Description

This PR applies three optimizations to libcudf tests:

• Reuse immutable input tables and encoded Parquet data across hybrid-scan tests with identical fixture parameters. Release the cached device allocations before the test memory resource is reset. Results in 12.5% lower hybrid-scan suite runtime
• Validate the large mixed-inner-join results with bulk device-to-host copies instead of transferring each index individually. Results in 58% lower focused mixed-join test runtime
• Pass join-filter predicate arguments directly rather than building and concatenating tuples, reducing NVRTC template expansion while preserving nullable inputs and predicate error propagation. Results in 46% less NVRTC compilation time across the measured join kernels.

The majority of the diff in the PR comes from this name change, which happened because now we are fetching from what is likely a precomputed cache of the tables rather than always creating on the fly.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved join predicate handling for both null-aware and standard filtering paths.
• Tests
  • Reduced repeated setup work in hybrid scan tests by reusing cached Parquet fixtures.
  • Updated join result checks to validate index pairs in batches.

The changes update JIT join predicate argument forwarding, add cached immutable Parquet fixtures for hybrid-scan tests, and change mixed-join test index checks to use host-side batches.

Changes: JIT predicate argument passing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Expand predicate arguments cpp/src/join/jit/filter_join_kernel.cu	execute_predicate_op now accepts variadic arguments. Null-aware and non-null-aware paths pass accessor values directly, with user_data and row_index prepended when enabled.

Hybrid-scan fixture reuse

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Define and populate the fixture cache cpp/tests/io/experimental/hybrid_scan_common.hpp, cpp/tests/io/experimental/hybrid_scan_common.cpp	get_parquet_with_stats returns a pointer to a const table-and-buffer pair. A GTest environment owns cached fixtures until teardown, and the helper looks up or stores entries using the configured cache key.
Use cached fixtures in scan tests cpp/tests/io/experimental/hybrid_scan_filters_test.cpp, cpp/tests/io/experimental/hybrid_scan_multifile_filters_test.cpp, cpp/tests/io/experimental/hybrid_scan_multifile_test.cpp, cpp/tests/io/experimental/hybrid_scan_test.cpp	Tests now obtain fixtures through get_parquet_with_stats and bind returned data by reference. Some expected-reader sources use host_span<char const>.

Mixed join test checks

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Batch join index checks cpp/tests/join/mixed_join_tests.cu	The test copies device indices to host vectors, reserves pair storage, checks matching result-vector sizes, and checks bounds over sorted host-side pairs.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Refactor

Suggested reviewers: pointkernel

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 10213

The changed predicate calls and test fixtures have no established merge-blocking issue; merge after normal checks.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 10213

The inspected changes preserve existing access and privilege boundaries. Shared test-data cleanup and predicate compatibility are supported by the source, but incomplete security verification limits confidence.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The inspected production effect remains within existing in-process GPU join-filter executions using supplied column views, index arrays, result buffers and optional user data. Shared fixture state is confined to the test process; its high dependent count does not itself establish an external security boundary.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• inferred — Caller-supplied CUDA or PTX predicates already enter compilation and GPU execution through the unchanged host builder. This PR changes argument construction, not the available code-execution capability, launch pointers or user-data authority. These existing execution paths are not evidence of a sandbox guarantee.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The kernel still rejects unmatched-index sentinels, treats null inputs as false on the non-null-aware path, and aggregates predicate errors atomically. The host reads the aggregated error and throws before applying join semantics, preserving failure containment for reported predicate errors.
• observed — The fixture cache has no synchronization. Its supported lifetime requires consumers to finish before environment teardown; const results prevent ordinary consumer mutation but do not make concurrent insertion or teardown safe. Concurrent use was not established in the inspected test callers.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% 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 18 functions across 8 files.

Resolution

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

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Cache key does not cover the global srand state, and no lock protects the cache.

The cache key omits the srand(...) seed state. Several tests reseed with srand(...) before the call. Examples are hybrid_scan_multifile_filters_test.cpp lines 110, 341 and 496. The cache returns the first-built fixture for later seeds.

The key omits the seed, so tests that expect distinct per-source data now get identical data. testdata::ascending<T>() and descending<T>() are deterministic, so this is probably harmless today. A later change to the fixtures that adds rand() would silently break those tests.

stats_fixtures->inputs is also a plain std::map with no mutex. Concurrent test threads would race on it. GTest runs tests serially, so this is low risk.

Add a comment at the key definition that the fixture content must not depend on global RNG state. This keeps the invariant visible.

Temporarily returning this PR to draft and using it to investigate an unrelated, intermittent C++ test failure that has also been observed outside this PR. The failure is a segmentation fault in TRANSFORM_TEST, during TernaryOperationTest.TransformWithScalar; the same failure is present in a main-branch nightly run: https://github.com/NVIDIA/cudf/actions/runs/42453179044/job/128646571283. We are adding temporary focused H100 diagnostics to capture the crash and compare async versus pool allocation. Those diagnostic changes will be removed before this PR returns to review; the intended scope remains the three test/JIT optimizations described above.
