Description

hybrid_scan_reader::filter_row_groups_with_bloom_filters (and the multi-file variant) expects header-stripped, 32-byte aligned bloom filter bitsets, but bloom_filters_byte_ranges returns the byte range of each complete bloom filter, including its Thrift header. Passing those bytes through unchanged makes the reader interpret header bytes as part of the bitset, and it silently prunes row groups that contain matching values. This is the root cause of #24851.

The class-level documentation example in hybrid_scan.hpp and the hybrid_scan_io example (and the test composer) fetch bloom filters with fetch_byte_ranges_to_device(_async), which does not strip the header, so code following the documentation gets wrong results.

Changes:

  • The documentation example, the hybrid_scan_io example, and the test composer now use cudf::io::parquet::fetch_bloom_filters_to_device, which strips the headers and returns 32-byte aligned bitsets.
  • The bloom_filters_byte_ranges notes in hybrid_scan.hpp and hybrid_scan_multifile.hpp now say the ranges include the header and point to fetch_bloom_filters_to_device.
  • filter_row_groups_with_bloom_filters validates that each non-empty bitset is 32-byte aligned and a multiple of 32 bytes long, and throws std::invalid_argument otherwise. A header-included range or an unaligned buffer now fails loudly instead of silently pruning row groups. Empty spans (column chunks without a bloom filter) are still accepted.

Until #24854 lands, cudf-polars' hybrid scan (use_hybrid_scan=True, not the default) will raise this error for Parquet files with bloom filters instead of returning no rows. No existing test covers that path.

A new gtest, HybridScanFiltersTest.FilterRowGroupsWithBloomFiltersValidatesBitsets, covers empty, valid, header-sized, and misaligned spans.

Related: #24851, #24853, #24854, #23515 (length-absent bloom filters).

Possible additional improvement

The pylibcudf docstring for HybridScanReader.filter_row_groups_with_bloom_filters describes its input only as "Span-like objects containing bloom filter data". Once #24853 exposes fetch_bloom_filters_to_device in pylibcudf, the docstring should say the spans must be header-stripped, 32-byte aligned bitsets and point to that function. This fits naturally in #24853.

Checklist

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

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

`filter_row_groups_with_bloom_filters` expects header-stripped, 32-byte
aligned bloom filter bitsets, but `bloom_filters_byte_ranges` returns the
complete bloom filters including their headers. The documentation
example, the hybrid_scan_io example, and the test composer fetched the
raw byte ranges, which made the reader silently prune row groups that
contain matches.

- Use `fetch_bloom_filters_to_device` in the documentation example, the
  hybrid_scan_io example, and the test composer.
- Clarify the `bloom_filters_byte_ranges` notes.
- Throw `std::invalid_argument` from `filter_row_groups_with_bloom_filters`
  when a non-empty bitset is not 32-byte aligned or its size is not a
  multiple of 32 bytes.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Bloom-filter filtering now rejects non-empty bitsets that are not 32-byte aligned or whose size is not a multiple of 32 bytes, with a clear error.
    • Bloom-filter data is fetched in the format expected by row-group filtering, avoiding the need for callers to manage alignment.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified that bloom-filter byte ranges include headers and documented the alignment and size requirements for bitsets.

Hybrid scan now fetches bloom-filter bitsets through the dedicated Parquet API and validates non-empty spans for 32-byte alignment and length. API documentation and examples describe complete filter ranges and header-stripped bitsets. Tests cover accepted and rejected spans.

Changes: Bloom-filter handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fetch bitsets through the dedicated API
cpp/include/cudf/io/experimental/hybrid_scan.hpp, cpp/include/cudf/io/experimental/hybrid_scan_multifile.hpp, cpp/examples/hybrid_scan_io/hybrid_scan_composer.cpp, cpp/tests/io/experimental/hybrid_scan_composer.cpp
The examples now use fetch_bloom_filters_to_device to obtain buffers and header-stripped bitset spans. The API documentation distinguishes complete bloom-filter ranges, including headers, from the bitsets used by filtering.
Validate bitset spans before filtering
cpp/include/cudf/io/experimental/hybrid_scan.hpp, cpp/include/cudf/io/experimental/hybrid_scan_multifile.hpp, cpp/src/io/parquet/hybrid_scan/hybrid_scan_helpers.cpp, cpp/tests/io/experimental/hybrid_scan_filters_test.cpp
Filtering now throws std::invalid_argument for non-empty spans whose address is not 32-byte aligned or whose size is not a multiple of 32. Tests cover empty spans, valid 64-byte spans, and invalid size and alignment.

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Possibly related issues

  • Issue 24851 describes the mismatch between complete filter ranges and the header-stripped, 32-byte-aligned bitsets required by hybrid scan. This change updates the fetch path and validates the bitset format.
  • Issue 24852 identifies bloom-filter pruning as a blocker for making hybrid scan the default reader. This change corrects the fetch path and validates bitsets, but does not change the default.
  • Issue 24604 requests broader Parquet-reader coverage for hybrid scan filtering. This change adds focused tests for bloom-filter bitset validation.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: validating hybrid scan bloom filter bitsets (32-byte alignment and size checks in filter_row_groups_with_bloom_filters) and fixing the fetch examples to use fetch_bloom_filters_to_device. The changeset matches both parts of the title, so it is related to the main change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the root cause (bloom_filters_byte_ranges returns complete filters including Thrift headers, which the reader cannot accept as bitsets), lists the changes to the docs, examples, test composer, and validation logic, and names the new gtest. It matches the changeset closely.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 66.67% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 6 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Include the required cuDF test header.

Add #include <cudf_test/cudf_gtest.hpp> for the new TEST_F. The file currently obtains the test macros through another header. (raw.githubusercontent.com) As per coding guidelines, “Tests not using #include <cudf_test/cudf_gtest.hpp> (never raw gtest/gtest.h)” must be flagged.
