests cover misaligned boundaries and all-null page filters.
Benchmark coverage
cpp/benchmarks/io/parquet/experimental/hybrid_scan/page_stats_row_mask.cpp, cpp/benchmarks/CMakeLists.txt
Adds a parameterized benchmark for page-statistics row-mask construction. The benchmark data-generator targets also receive CUDF_CXX_TEST_FLAGS.

Allocate the intermediate segment mask from the temporary memory resource.

compute_column allocates its result with the supplied resource. segment_mask is consumed by the gather and is not returned. The returned row_mask correctly uses mr. The developer guide requires temporary allocations to use cudf::get_current_device_resource_ref().

♻️ Proposed change
   auto segment_mask =
-    cudf::detail::compute_column(page_segments_table, stats_expression.get(), stream, mr);
+    cudf::detail::compute_column(page_segments_table, stats_expression.get(), stream, temp_mr);

Performance Impact

Highlight: Several-fold improvement in speed and peak memory usage across all configurations.

Speed: Median 1.57× speedup (range 1.06×–9.22×). Additionally, the main branch fails at 100M-row configuration requiring large-strings.

Memory: Median: 26.0× less peak memory (range: 21.4×–50.6× less)

Summary

  • Primary metrics: Mean GPU time and peak measured device memory.
  • Δ = (target - main) / main.
  • Significant timing deltas: |Δ| >= 5% AND larger than max(noise) of either side.
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada Generation
  • cpu AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5975WX.
  • Axes: alignment={aligned, misaligned}; rows={100K, 1M, 10M, 100M}; filter columns={2, 4, 8}; expression depth={4, 8} (48 configurations).

Nice optimization! I have a couple of requests I'd like addressed before we proceed though.

Aside from the inline comments, do we have any tests that actually create pages with completely misaligned boundaries? If not, can we add that test? The code seems solid but it would be really good to verify that it works if you have e.g. column A with segment boundaries (0, 50, 70, 110, 150) and column B with (0, 45, 55, 65, 90, 100, 150).

// Filter segment-level statistics using AST expression and return the (BOOL8) predicate column.
auto page_segments_table = cudf::table{std::move(segment_columns)};
auto segment_mask =
cudf::detail::compute_column(page_segments_table, stats_expression.get(), stream, mr);

Could we call this host_per_input_slice_offsets or host_per_input_boundaries, or in some other way distinguish the "offsets" stored here from the page offsets? The current naming uses the same word for two different kinds of offsets, which is confusing.

Ideally we would avoid these allocations. The ideal solution would be rewriting the AST expression itself, but that's a bridge too far here. What if instead of constructing a cudf::table for page_segments_table below, we directly construct a table_view and create column_views for each non-participating column that are just views back into a single placeholder column? You might even be able to avoid an allocation altogether and just view back into one of the real columns if these just don't get used at all, but that feels a bit too hacky to be worth saving one allocation.

Reject mismatched max_values lengths before indexing.

A nonempty page-index path can pass validation when min_values matches page_locations but max_values is shorter. The loop then indexes column_index.max_values[page_idx] for every min_values entry. This unchecked access can invoke undefined behavior instead of rejecting the input.

Suggested fix
           auto const& column_index           = colchunk.column_index.value();
           auto const num_pages_in_colchunk   = column_index.min_values.size();
           auto const page_offset_in_colchunk = col_chunk_page_offsets[page_offset_idx++];

+          CUDF_EXPECTS(column_index.max_values.size() == num_pages_in_colchunk,
+                       "Number of max values must match the number of pages in the column chunk",
+                       std::invalid_argument);
           CUDF_EXPECTS(column_index.null_pages.size() == num_pages_in_colchunk,
                        "Number of null page flags must match the number of pages in the column "
                        "chunk",
                        std::invalid_argument);

Check null_pages before converting empty bounds.

The Parquet ColumnIndex contract requires min_values[i] and max_values[i] to be byte[0] when null_pages[i] is true. set_index treats these empty vectors as present and sends them to numeric conversion, which requires a fixed-width value. The current order can reject a valid all-null numeric page before applying its null-page flag. Move the null-page check before both conversions.

Suggested fix
-              // Translate binary data to Type then to <T>
-              min.set_index(column_page_idx, min_value, colchunk.meta_data.type, ts_scale);
-              max.set_index(column_page_idx, max_value, colchunk.meta_data.type, ts_scale);
               // Check if the page is completely null
               if (column_index.null_pages[page_idx]) {
                 all_null.val[column_page_idx] = true;
                 return;
               }
+              // Translate binary data to Type then to <T>
+              min.set_index(column_page_idx, min_value, colchunk.meta_data.type, ts_scale);
+              max.set_index(column_page_idx, max_value, colchunk.meta_data.type, ts_scale);
