From 5b3cb2e43cf3876e4bd259ed1f4b425cbe2cafa1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Isaacs Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 09:15:55 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] bench: exercise the morsel reader in CI Copy the complete morsel prototype onto current develop and route the compression and random-access Vortex benchmark lanes through it. Unsupported measurements are omitted so the throwaway CI run can survey partial coverage.

A call such as: + +```text +projection_evaluation(rows = [0..100,000), mask) +``` + +requires the reader subtree to account for the complete `[0..100,000)` range. A chunked reader can +divide that request among several child readers internally, but its future resolves only when it +can return the compact values for the whole split. A child cannot return `[0..32,768)` and ask its +parent to resume the suffix later. + +The split therefore serves three roles at once: + +- a unit of scan concurrency; +- an internal pacing boundary; and +- usually one output-stream batch. + +Backpressure applies when the root stream waits before starting or yielding another split. It does +not apply independently at every parent-child edge inside the reader tree. + +### Plan v2: the same top-down unit over a generic plan + +Plan v2 changes how the physical work is represented and how natural boundaries are discovered, +but not this execution contract. Scan-v2 selects a split and calls the root plan with its exact +range and mask: + +```text +root.execute(rows = [0..100,000), mask) +``` + +Structural operators derive exact child requests from that envelope. `Pack` asks all row-equivalent +children for `[0..100,000)`. `Concat` partitions the range at chunk boundaries and gathers every +overlapping child result. `ListPack` reads enough offsets and elements to reconstruct that entire +outer range. The root future still produces exactly the split's selected cardinality. + +The plan is generic and rewriteable, but execution remains **root-paced**: a boundary chosen before +the recursive calls controls every row-equivalent subtree below it. + +### `layout27`: a fixed morsel with finer scheduling + +In the full `layout27` design, split hints are converted into fixed morsels before their value tasks +run. The central scheduler chooses which ready task or continuation to admit next, using lanes, +priorities, read dependencies, and byte budgets. It does not normally renegotiate the morsel's row +end. + +For a `[0..100,000)` morsel, the scheduler can interleave work such as: + +```text +evidence setup + -> evidence probe for [0..100,000) + -> residual predicate read for [0..100,000) + -> projection read for [0..100,000) +``` + +A `ReadTask` may return `Continue` and expose a second set of data-dependent reads. That makes the +steps inside one morsel dynamic, but the final array still satisfies the preselected morsel. The +scheduler owns **when and in what phase** work runs; the preplanning layer still owns **which dense +rows constitute the unit**. + +At the `ji/layout27` tip described here, ordinary scans use bound V1 readers, so their effective +unit of work remains the V1 split. + +### Proposed model: a fixed morsel containing child-chosen prefixes + +The outer scheduler first assigns a configurable fixed morsel, such as `[0..100,000)`, to one +execution activation. Inside that morsel, the proposed model divides ownership of each batch +boundary: + +- the parent specifies the maximum outstanding range, immutable sealed demand, and soft size + target; +- resource credits provide a hard upper bound; and +- the child chooses how much of the range's next contiguous prefix it can efficiently produce now. + +Suppose a parent has an outstanding request for `[0..100,000)`. A segment child may stop at a page +boundary and return `[0..32,768)`. The successful result commits that prefix. The parent then +continues with `[32,768..100,000)`; it does not retry or recompute the first prefix. + +For a row-wise parent, child boundaries need not match: + +```text +outstanding parent request: [0..10) + +field A returns: [0..4) +field B returns: [0..3) + +Pack emits: [0..3) +Pack retains: A's [3..4) tail +next request: begins at row 3 +``` + +The child chooses only the prefix end. It cannot change the start, skip rows, exceed the parent +range, or return a disconnected interval. This restriction gives layouts useful sizing freedom +without requiring a general interval join or unbounded reordering buffers in every parent. + +The prefix is committed only by a `Batch` result. Before that, one run-to-quiescence `drive` +call may register reads for one child and CPU work for another through stable tickets. It returns +`Blocked` only after exposing all independent work, and completion events merely wake it to +inspect durable ticket state. Static reads are described once for the whole morsel; data-dependent +operators expand explicit gates when new offsets, codes, or evidence become available. + +The resulting inner unit is **negotiated and edge-local** rather than fixed globally: + +- a leaf stops at a natural physical boundary; +- a parent may shorten that result to align siblings; +- backpressure limits how far each edge advances; +- a root rebatcher combines or slices internal prefixes for stable consumer batches; and +- fixed morsels open independent parallel graphs, but no longer dictate every internal array + boundary. + +This is the intended meaning of "each layout can return an array of whatever size it likes": it can +choose any safe, non-empty prefix within the request and resource budget, while its parent assumes +responsibility for slicing, buffering, and alignment. + +## What each approach optimizes for + +### V1: behavior and coverage + +V1 has the widest set of mature layout-specific behaviors. It can specialize dictionary, list, +struct, chunked, zoned, and row-index reads while overlapping projection registration with filter +resolution. Its cost is architectural: the stateful reader tree is simultaneously the physical +plan, expression partitioner, executor, child cache, and split provider. + +### Plan v2: a clean physical IR + +Plan v2 gives optimization a layout-independent operator tree. `Concat`, `Pack`, `Take`, +`ListPack`, `Eval`, and `SegmentScan` describe work rather than mirroring layout types. Execution, +however, is still externally paced: every call names an exact row range and mask, and every child +must return exactly that selected cardinality. + +### `layout27`: explicit preparation and scheduling + +The broader `layout27` design cleanly separates immutable scan plans from per-scan state and makes +I/O dependencies visible to a scheduler. It introduces useful concepts such as selection versus +demand, prepared read routes, continuations, evidence, read phases, priorities, and byte budgets. +At commit `9734b85de4`, the `ji/layout27` branch uses a hybrid path for ordinary scans: expressions +are pushed into `ScanPlan`s, but bound readers delegate actual pruning, filtering, and projection to +V1 `LayoutReader` methods. + +### Self-paced execution: local batching and global control + +The proposed model keeps plan v2's operator IR and adopts `layout27`'s explicit runtime and I/O +ideas. Static reads are catalogued once, exact mask refinement stays in a root demand ledger, and +projection planning may use immutable open snapshots to offer candidate I/O while exact or fallible +value execution uses sealed windows. A drive call registers any mix of scheduler-owned I/O and CPU +work and runs until it returns a prefix batch, blocks on tickets, finishes, or yields for fairness. +Parents own cursors that slice and align child batches, while a root rebatcher adapts natural +internal batches to consumer-facing sizes. Several fixed morsels provide outer scan parallelism; +self-paced execution happens independently inside each one. + +## Decision matrix + +| Requirement | Best source to retain | Reason | +| --- | --- | --- | +| Proven layout semantics | V1 | It is the compatibility baseline for complex layouts and masks. | +| Rewritable physical operators | Plan v2 | Operators are independent of the layout that produced them. | +| Immutable plan and per-scan state separation | `layout27` | Preparation and state initialization are explicit. | +| Scheduler-visible I/O | `layout27` | Required reads, prefetches, phases, priorities, and bytes are first-class. | +| Natural, variable output sizes | Proposed model | Prefix progress lets each subtree select an efficient batch size. | +| Correct row-wise composition | Proposed model | Parent cursors make alignment an explicit invariant. | +| Stable consumer batches | Proposed model | Root rebatching isolates consumers from internal fragmentation. | + +## Recommendation + +Adopt the proposed model as an evolution of plan v2, not as a fifth layout reader API: + +```text +LayoutRef + -> layout-specific lowering +PlanRef immutable and rewriteable + -> open scan +ScanState domains, edge maps, ReadCatalog spine, reusable caches + -> assign configurable fixed morsels +DemandLedger refine exact masks and seal windows +MorselExec drive one mutable graph per worker unit + -> register I/O and CPU tickets + -> Batch | Blocked | Done | Yield + -> self-paced ExecBatch values +Root RebatchExec + -> ArrayStream consumer-sized output +``` + +The implementation should retain: + +- V1 as the semantic oracle during migration; +- plan v2's generic operator identities and rewrites; +- `layout27`'s selection/demand distinction and explicit read scheduling, refined into an open + demand ledger plus sealed execution demand; and +- fixed split hints only for creating independent execution graphs, not for forcing every node to + return a fixed-size array. + +The implementation should avoid: + +- storing mutable stream cursors or per-scan caches in `PlanRef`; +- rebuilding per-scan facts, such as the read catalog or a dictionary value domain, once per morsel; +- allowing a child to return an arbitrary disconnected interval; +- letting a parent's batch count scale with its child count when those children could have aligned; +- reimplementing coordinate translation per operator, per catalog, and per split walker; +- treating a zero-length value array as lack of progress when its dense row coverage advanced; and +- exposing small layout-native fragments directly to scan consumers. + +## Why prefix progress is the key restriction + +"Any array size" must not mean "any rows." If a child could return an arbitrary interval, every +parent would need a general interval join, unbounded reordering buffers, and substantially more +complex error handling. The useful freedom is narrower: + +> A node may return any non-empty prefix of the outstanding row request that fits its natural +> boundaries and current resource credits. + +That rule preserves streaming progress and bounded parent state while still allowing flat +segments, chunks, pages, dictionaries, and list elements to choose efficient units. + +## Migration outline + +1.

Readers can specialize +how the request is fulfilled, but they cannot return a shorter or longer row prefix. + +## Reader responsibilities + +A reader may own or cache: + +- layout metadata and decoded indexes; +- lazily constructed child readers; +- expression partitions and layout-specific rewrites; +- segment-read state and shared futures; +- split discovery logic; and +- pruning, filter, and projection implementations. + +This concentration of responsibilities is why V1 is capable but difficult to optimize globally. +An optimizer cannot inspect or replace a generic `Take` or `Pack` node because those operations are +implicit in reader implementations. + +## Split execution + +`vortex-layout/src/scan/tasks.rs` constructs one future for each selected split. Within a split it: + +1. starts with the scan selection mask; +2. applies pruning for each filter conjunct; +3. evaluates remaining conjuncts in adaptive order; +4. constructs projection evaluation with the unresolved filter mask; and +5. awaits the final mask and projected array. + +Constructing projection before awaiting the filter mask is deliberate. It lets readers register +segment reads early, so predicate and projection paths can share an in-flight request. A reader is +encouraged to defer consuming the mask until I/O has been registered or completed. + +This is useful latency hiding, but the I/O scheduler sees the consequences indirectly through +future construction. Required reads, speculative reads, priorities, and byte costs are not part of +the `LayoutReader` interface. + +## How composite layouts execute + +### Chunked + +The chunked reader intersects the caller's exact range with each relevant chunk, slices the mask, +delegates to the child readers, and concatenates their arrays in chunk order. Chunk boundaries also +provide natural split candidates. + +### Struct + +The struct reader partitions expressions by field, evaluates field readers over the same range and +mask, and packs their compact arrays. It can cache partitioned expressions, but the partitioning is +reader-specific rather than a generic plan rewrite. + +### Dictionary + +The dictionary reader treats codes and values differently. Codes use the outer row domain. Values +use the dictionary domain and may be read once or restricted to referenced values. This behavior is +specialized inside the reader rather than represented as a generic `Take` operator. + +### List + +The list reader bridges multiple coordinate systems: + +- outer list rows; +- offsets, including the extra terminal offset; +- element rows derived from the selected offsets; and +- optional outer validity. + +It also maps split hints from the element domain back to outer rows. This is necessarily heuristic +without reading offsets and illustrates why fixed outer split discovery is awkward for nested data. + +### Zoned + +The zoned reader evaluates pruning information from zone metadata and delegates surviving value +work to its data child. Pruning and value execution remain methods of the same reader tree. + +## Strengths + +- It is the mature implementation with broad layout and expression coverage. +- Layout-specific code can make informed decisions using physical metadata. +- Exact range and mask contracts make row-wise parent composition simple. +- Early future construction overlaps and deduplicates I/O in existing segment sources. +- Fixed split tasks provide straightforward concurrency and ordered output. + +## Limitations + +- Physical planning, expression pushdown, runtime state, and execution are coupled. +- Generic rewrites across layout types are difficult. +- Expressions can be repartitioned at each split boundary. +- Every subtree is paced by an externally selected exact range. +- Fixed split size controls both concurrency and batching, even when a layout has a better natural + unit. +- Scheduler policy cannot directly reason about logical read bytes or task phase. +- Nested and lookup layouts must force different row domains into one split-oriented API. + +## Role in a replacement + +V1 should remain the semantic oracle while a new executor is introduced.

Its responsibilities include: + +- creating or reusing per-scan state; +- pushing an expression into the plan's row domain; +- preparing a value-read route; +- preparing split discovery; +- preparing exact or candidate predicate evidence; +- preparing aggregate partials; and +- exposing metadata statistics. + +Layouts construct plans through a vtable hook rather than a central switch. That makes plan +lowering extensible to registered layout implementations. + +Runtime state is keyed by plan identity in a scan state cache. Prepared handles bind a fixed route +through the plan to that state without making the `ScanPlanRef` mutable. + +## Selection and demand + +`layout27` introduces a useful distinction through `RowScope`: + +```rust +pub struct RowScope<'a> { + pub selection: &'a Mask, + pub demand: &'a Mask, +} +``` + +Both masks use the same dense row coordinates, and `demand` must be a subset of `selection`. + +- `selection` identifies rows still semantically live. +- `demand` identifies rows whose values the current operation actually needs. + +This allows a layout to choose between compact reads and dense reads with sparse downstream +materialization. It also provides a better vocabulary for predicates, projections, and lookup +operators than one overloaded mask. + +## Prepared reads and continuations + +A `PreparedRead` represents a fixed, reusable read route. For one range and owned row scope it +creates a morsel-level `ReadTask`: + +```rust +fn create_task( + self: Arc, + range: Range, + rows: OwnedRowScope, + phase: ScanIoPhase, +) -> VortexResult>; +``` + +Converting a task into a step exposes: + +- required reads that must complete before computation; +- prefetch reads that may run speculatively; and +- a continuation that returns either the final array or another `ReadTask`. + +The `Continue` result lets a complex layout reveal dependencies incrementally. For example, one +step can read codes or offsets and a later step can formulate the value or element read that those +buffers imply. + +## Scheduler-visible I/O + +Every logical read has an opaque deduplication key, estimated bytes, phase, priority, and +cancellation group. The scheduler maintains a scan-wide resolved-read store and admits work under a +logical read-byte budget. + +Tasks are assigned to lanes: + +- scan-wide evidence; +- morsel evidence; +- residual predicate evaluation; +- projection; and +- aggregate work. + +This makes policy explicit. Unlike V1 and current plan v2, the scheduler does not have to infer I/O +intent from the order in which futures happen to be constructed. + +## Evidence and residual work + +Prepared evidence can describe ranges that are proven true, proven false, or still candidates. +The scan combines evidence fragments and schedules exact predicate reads only for residual demand. +Evidence can be scan-scoped or morsel-scoped, and dynamic predicates can trigger rechecks before +projection. + +This separates cheap metadata reasoning from exact value evaluation without pretending that a +metadata proof is itself a projected boolean array. + +## Fixed morsels + +Despite the more explicit scheduler, the data source still divides a scan into fixed row morsels. +Each prepared read task receives one exact range and returns the array for that request. Natural +split hints inform the morsel plan, and a completion frontier releases state behind finished rows. + +The scheduler controls which morsel step runs next, but a child does not independently choose a +shorter output prefix. Parent alignment therefore remains implicit in the shared morsel boundary. + +## Actual path at the `ji/layout27` tip + +Commit `9734b85de4` is titled `Use ScanPlan planning with LayoutReader execution`. Its normal scan +path is intentionally hybrid: + +```text +LayoutRef + -> construct both LayoutReaderRef and ScanPlanRef +ScanBuilder + -> use ScanPlan::try_push_expr for projection and predicates +ExpressionBoundLayoutReader + -> retain the pushed plan as _plan + -> delegate pruning/filter/projection to the V1 LayoutReader +bound_split_exec + -> mirror V1 split execution +``` + +`ScanPlanLayoutReader` pairs the V1 reader with the plan. Split discovery still delegates to V1. +`ExpressionBoundLayoutReader` removes expressions from the execution method signatures, but its +methods call the underlying V1 reader with the stored expression. The pushed `_plan` proves that +planning succeeded but does not execute the prepared-read graph on this path. + +Consequently, results from that branch tip demonstrate expression binding plus V1 execution. They +do not by themselves validate the full prepared-task scheduler as the ordinary file-scan path. + +## Strengths + +- Immutable planning and mutable runtime state have a clear boundary. +- Per-layout plan construction is extensible. +- Expressions cross the planning boundary once rather than at every split call. +- Selection and demand are modeled separately. +- Multi-step reads support data-dependent dependencies such as offsets and dictionary codes. +- Read cost, phase, priority, deduplication, cancellation, and prefetch are explicit. +- Evidence, residual predicates, projection, and aggregation share one scheduling vocabulary. +- A release frontier bounds retained state for ordered progress. + +## Limitations + +- The API surface and scheduler state machine are substantially more complex than V1 or plan v2. +- Fixed morsels still dictate returned array size. +- Layout plan implementations contain significant task-construction machinery. +- Correctness spans plan pushdown, prepared state, evidence combination, scheduler lanes, and task + continuations, increasing the verification burden. +- The hybrid tip retains two trees and uses the V1 tree for actual value execution. +- Evaluating the branch without distinguishing the hybrid path can overstate how much of the new + executor is exercised end to end. + +## Lessons for the proposed model + +The following ideas should be retained: + +- layout-vtable lowering into a generic plan; +- a per-scan state cache separate from the plan; +- selection versus demand; +- prepared, scheduler-visible logical reads; +- required and speculative read sets; +- continuation-based data-dependent I/O; +- evidence as a side channel; and +- byte-budgeted admission and release frontiers. + +The fixed-morsel result contract should be replaced with prefix-progress batches, and the prepared +runtime should be opened as an explicit execution-node tree.

It is +not a thread, an I/O request, or an output batch. + +The immutable plan node says what the operator is and owns reusable metadata.

A morsel holds a shared `PlanRef` and +exclusively owns the exec arena containing its local state: + +~~~rust +struct MorselExec { + root_plan: PlanRef, // shared, immutable query plan + root_exec: NodeId, + nodes: ExecArena, // uniquely owned by this morsel +} + +struct ExecBase { + plan: PlanRef, // operator metadata used by this activation + rows: Range, // the owned slice in this node's domain + plan_pc: PlanPc, // local refinement cursor + exec_pc: ExecPc, // local value-execution cursor + children: Vec, // only children opened for this slice +} +~~~ + +Refinement reads the shared plan and creates or updates nodes in the morsel's arena. It never +rewrites the shared `PlanRef`. For example, refining a chunked activation finds the chunks that +overlap this morsel, obtains those immutable child plans, maps the intersections into child-local +ranges, and opens only those child activations in `nodes`. + +Current `PlanChildren` already separates these concerns partially: `PlanRef::child` may lazily +lower and cache an immutable logical child for the whole query. The new per-morsel refinement sits +after that operation. Morsel-specific ranges, demand, tickets, and progress must live in the exec +arena rather than the shared `PlanChildren` cache. + +Conceptually: + +```text +immutable PlanNode per-morsel ExecNode +------------------ ------------------- +operator and dtype open row range +children ----> child exec nodes +chunk/segment metadata planning cursor +expressions execution cursor and buffers + request leases + BEGIN -> WORK -> RETIRE +``` + +The exec node has two independently resumable surfaces: + +1. **planning** reveals future work without doing the operator's value computation; and +2. **execution** performs CPU work and produces the logical value stream. + +A parent owns traversal of its children on both surfaces. The root's planning stream therefore +covers every request currently discoverable in its subtree, without requiring the scheduler to +understand operator types. + +Both `next_plan` and `execute` take `&mut self`. The scheduler guarantees that only one of them is +active for a morsel at a time. They may be interleaved arbitrarily, but cannot concurrently mutate +the same activation. I/O continues independently because it owns stable tickets and cache cells, +not a borrow of the exec node. + +This differs from the current `PlanVTable::execute` contract, which recursively constructs a +single future for an exact row range. The current lowering is still a useful starting IR: flat, +chunked, and struct layouts lower to `SegmentScan`, `Concat`, and `Pack`; those plan nodes would +open `FlatExec`, `ChunkedExec`, and `StructExec` instances under this model. + +## Morsels + +A morsel is a contiguous range in a row domain and the primary unit of parallel ownership: + +~~~rust +struct Morsel { + id: MorselId, + domain: DomainId, + rows: Range, + kind: MorselKind, +} + +enum MorselKind { + Scan, + // Later: + Filter, + Projection, +} +~~~ + +The first implementation should use one scan morsel for filter and projection, targeting roughly +131,072 rows. This is a target, not an alignment requirement. A second limit based on estimated +live bytes should prevent very wide projections from making one morsel too large. + +Morsel boundaries deliberately do not have to match physical chunk or segment boundaries. When a +physical request straddles two morsels: + +1. both morsels register the same stable request key; +2. the read/decode cache joins them to one request cell; +3. each exec node takes a lease and slices the shared array to its local rows; and +4. `RETIRE` releases that morsel's lease. The cache may evict only after its final user retires + and no returned array retains the underlying buffers. + +The request cell is scan-wide; execution progress and slice objects remain morsel-local. This is +the narrow cross-morsel sharing needed to make fixed morsels independent of storage geometry. + +## Core contracts + +The pseudocode uses an arena-friendly `NodeId`, although direct boxes could implement the same +contract. + +~~~rust +trait PlanNode: Send + Sync { + fn open(&self, morsel: &Morsel, cx: &mut OpenCx) -> NodeId; +} + +trait ExecNode { + /// Reveal one bounded quantum of I/O or further planning. + fn next_plan(&mut self, cx: &mut PlanCx) -> PlanPoll; + + /// Perform bounded CPU/state-machine work. + fn execute(&mut self, cx: &mut ExecCx) -> ExecPoll; + + /// Cancel unused candidates and release all morsel-owned leases and buffers. + fn retire(&mut self, cx: &mut RetireCx); +} + +enum NodePhase { + Begin, + Work, + Retire, + Done, +} +~~~ + +The sketches omit the outer `VortexResult<...>` on fallible methods so the state transitions stay +visible.

It is schedulable only in the sense that the +scheduler chooses when to grant that morsel another mutable planning turn; it is not packaged as a +separate task. + +The following invariant keeps planning and execution consistent: **an exec node may block only on +a ticket already emitted by its planning stream, or return `Plan` before the later internal +refinement that will emit that ticket**. This prevents hidden I/O from appearing in `execute` while +keeping ownership of planning state entirely inside the morsel. + +## Retirement and cancellation + +`RETIRE` is semantically useful, not just a destructor: + +- remove this morsel's uses from shared I/O cells; +- cancel unissued speculative uses whose remaining user set is empty; +- release decoded-array leases and buffered child tails; +- detach waiters so late completions do not wake a dead morsel; and +- allow a straddling request to become evictable after the last overlapping morsel retires. + +A node retires only after it has returned `Done` and its parent has consumed or released every +value it emitted. Parent retirement recursively retires unfinished children during cancellation +or error unwinding. + +## Separate filter and projection morsels later + +One row target is unlikely to fit both sides forever. Filter columns are often narrow, while a +projection can contain many wide values; occasionally the reverse is true. The model should later +permit two morsel classes without changing operator contracts: + +```text +FilterMorsel(rows = a..b) + -> sealed SelectionBatch values + +ProjectionMorsel(rows chosen by target projected bytes) + -> consumes one or more sealed SelectionBatch slices + -> runs projection subtree and FILTER +``` + +Filter morsels can be sized for predicate throughput. Projection morsels can be sized from +estimated bytes per surviving row and memory credits. A projection morsel may split or combine +filter selections because every batch carries explicit dense coverage. + +This extension needs an ordered selection queue between the two classes and a rule for limit and +cancellation propagation. It does not need a second `ExecNode` API. + +## Working decisions and open questions + +The following are decisions for the first prototype: + +1. One per-morsel exec node per physical plan node. +2. One initial scan-morsel class, about 128K rows with a byte cap. +3. Fixed morsels may cut physical arrays; stable keyed cache cells join straddling uses. +4. Planning is the resumable `IO([task]) | Plan` stream above. +5. `Plan` yields before internal refinement; the next `next_plan(&mut self)` call performs a + bounded quantum inside the same morsel exec. It is never a detached task. +6. Execution returns `Done | Blocked(WaitSet) | Yield(Progress) | Value(ValueBatch)`. +7. Composite nodes poll every independent child before returning `Blocked`. +8. `RETIRE` releases leases and cancels dead speculative uses. + +Questions to answer with the prototype: + +- Should the shared cache retain decoded arrays or only read buffers? Start with decoded arrays + for the straddling case and measure retained bytes and decode reuse. +- How much work may one internal planning quantum perform before returning another `Plan`? Use a + transition/row budget and tune against I/O queue depth. +- How much out-of-order CPU look-ahead should `CHUNKED` permit? Start with zero or one head per + child and measure memory versus latency hiding. +- Which nodes are safe to execute on open demand? Reads and slicing are safe; projection kernels + that can trap on discarded rows require sealed demand. +- When should filter and projection split into separate morsel queues? Add this only after the + single-morsel version reports per-side live bytes and time. + +## Correctness properties for the prototype + +At minimum, deterministic tests should vary I/O completion and child polling order and assert: + +1. Every root row belongs to exactly one morsel of its class. +2. Every `ValueBatch` begins at its node's committed cursor and advances dense coverage. +3. `STRUCT` emits only aligned field coverage and retains every unconsumed tail exactly once. +4. `CHUNKED` emits in logical row order even if later children complete first. +5. `FILTER` output length equals the mask population, while output coverage equals dense input + progress. +6. `CONJUNCT_PARALLEL` produces the same mask for every completion order. +7. `Blocked` always names a live event and is returned only after polling independent siblings. +8. `Yield` always records progress. +9. A physical request shared by two morsels is issued once and remains live until both retire. +10. Cancelling or retiring a morsel cannot wake it or evict storage still leased by another + morsel. diff --git a/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/morsel-prototype-handoff.md b/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/morsel-prototype-handoff.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..0bef28ff33e --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/morsel-prototype-handoff.md @@ -0,0 +1,292 @@ +# Morsel Prototype: Handoff + +Everything needed to re-run the morsel-executor evaluation on other hardware and interpret what +comes back.

What the eval guarantees + +`tpch-eval` validates **before it times anything**: every configuration's output is compared to +V1's on dtype, row count and ordered content, and a mismatch aborts the run rather than quietly +dropping a row from the table. If you see a timing table, the exactness check passed for every +row in it. Then five alternating iterations are run by default, with median and min/max reported. + +The morsel executor rejects at build time anything outside its scope (nested structs, non-struct +roots, nullable root structs, non-flat/non-chunked columns), so an unsupported query can never be +timed as if it had run. + +## 3. Current executor and measured results + +The scheduler has one affinity-owned active morsel per worker. Its arena and partial operator state +never migrate. Planning registers keyed cells and divides them into required and speculative +batches. Speculative batches enter the shared normal-priority I/O queue immediately; required +batches remain dormant until execution asks for one of their tickets. + +`ExecCx::ready` is the only inline I/O point. For a local file it calls +`preadv2(..., RWF_NOWAIT)`: a page-cache hit returns the segment synchronously, while `EAGAIN` +creates the normal segment futures, suspends the morsel on its exact ticket, and promotes the +whole required batch to the shared urgent queue. Other workers poll that queue while their own +morsels are suspended. Completion wakes only the ticket owner; stale generation/epoch wakes are +ignored. Filesystem/source lack of `RWF_NOWAIT` support is remembered scan-wide, after which +required reads take the background path directly. `execute` therefore makes an explicitly +non-waiting syscall, but never polls a background future, performs a blocking read, or parks the +worker. + +One 128k-row morsel supplies substantial I/O concurrency: depending on the query it names about +5–16 logical segment uses, creates about 3.5–14 new requests, and groups them into one or two +batches. A cold miss on the first required ticket submits the complete required batch, not only +that ticket. In +the x16 cold runs, every 128k morsel blocked about 1.8–2.7 times. `POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED` is +advisory, so some queries retained pages and made more than one NOWAIT attempt before falling back. + +Hot XFS results from two complete five-iteration runs, using one thread per physical core and the +128k-row primary morsel (median range across the two runs): + +| query | best V1 x16 | morsel x16/128k | result | +|---|--:|--:|---| +| Q6 | 6.976–7.543 ms | 4.325–4.409 ms | morsel wins | +| Q1 | 5.736–6.199 ms | 6.406–6.606 ms | V1 wins by 3–15% | +| Q14 | 5.806–5.890 ms | 3.945–4.133 ms | morsel wins | +| Q15 | 4.918–5.154 ms | 3.886–3.928 ms | morsel wins | +| Q12 | 7.720–7.919 ms | 4.420–4.495 ms | morsel wins | +| Q19 | 15.855–17.348 ms | 5.380–5.423 ms | morsel wins by about 3x | +| scan-6col | 3.256–3.389 ms | 2.192–2.331 ms | morsel median wins, but is noisy | +| selective | 4.469–4.611 ms | 2.462 ms | morsel wins | + +The corrected whole-column writer invocation matters independently of NOWAIT: for the six-column +scan it reduced stored segments from 552 to 276 and moved its hot median from 3.04–3.91 ms to +2.19–2.33 ms. Q1 is still the only repeatable hot loss because only its predicate reads hit inline; +its projection remains speculative background work. It is the next CPU-profile target. +`scan-6col` still has extreme iteration noise (about 1.4–11.2 ms), so its median advantage should +not be overinterpreted. + +The earlier x32 SMT sweep used 64k morsels and predates the inline `RWF_NOWAIT` path, so those +numbers are no longer a like-for-like answer to the thread-count question. The all-core sweep must +be rerun with this implementation before making an SMT recommendation. + +A representative final hot x16 run gives this read shape. “Physical bytes” means bytes returned +by successful file-reader requests, not block-device traffic: a successful inline page-cache +probe counts, while an `EAGAIN` probe does not.

The machine is an +[`m8i.8xlarge`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ec2/latest/instancetypes/gp.html), whose 1,250 MB/s EBS +attachment is rated far above this result; the plateau is at the attached volume or its provisioned +throughput, not the instance interface. The exact volume configuration could not be queried without +AWS credentials, but the measured 125 MiB/s plateau exactly matches the +[default gp3 baseline](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/general-purpose.html). + +The query paths are within 0.5% of the stable 125.22 MiB/s single-stream rate and within 3% of the +long-window parallel maximum. CPU decode, scheduler, request fragmentation, and output assembly are +hidden under I/O on this volume. Cold wall time can only improve materially here by reading fewer +device bytes (for example, equal statistics pruning) or by provisioning faster storage; changing +executor scheduling cannot exceed this volume ceiling. + +Cold time to first computed batch was 30.5–95.0 ms for the morsel path, still earlier than V1 but +not instant streaming. Output is collected and reordered at the end, so TTFB measures internal +readiness rather than delivery to a streaming consumer. + +The stable accounting invariant remains: `decodes + reuses` with sharing equals the work without +sharing for the corresponding query. A dedicated test also proves 15 straddled stored segments +produce exactly 15 source requests across four workers when decoded sharing is disabled. + +## 4. What is not covered + +- **Statistics pruning is disabled for V1 until the morsel executor implements the same pruning.** + Zone maps and dictionary layout are therefore disabled for both executors in these results. V1 + supports them and P1 does not; enabling them only for V1 would compare pruning capability rather + than executor behavior. Keep them disabled on both paths for like-for-like measurements, then + enable them on both in the same benchmark once morsel execution can consume the statistics. On + selective queries, V1 with zone maps would otherwise skip blocks the prototype must read. +- **Local file I/O is covered; object storage is not.** The latest results use real positional + reads from XFS, but the prototype plan's latency grid of {0,1,10,50} ms is not built. +- **Gate E1 as written cannot be evaluated in this repository.** It requires rows B and C — the + self-paced graph/reactor and pipeline executors — and neither exists at any commit reachable + here (`self_paced`, `morsel`, `vortex-scan-v2` all find nothing). If those exist on a branch + elsewhere, running row C against these same fixtures is the highest-value next measurement. +- **`lineitem` only.** The joins in Q12/Q14/Q15/Q19 are above the scan. +- **Successful file-reader bytes are counted for both executors.** This includes hot page-cache + hits and therefore is not a block-device byte counter. Background reads are counted after + coalescing; successful inline NOWAIT reads are exact segment ranges and failed probes count only + in the NOWAIT-miss column. +- ClickBench and FineWeb still need multi-gigabyte downloads and remain synthetic + (`morsel-eval`).

for the P1 spine of the +[morsel-based plan execution design](morsel-based-plan-execution.md), implemented in +`vortex-morsel`. This document records what was built, what was measured, and — importantly — +which parts of the [prototype plan's](morsel-prototype-plan.md) evaluation matrix could **not** be +evaluated in this environment and why. + +## What was built + +`vortex-morsel` implements the P1 surface from the prototype plan: + +```rust +trait ExecNode: Send { + fn reset(&mut self, range: Range); + fn next_plan(&mut self, cx: &mut PlanCx<'_>) -> VortexResult; + fn execute(&mut self, cx: &mut ExecCx<'_>) -> VortexResult; + fn retire(&mut self, cx: &mut RetireCx<'_>); + fn children(&self) -> &[NodeId]; +} +``` + +The five operators are `FlatExec`, `ChunkedExec`, `StructExec`, `ConjunctExec` (cascade and +parallel behind one policy flag) and `FilterExec`. + +Design points that survived contact with the code: + +- **Nodes never perform IO.** `next_plan` registers `IoUse`s keyed to whole stored units against + the `IoPlane` and receives tickets; `execute` may only wait on tickets its own planning stream + emitted, and consuming a ticket a node never named is an error rather than an inline read. The + `source_range`, `extent`, `producer` and `estimated_bytes` fields are carried and stamped but + not yet *consulted* — nothing reads them until P2's admission loop exists. +- **Emit-once planning.** Planning is budget-bounded (`PLAN_BUDGET = 64` uses) and resumable: + chunked keeps a cut cursor, struct and conjunct keep field cursors, so a node that exhausts the + quantum yields `PlanItem::Plan` and resumes where it stopped rather than restarting. +- **Immutable plan, per-thread state.** The graph model's objection to stateful nodes (§9 of + [the graph model](scan-execution-graph-model.md)) — that a node shared by every unit cannot hold + per-morsel state — is answered by splitting the two: `ExecPlan` is one immutable blueprint per + scan, and each driving thread instantiates its own arena of mutable node state, reset per morsel. + Nothing is allocated per morsel and nothing on the hot path is shared between threads. +- **The arena take/put trick** is what lets a node hold `&mut self` while recursively driving its + children: the driver removes the node from its slot, hands the rest of the arena to the child + poll, and puts it back. The tree shape guarantees a node is never reachable from its own + subtree, so a taken slot is never observed empty; the debug path panics if it ever is. +- **Unsupported shapes are build errors.** Nested structs, non-struct roots, nullable root + structs and non-flat/non-chunked columns fail in `build_plan` rather than falling back, so an + unsupported query cannot be timed as if the prototype had executed it. +- **Retention is derived from demand, never from a budget.** An earlier revision carried a + per-thread decoded-chunk cache; it was removed because a budget-and-eviction cache is state V1 + does not have and its numbers measured the cache, not the executor. What replaced it is the P1 + slice of P2's keyed cells: **leased shared decoded cells** (`cells.rs`). Before the scan + starts, the driver counts — from the morsel cut and the plan's flat nodes alone — exactly how + many (node, morsel) pairs will touch each stored unit. The first morsel to decode a unit + publishes the array into its cell; every retiring morsel releases its lease whether it used + the cell or not; the last release drops the array. Nothing is held speculatively, nothing has + a budget, nothing survives the scan, and the lease ledger is asserted to drain to zero. A + morsel whose planning finds the cell already populated skips issuing the read entirely — its + own unreleased lease guarantees the value survives until it retires. The `no-reuse` + configuration disables the layer completely and holds no state across morsels at all; it is + kept as the fairness row and as the chaos check (`decodes + reuses` in a sharing run must + exactly equal `decodes` in a non-sharing run, asserted per query). +- **The cell map is sharded 16 ways.** The first cut used one mutex, and the wide-numeric + workload at 4 threads got *slower* than 1 thread (0.53 vs 0.50 vs V1): 4,560 lease touches on + one lock serialised the scan. Sixteen shards restored 0.34. The measured lesson for P2: lease + traffic scales with (nodes × morsels), so the cell index must be sharded or lock-free from the + start. + +One deviation from the sketch worth recording: rather than rewriting expressions to push +predicates onto individual fields, each conjunct and the projection are re-bound against the +*narrowed* struct dtype of exactly the top-level fields they reference. This achieves the same +column pruning using only public expression API, and keeps the executor's semantics identical to +V1's by construction (the same `apply_bound` on the same assembled struct). + +## Correctness + +18 differential tests, all passing. Every one uses the V1 `LayoutReader` as the oracle and +asserts equal row counts and equal ordered content over 8 query shapes: + +| Property | Test | +|---|---| +| Agrees with V1 at 1, 2 and 4 threads | `matches_v1_oracle` | +| Misaligned chunking is invisible | `misaligned_chunks_match_aligned_reference` | +| The document's `[0,3,10)` vs `[0,6,10)` case, and its split set | `document_misalignment_case` | +| Result independent of morsel size (1, 7, 128, 4096 rows, and per-split) | `independent_of_morsel_size` | +| Cascade and parallel conjunct policies observationally identical | `conjunct_policy_is_not_observable` | +| Shared cells change no output, at 1 and 4 threads, and account exactly | `shared_cells_are_not_observable` | +| Straddled chunks are decoded exactly once per scan | `shared_cells_reuse_straddled_chunks` | +| Every read was named by a planning stream | `every_read_was_planned` | +| All-false filter emits nothing | `empty_filter_emits_nothing` | +| Unsupported layouts are build errors | `rejects_unsupported_layouts` | + +The evaluation binary re-runs the oracle check for **every** configuration on **every** query +before any timing happens; a configuration that disagrees is reported as a failure and excluded +from the timing table. All 105 configuration-query pairs in the run below matched. + +## What could not be evaluated, and why + +The prototype plan's gate E1 reads: *D within 5% of C's rerun across suites; ordering +D ≈ C < B(owned) < B(coordinator) reproduced.* **Gate E1 as specified was not evaluated.** Three +reasons, all environmental rather than results anyone should read past: + +1. **Rows B and C do not exist in this repository.** The self-paced graph/reactor and pipeline + executors that the [findings document](self-paced-plan-exec-findings.md) reports 2.53x → 0.41x + for are not present at any commit reachable here — a search of the tree for `self_paced`, + `morsel`, or a `vortex-scan-v2` crate finds nothing. Only rows A (V1) and D (this prototype) + could be run. Without C, "within 5% of C" is unmeasurable, and so is the ordering claim. +2. **The named suites need multi-gigabyte downloads.** FineWeb's sample is ~2 GB of Parquet and + ClickBench's `hits` is far larger; this host has 4 cores and 15 GB of RAM, and the harness + holds segments in memory. TPC-H SF10 needs a generator that is not vendored. +3. **P0's latency-injection IO source and chaos mode are not built.** They gate E2 and E3, which + are P2 work and out of scope for P1 anyway. + +What was measured instead is a set of **shape-matched synthetic workloads**: struct-of-chunked-flat +columns whose per-column chunk boundaries deliberately disagree, scanned under conjunctive filters +of varying selectivity with narrow and wide projections. These reproduce the structure the plan +says the real suites lower to, and they exercise exactly what E1 is about — the executor's own +scheduling-unit cost. They do **not** exercise encoding-specific decode costs (FSST, ALP-RD, +dictionary), and their absolute wall times are not comparable to the recorded suite numbers. + +## Results + +Host: 4 logical cores, segments in memory, 1M rows per workload (250k for the string-heavy one, +which has far wider rows), 5 alternating iterations, median reported. Reproduce with: + +```bash +cargo run --release -p vortex-morsel --features _test-harness --bin morsel-eval +``` + +Ratios are against **A: V1 single-threaded**, which is the apples-to-apples baseline for a +one-thread morsel run — the harness drives V1 on `SingleThreadRuntime`, which runs every task on +the calling thread.

The counters give the mechanism its +own audit: in every sharing run, `decodes + reuses` equals the non-sharing run's `decodes` +exactly (asserted per query in the tests), and the lease ledger is asserted empty at scan end. +Because a plan-time cell hit skips the read as well, requests fall with decodes: the sharing row +issues 121 requests where the no-reuse row issues 310. Retention peaked at the scan's active +window — the morsels overlapping one unit are consecutive indices off a monotone cursor, so a +cell lives from the first of them to the last. + +**Even with sharing disabled, the executor beats V1 on the same cut** (0.644 geomean): no future +per evaluation, no task per split. That row is the state-for-state comparison with V1 and is the +floor the sharing mechanism builds on, not a number sharing inflates. + +**Coalescing morsels remains worth more than sharing on wide tables.** `WN1 select-all` at 4 +threads: per-split morsels with sharing 0.24; 64k-row morsels 0.12 with zero reuses — one morsel +spanning sixteen chunks slices each chunk once, so there is nothing left to share. Sharing and +coalescing are substitutes on wide numeric data and complements on misaligned string data, where +even coalesced morsels straddle the small text chunks. + +**The one-lock version of the cells was a measured failure.** With a single mutex, wide-numeric +at 4 threads ran *slower* than at 1 (0.53 vs 0.50): thousands of tiny lease operations serialised +the scan. Sixteen shards restored 0.34. This is the admission-plane lesson E2 is designed to +catch — a shared structure touched per (node, morsel) must never be a single point of +serialisation — surfaced early by the lease ledger. + +**Cascade and parallel conjuncts remain within noise of each other** on these cheap-predicate +workloads (0.366 vs 0.340 at 4 threads); the expensive-conjunct case that should separate them +is still not in the fixtures. + +### Two honest caveats in D's favour, to discount + +- **The 4-thread rows spawn threads per run.** Sub-millisecond queries show D at 4 threads + losing ground to D at 1 thread because ~200 µs of thread spawn dominates. A real + implementation uses a pool. Read the 4-thread rows only on queries above a few milliseconds. +- **Time-to-first-batch is not directly comparable.** D's is measured from the first morsel a + thread completes, V1's from the first item off the stream. D's numbers are much better + (0.55 ms vs 8.7 ms on `SH1`) and the direction is real — D emits as soon as one morsel + finishes rather than after the pipeline fills — but the two clocks are not measuring quite + the same event. + +## Where this leaves the phase order + +P1's spine is built, correct against the V1 oracle, and faster than V1 on every workload measured +at equal thread count. What P1 cannot do is answer the question E1 was written to answer, because +the executor E1 compares against is not in this repository. + +Two things would need to happen before the gate means anything: + +1. **Locate or rebuild rows B and C.** If the self-paced experiment exists on a branch, running + its pipeline mode on this host against these same fixtures makes the 5% comparison meaningful + in one afternoon. If it does not exist, the bar has to be restated against something that does. +2. **Decide whether the shape-matched fixtures are enough.** They isolate scheduling-unit cost + well, which is E1's actual subject, but the recorded 0.33/0.6 geomeans came from real + encodings. Comparing a synthetic-fixture ratio against a real-suite ratio is not sound, and + this document does not do it. + +The leased shared cells built here are the first P2 slice landed ahead of schedule: the ~2x +cross-morsel decode reuse on misaligned string layouts is now delivered by demand-derived +retention (leases counted from the morsel cut, drained to zero by retirement) rather than by a +cache, with the no-reuse configuration retained as the state-for-state fairness row. What P2 +still owes on top: sharing the *bytes* cells across threads the same way, verdict-driven +cancellation of unissued uses, and the latency-grid experiments (E2) that decide when +registration should be bypassed entirely. diff --git a/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/morsel-prototype-plan.md b/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/morsel-prototype-plan.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..f2270cc5dfa --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/morsel-prototype-plan.md @@ -0,0 +1,234 @@ +# Morsel Prototype: API and Experiment Plan + +Status: **implementation plan (2026-08-27)** for prototyping the model in +[morsel-based plan execution](morsel-based-plan-execution.md): a stateful `execute` interior per +morsel, plus a scheduler-visible IO plane (`next_plan` request revelation, demand cells, an +admission policy). The plan is structured so every phase lands with an experiment over real +queries, reusing the [self-paced findings](self-paced-plan-exec-findings.md) harness, fixtures, +and fair-comparison contract. + +## Design decisions carried in + +These were argued from the measured executor progression (single coordinator 2.53x -> pooled +shards 1.40x -> owned 0.79x -> pipeline 0.41x on FineWeb Q06; Q09's byte-identical 41% win as +scheduling-unit attribution) and from working through lists, ALP-RD patches, and demand +refinement: + +1. **Stateful execute spine.** One `execute` call drives a morsel's operator state machines + inline. Suspensions that resume in nanoseconds on the same thread stay implicit (a program + counter), never reified as tasks. Reify a wait only when it is long (IO), when another thread + should resume it (CPU above the granularity floor), or when the scheduler must price it. +2. **IO plane as the only materialized graph.** `next_plan` reveals requests once; wait sets are + the dependency edges; wakes are event-driven (ticket -> parked `(morsel, node)` cursor), never + rediscovered by scanning. +3. **Emit-once planning with the completion invariant.** Planning may only rest in + `Blocked(triggers)` or `Complete`, and `Complete` forfeits refinement: any event that could + still improve this node's IO must be parked on explicitly. Refinement before emission comes + from deferral; refinement after emission only through sampled state; replacement is + cancel-plus-new-use and exceptional. +4. **Demand plane closed over scalars.** Monotone bit cells with block summaries (any/count) and + a version counter; the scheduler reads only verdicts over `(cell, range)`. Each `IoUse` + carries a `source_range` stamped at emission (the inverse image of its extent under the map + known then); the owning leaf may re-stamp unissued uses on map-version bumps. Maps (offsets, + patch indices, dictionaries) never cross into the scheduler. +5. **Derived demand as guarded memoization.** A gated map node caches + `(output, input_version, input_true_count)`; consumers recompute only at IO-decision points + and only when the input true-count drop crosses a threshold. Stale output is a sound superset. +6. **Inline bypass below the floor, for IO too.** A frontier read against fast local storage with + sealed demand and no sharing potential may skip registration and issue inline + (pipeline-style).

Comparisons are five-iteration medians +under the fair contract. + +### E1: overhead parity on local NVMe (gate for P1) + +*Hypothesis:* the trait seam costs nothing; the stateful spine reproduces pipeline-mode +performance and preserves the measured ordering D ≈ C < B(owned) < B(coordinator), with V1 +between B's two modes. + +Run the full 42-workload suite (18 FineWeb, 3 TPC-H, 21 ClickBench) across the whole matrix. +Success: D's geometric means within 5% of C's same-host rerun (~0.33 FineWeb, ~0.6 ClickBench vs +V1 in the recorded results), and a Q09 rerun (byte-identical IO by construction across all four +rows) reproduces the scheduling-unit attribution — D and C beat A and B with equal physical +work. A miss localizes to the trait dispatch or arena layout and must be profiled before +proceeding. + +### E2: does the IO plane earn its overhead? (gate for P2) + +*Hypothesis:* on injected latency the registered IO plane beats inline-blocking reads by an +amount that grows with latency, and on NVMe the floor bypass keeps it at E1 parity. + +Grid: {inline-only, IO plane with bypass, IO plane forced (no bypass)} x {0, 1, 10, 50 ms} over +a latency-sensitive subset (FineWeb Q06, Q09, Q10; TPC-H Q6; ClickBench dashboard plus two +selective shapes), with rows A and B run at each latency point as external references — the +graph row is the interesting comparator here, since request visibility is the one thing it +bought. Success: forced-plane at 0 ms costs <5% vs inline (bounds the reification tax); +with-bypass at 0 ms is at parity; at 10 ms+ the plane wins materially on every shape with +overlappable IO, on both wall time and time-to-first-batch, and D at 10 ms+ is at least at +parity with B — showing the IO plane recovers the graph's latency-hiding without its CPU +bookkeeping. Also record queue dwell and admission loop occupancy to confirm no +coordinator-style serial section reappears (admission busy <10% of one core). + +### E3: demand value and speculation pricing (with P2) + +*Hypothesis:* cancellation and prefetch pricing reproduce the measured selective-shape wins, and +policy choice is genuinely swappable. + +Shapes: Q12 (empty result), Q13 (narrow selective), Q10 (shared filter/projection), Q01/Q02, and +the ClickBench selective additions. Sweep {cascade, eager, adaptive} x latency {0, 10 ms}. +Measure bytes cancelled, first-predicate-only request counts on Q12 (target: match the recorded +1,823 vs 7,292), and speculative waste against the budget. Success: adaptive is within noise of +the best static policy per shape, never the worst; demand-plane time <1% of run time; the chaos +run stays byte-identical. + +### E4: gated planning and sub-segment reads (gate for P3) + +*Hypothesis:* row-to-byte cuts pay for themselves and gated facts sequence correctly under +latency. + +Fixtures: a list-heavy synthetic (variable lengths, empty/null/giant lists, nested one level) +plus TPC-H `l_comment`-style strings and an ALP-RD float fixture with a measured patch rate; +predicates on list length and on scalar columns so element demand seals late. Measure bytes +saved by static cuts (bit-packed left/right parts) and gated cuts (patch values, element runs) +against whole-segment reads; per-morsel planning microseconds (target <1% of morsel time, uses +per morsel bounded by the run-count guard); offsets rushed as `Gate` priority (verify offsets +never queue behind bulk data). Differential: V1 list oracle cases (empty, null, straddling, +fallible expressions on demanded rows only). + +### E5: adaptive conjunct ordering (gate for P4) + +*Hypothesis:* estimator-driven ordering matches the best static order without being told it, and +beats static on skew. + +Shapes: Q11 and ClickBench Q45 (five-conjunct chains), plus a synthetic where selectivity +inverts halfway through the file (clustered predicate). Success: on stationary data, adaptive is +within noise of the best static conjunct order; on the inverting fixture it beats every static +order; estimator overhead is unmeasurable. + +### E6: microbenchmarks (continuous) + +Criterion benches pinned in CI for the seams the design keeps promising are cheap: use +registration/retire round trip, verdict sample (with and without an offsets inverse map), parked +wake to re-entry latency, derived-demand guard hit and miss, one 128K mask intersect with +summary maintenance. These are the budget table backing every "this is noise" claim; regressions +fail the run. + +## Exit criteria + +The prototype graduates to a replacement plan when: E1 and E2 gates pass; every measured +workload is at parity or better with the pipeline mode on NVMe and strictly better under 10 ms +injected latency; the chaos differential and V1 oracle have no divergences; and the findings doc +records per-experiment tables in the same format as the self-paced reports. Anything that fails +gets written up with a phase-timing breakdown before the design doc is amended — the reactor's +lesson is that architecture verdicts come from attributed measurements, not totals.

measured the morsel executor on synthetic +workloads *shaped like* the prototype plan's suites, and said plainly that shape-matching is not +the same as the suite.

No +download: the generator is already a workspace dependency (`vortex-bench` builds its TPC-H files +with it). Batches are imported through the session's own Arrow path +(`session.arrow().from_arrow_record_batch`), the same call `vortex-bench` uses, so extension types +land exactly as a real conversion lands them. The written schema is the real one: + +```text +{l_orderkey=i64, l_partkey=i64, l_suppkey=i64, l_linenumber=i32, + l_quantity=decimal(15,2), l_extendedprice=decimal(15,2), l_discount=decimal(15,2), + l_tax=decimal(15,2), l_returnflag=utf8, l_linestatus=utf8, + l_shipdate=vortex.date[days](i32), l_commitdate=vortex.date[days](i32), + l_receiptdate=vortex.date[days](i32), l_shipinstruct=utf8, l_shipmode=utf8, l_comment=utf8} +``` + +Real `decimal(15,2)` money and real `date[days]` columns, compared against literals of matching +precision, scale and physical representation — not the `i32`-standing-in-for-a-date the synthetic +fixture used. + +**Encodings.** Written through the btrblocks compressing pipeline — repartition to 8,192-row +blocks, coalesce to 1 MiB, compress, buffer, chunk, flat — producing 733 natural splits across 16 +columns. This closes the gap the P1 findings flagged as most undercutting its own numbers: decode +cost is now what a real file imposes, and decode is the denominator of every ratio. + +**Queries.** The scan portion of the TPC-H queries in `vortex-bench/sql/tpch/`, transcribed +predicate for predicate. Q6's four predicates are all four, including the `l_discount between +0.05 and 0.07` band the synthetic version dropped. A scan executor produces the rows the engine's +aggregation, join and sort operators consume; the `sum` above the scan is identical work for +either executor and is excluded rather than double-counted. + +**Exactness.** Stricter than the synthetic eval. Both executors read the same segments of the same +written file, and before any timing every configuration is compared to V1's output on **dtype, row +count and ordered content**. A mismatch on any of the three aborts the run — on a real query over +real data a configuration that does not reproduce V1 exactly is a bug, not a table row. All 48 +configuration-query pairs matched. + +## What is still not exercised + +**Zone maps and the dictionary layout are disabled.** P1 supports neither, and V1 supports both. +Writing them would compare a pruning executor against a non-pruning one rather than comparing +executors, so both read the same non-pruning file. This is a real capability gap in the prototype +— on the selective queries V1-with-zone-maps would skip blocks the prototype must read — and +closing it is prerequisite to any production comparison. It is not folded into a ratio here. + +**Only `lineitem`.** The queries' joins to `part`, `orders` and `supplier` are above the scan. + +## Results, SF=1 + +4 physical cores (no hyperthreading), segments in memory, 5 alternating iterations, median. +Ratios against V1 single-threaded.

Meanwhile V1 reaches its best at 4 workers x concurrency 16, i.e. **64 +in-flight split tasks against the morsel driver's 4 morsels**. The morsel driver needs 16x fewer +concurrent units and still wins, because it does more useful work per scheduling unit rather than +relying on latency hiding to keep cores fed. With in-memory segments there is no IO latency to +hide; whether that holds against real storage is exactly what gate E2 exists to answer. + +### Morsel coalescing does *not* generally help + +Excluding Q19, coalescing to 64k-row morsels is **1.02x — no effect at all**. The whole of the +`D x4 64k` geomean advantage is Q19, at 0.42x: + +```text +Q19, per-split morsels: 366 morsels, 11.20 ms +Q19, 64k morsels: 92 morsels, 4.69 ms +``` + +Q19 is the only query whose columns misalign, for the same reason its decode sharing fires: its +string columns compress to sizes that land on different block boundaries, giving it 366 natural +splits where every other query has 92. Past 64k rows coalescing turns harmful — Q12 goes from +9.3 ms to 22.7 ms at 1M-row morsels, because a morsel that large stops fitting the working-set +bound the design's law 8 assumes. + +### The headline, stated at equal core count + +The honest comparison is like for like on threads: + +| | 1 thread | 4 threads | +|---|--:|--:| +| V1 `LayoutReader` | 1.00x | 0.48x | +| morsel executor | 0.75x | 0.31x | +| **morsel speedup** | **1.33x** | **1.55x** | + +The morsel executor is ~1.3x faster than V1 single-threaded and ~1.5x faster at four cores, on +real TPC-H with real encodings. The 0.26x for coalesced 64k-row morsels is a +Q19 artifact, not a general result — see the coalescing section above. + +### The number that dropped, and why + +On synthetic fixtures the single-thread figure was 0.54x; on real TPC-H it is 0.75x. The P1 +findings predicted this in as many words — that writing uncompressed leaves understated decode +cost, which both executors share, and so inflated the prototype's apparent margin. Compressed +decode now dominates, and the margin narrows to what the executor actually controls. Q6 (0.92x) +and Q12 (0.85x) are the clearest cases: both read few columns with heavy predicates, so almost all +of the wall time is inside decode and predicate kernels identical to V1's. `scan-6col` (0.43x) is +the opposite extreme — a bare projection where per-split machinery is most of V1's cost. + +### Decode reuse is neutral on real TPC-H, and that is a negative result worth stating + +The leased shared cells were built because cross-morsel decode reuse was worth ~2x on the +synthetic misaligned fixtures. On real TPC-H the geomean with sharing (0.75x) and without (0.76x) +are indistinguishable. The reason is visible in the counters: the real write pipeline repartitions +**every column onto the same row blocks**, so the misalignment the synthetic fixtures forced does +not occur. Where reuses do fire it is because a column appears in both the filter and the +projection — Q6 registers 276 reuses for `l_discount`, Q12 registers 460 — and that saves a decode +without saving wall time, because the second decode would have hit the same warm buffers. + +**The exception is Q19**, and it is instructive: 366 morsels instead of 92, 2,102 reuses, and +0.54x with sharing against 0.69x without. Q19 projects `l_shipmode` and `l_shipinstruct`, whose +compressed sizes differ enough from the numeric columns that the 1 MiB coalescing lands them on +different boundaries. So real files *do* misalign — just only when column widths diverge, which is +exactly the string-heavy case, and nothing like as often as the synthetic fixture assumed. + +The conclusion for P2: keyed cells earn their place on width-divergent schemas and on +filter-and-project column overlap, not as a general-purpose win. Sizing their machinery for the +synthetic case would have been over-building. + +### A measured cost the fix removed + +The first version of the cells registered a lease for every unit. On `scan-6col` — 552 units, zero +reusable — that bookkeeping cost 20% (0.52x against the 0.43x it should have been). Units with a +single lease can never be reused, so they are no longer registered at all: no lookup, no publish, +no release. `scan-6col` is now 0.43x against 0.39x for the mechanism fully disabled, so the +residual overhead of having the machinery present at all is ~10% on the most hostile query and +zero everywhere it can pay off. + +### Time to first batch + +V1's first batch arrives after 1.6–8.5 ms; the prototype's after 0.07–0.85 ms, an order of +magnitude earlier on every query. The two clocks measure slightly different events (V1's is the +first item off the stream, the prototype's is the first completed morsel), but the direction is +structural: the prototype emits as soon as one morsel finishes rather than after the pipeline +fills. + +## What this changes about the P1 conclusions + +1. **The executor win is real and survives real encodings**, at a smaller magnitude: 1.3–1.5x at + equal cores rather than the ~1.8x the synthetic fixtures suggested. +2. **The decode-reuse win does not survive**, except on width-divergent schemas.

It records design ideas raised while refining the +[morsel reactor architecture](morsel-reactor.md), along with the evidence needed to choose among +them. Correctness contracts belong in the architecture document; policies in this note may change +after simulation and benchmarking. The +[plan execution experiment](self-paced-plan-exec-experiment.md) is the first executable vehicle +for several of these decisions; the [validation vehicles](#validation-vehicles) table records +which. + +## 1. Fixed versus migratable morsel ownership + +The baseline is one mutable owner at a time. Two policies are possible: + +### Fixed owner + +A morsel remains assigned to one worker until completion. The worker executes other stealable work +while the morsel waits. + +Advantages: + +- strongest cache locality; +- no reactor transfer protocol; and +- simple thread-local arenas. + +Risks: + +- an owner with several completions may become a planning bottleneck; and +- an imbalanced set of complex morsels may leave planning uneven even when task execution balances. + +### Migratable owner + +A parked reactor can be moved as one object to another worker. No task may hold a borrow into it. + +Advantages: + +- planning load can balance independently from task execution; and +- idle workers can adopt completion-heavy morsels. + +Risks: + +- weaker cache locality; +- more ownership-state transitions; and +- harder integration with thread-local allocation. + +Start fixed. Add migration only if planning time becomes visible in profiles. + +## 2. Planning replenishment policy + +Owners should plan enough work to keep shared executors busy without expanding the complete morsel +or retaining excessive speculative state. + +Candidate triggers include: + +- local ready-work count below a watermark; +- global CPU deque depth below a watermark; +- I/O queue below its target concurrency; +- completion of a gate near the commit frontier; +- sealed frontier advancement; and +- an explicit steal request from an idle worker. + +Possible policy: + +```text +if required work is ready: + advance until required queue reaches R +else if global queues are starved: + expand candidate work until total queue reaches C +else: + stop at local quiescence or the near planning horizon +``` + +Measure planning calls, transitions per call, queue starvation time, and speculative bytes. + +## 3. Complete frontier versus incremental deltas + +The semantic contract says a locally quiescent reactor has exposed every currently concrete +opportunity. The transport to the scheduler could be: + +- a complete snapshot of outstanding work; +- only `Offer`, `Rescore`, `Promote`, and `Eliminate` deltas; or +- deltas normally, with a snapshot recovery path. + +Deltas avoid repeatedly copying large work sets. Stable IDs and a snapshot recovery path make them +robust to scheduler reconstruction and debugging. + +## 4. Predicate scheduling + +Every remaining conjunction can expose its reads and, once inputs are ready, its CPU opportunity. +The scheduler chooses among three policies per block. + +### Sequential + +Run the best estimated predicate, refine demand, then offer later CPU against the smaller snapshot. +This minimizes work but may underuse workers and serialize high-latency reads. + +### Concurrent + +Run several predicates over the same immutable open snapshot. Their result masks commute under +intersection when expressions are deterministic and infallible. This lowers latency at the cost of +evaluating rows that another predicate may remove. + +### Hybrid + +Prefetch several predicate inputs, run the best predicate first, and admit later CPU only when +queues would otherwise drain. This is the initial policy to prototype. + +A useful score may approximate: + +```text +expected downstream cost removed / (predicate I/O cost + predicate CPU cost) +``` + +The score must also include distance from the commit frontier, cached inputs, uncertainty, and +global queue state. + +## 5. Selectivity uncertainty + +The exact candidate count is known for each open snapshot. Future survival is not. Possible +estimators include: + +- historical selectivity per predicate; +- current-scan global selectivity; +- per-file or per-zone statistics; +- a conservative interval rather than one expected value; and +- no estimate until a predicate has executed. + +Expected selectivity is scheduling evidence only. Zero demand requires exact proof. Begin with +exact candidate counts and a simple global historical rate, then measure whether more local models +change admission decisions. + +## 6. Speculative projection I/O + +Projection planning sees open demand. The scheduler must decide how much candidate I/O to admit. + +Factors favoring early reads: + +- remaining filters are expected to be non-selective; +- storage latency is high; +- compressed bytes are small; +- I/O capacity would otherwise idle; +- the same `ReadKey` is needed by a predicate; or +- the read is near the ordered commit frontier. + +Factors favoring delay: + +- remaining filters are expected to be highly selective; +- projection fields are wide; +- compressed or cache budgets are tight; +- cancellation or a limit is likely; or +- reads are far beyond the commit frontier. + +Prototype at least conservative, balanced, and latency-biased policies against local NVMe and +object storage. + +## 7. Speculative CPU for read discovery + +Some projection reads cannot be named until CPU work resolves a gate: + +- dictionary codes reveal value pages; +- list offsets reveal element ranges; and +- indexes reveal independently readable encoded pages. + +Running safe discovery CPU under open demand may hide substantial I/O latency. Candidate classes: + +```text +always safe: metadata parsing, infallible offset/code decode +conditionally safe: deterministic decode with bounded retained output +sealed only: fallible expressions and demand-sensitive value construction +``` + +The prototype should record speculative discovery CPU, bytes unlocked, eventual reuse, and waste. + +## 8. Task fusion + +Semantic nodes need not equal scheduler tasks. Candidate fusion cases include: + +- several predicates over one decoded column; +- metadata checks over one footer; +- decode followed by a very small expression; and +- several small adjacent reads supported efficiently by the I/O backend. + +Avoid fusion when it hides: + +- a selective boundary; +- independent stealing parallelism; +- different priorities or credit classes; +- useful cancellation points; or +- fallible error order. + +Measure task launch cost and establish a minimum useful CPU duration before adding adaptive fusion. + +## 9. Demand update transport + +Both predicate and projection planning observe open demand, but waking every projection node after +every mask revision would be expensive. Options include: + +- direct subscription for nodes at the commit frontier; +- lazy generation-based rescoring for catalog entries; +- block-summary notifications for distant candidate work; and +- batching several predicate completions into one generation update. + +The likely split is immediate notification for correctness-critical promotion or exact emptiness, +and lazy rescoring for speculative priority changes. + +## 10. Dynamic-filter sealing semantics + +An external dynamic filter may continue shrinking after local predicates finish. Possible +contracts are: + +- wait for dynamic-filter completion before sealing affected blocks; +- freeze one dynamic-filter generation per block; +- apply new generations only to blocks not yet started; or +- restart an uncommitted suffix under a new epoch. + +Freezing a generation per block is simple and pipeline-friendly but may miss late pruning. Waiting +maximizes filtering but can stall output. This decision requires integration-specific semantics and +latency measurements. + +## 11. Work queues and stealing + +Potential runtime organization: + +```text +per-worker deque: + CPU tasks, local-first and stealable + +shared I/O queues: + required reads + candidate reads + +per-morsel mailbox: + completion facts + +per-worker reactor queue: + morsels needing advance +``` + +An alternative puts reactor continuations in the same work-stealing deque as CPU tasks. That makes +planning stealable but weakens fixed ownership. Start with a distinct owner-local reactor queue so +planning and expensive computation remain observable separately. + +## 12. Graph representation + +The initial graph should use compact IDs, arenas or slot maps, `SmallVec` subscribers, and queued +bits. Alternatives include: + +- boxed trait-object nodes; +- an enum of built-in node states; +- a flat arena with vtable dispatch; and +- compile-time specialized graphs for common plans. + +The graph-cost estimate in [scheduler-visible work](scheduler-visible-work.md) suggests bookkeeping +will be smaller than masks and data buffers. Do not optimize representation until measurements show +dispatch, allocation, or cache misses are material. + +## 13. Fact retention + +Completed task results may feed several consumers. Options include: + +- explicit subscriber reference counts; +- frontier-based release; +- node-owned handles with scheduler-visible retained bytes; and +- a per-scan cache for reusable dictionary or metadata facts. + +The releasing component must be the component charged for retention. Record high-water marks and +late-release causes in the deterministic simulator. + +## 14. Planning budget + +Possible transition budgets include: + +- a fixed number of node transitions; +- elapsed coordination time; +- number of work offers produced; +- bytes of new candidate work exposed; or +- a combination with a hard time ceiling. + +A fixed transition count is deterministic and testable. A time ceiling protects fairness in +production. Start with a transition count and collect elapsed-time metrics. + +## 15. Prototype scenarios + +The deterministic simulator should cover: + +1. Three conjunctions scheduled sequentially, concurrently, and in hybrid mode. +2. Projection reads admitted before, during, and after filtering. +3. A running predicate completing against an older demand snapshot. +4. A block becoming empty while candidate projection I/O is in flight. +5. Dictionary codes unlocking several value-page reads. +6. A large list offset unlocking an oversized element range. +7. Blocks sealing out of order while ordered output waits on an earlier block. +8. One owner publishing CPU work stolen by several workers. +9. Planning budget exhaustion followed by immediate re-advance. +10. Dynamic-filter generations arriving before and after local predicate completion. +11. Shared filter and projection reads deduplicating to one physical request. +12. Cancellation and late task completion releasing all retained state. + +For every scenario record: + +- output and error equivalence to the current executor; +- work offers and lifecycle updates; +- admitted, completed, cancelled, and wasted work; +- bytes by credit class; +- dirty nodes and transitions per completion; +- queue starvation and steal success; and +- time to first and final output. + +## 16. Completion summaries + +Planning should never scan an array to learn a scalar fact about it. The plan execution experiment +stores a summary beside each resolved array. A boolean mask's length and true count are mandatory +because empty sealing depends on them; they are computed by the worker that produced the value. +Alternatives include: + +- per-operation summary types instead of one fixed struct; and +- richer statistics, such as min/max, for scheduling decisions. + +The boolean-mask summary is correctness-bearing metadata inseparable from its `ArrayRef`, not an +independent resolved value. No task may name it as an input. The task table validates its required +shape, while the producer is responsible for semantic correctness just as it is for array values. + +## 17. Shared-resource wake-up + +A shared segment or decode completion must reach every morsel that joined the resource. The +experiment reuses the joined-user set as the subscriber list and wakes each joined morsel once; +unresolved morsels discover the value if and when they join. Alternatives include: + +- per-fact subscriber lists separate from lifetime tracking; +- no wake-up at all, with discovery only at join time; and +- wake-ups batched per scheduler tick. + +Measure duplicate wake-ups and join-time discovery latency before separating subscription from +lifetime state. + +## 18. Offer claiming and input snapshots + +The plan execution experiment separates a descriptive offer, which names slot identifiers, from a +runnable task, which owns immutable clones of its resolved inputs. Claiming happens on the owner +thread immediately before execution: it verifies the offer is still live, clones each resolved +value, acquires input and output leases, and marks the task running. Alternatives include: + +- embedding resolved values in the offer at emission time, which pins results earlier and lets a + revoked offer strand its clones; +- letting workers read the slot store directly under a lock, which reintroduces shared mutable + coordination; and +- claim batching, where the scheduler claims several tasks in one owner interaction. + +Measure claim latency, lease hold time, and how often a claim observes a revoked offer. + +## Decisions currently recommended + +The following defaults are plausible starting points, not settled architecture: + +1. Fixed morsel ownership with globally stealable CPU tasks. +2. Hybrid predicate scheduling: broad I/O, selective CPU. +3. Open-demand projection I/O under byte and distance horizons. +4. Safe speculative CPU only for work that unlocks useful I/O. +5. Delta work updates with stable identities. +6. Immediate demand notification near commit; lazy rescoring farther ahead. +7. Fixed transition budgets in the simulator. +8. No adaptive task fusion until launch cost is measured. +9. Scalar completion summaries computed by the worker that produced the value. +10. Descriptive offers claimed into input-owning runnable tasks immediately before execution. + +## Validation vehicles + +Two executable studies split the evidence: + +- the [plan execution experiment](self-paced-plan-exec-experiment.md) tests the control-plane + contract on one restricted `Chunked>` shape under a single-threaded external + driver with deterministic virtual costs; and +- the deterministic simulator described in the + [implementation plan](self-paced-implementation-plan.md) covers gates, multi-block demand, + stealing, and dynamic filters. + +| Idea | Vehicle | Notes | +| --- | --- | --- | +| 1.

Task +execution never grants mutable access to the reactor. A task owns its inputs and returns an owned +result or result handle through the completion mailbox. + +Reactor ownership may move only while the reactor is not running. Moving the complete reactor is a +scheduling optimization; concurrent calls to `advance` on one reactor are forbidden. + +## Static structure and dynamic expansion + +Opening a scan compiles immutable plan structure into a dependency template. The template assigns: + +- stable operator identities; +- row domains and one `DomainMap` per edge; +- static fact types and subscriptions; +- static read uses and coverage; +- conditional gate recipes; and +- rules for constructing task and result identities. + +Opening a morsel instantiates mutable state from that template: + +```rust +struct ExecGraph { + nodes: SlotMap, + facts: SlotMap, + tasks: SlotMap, + runnable: VecDeque, + queued: BitSet, +} +``` + +The template does not enumerate every future task. Some tasks depend on runtime values: + +```text +decoded dictionary codes + -> exact gather demand + -> value-page addresses + -> value-page reads +``` + +The dependency recipe exists when the template is compiled. Concrete value-page tasks appear only +after the codes fact exists. Dynamic expansion is therefore monotone realization of a compiled +reactor, not repeated reconstruction of the plan tree. + +## The `advance` contract + +`advance` ingests events and performs bounded, cheap transitions: + +```rust +trait MorselReactor { + fn advance( + &mut self, + events: impl Iterator, + transition_budget: usize, + ) -> VortexResult; +} + +enum MorselEvent { + TaskCompleted { task: TaskId, result: TaskResult }, + TaskFailed { task: TaskId, error: VortexError }, + CreditAvailable(CreditClass), + OutputCapacityAvailable, + Cancelled, +} + +struct PlanStep { + work: Vec, + output: Vec, + gates: Vec, + locally_quiescent: bool, + done: bool, +} +``` + +One call: + +1. installs task results in durable fact slots; +2. enqueues subscribers of changed facts; +3. drains the dirty-node queue; +4. updates demand and cached frontiers; +5. expands newly resolved gates; +6. returns new or changed work offers; +7. returns output prefixes that can commit; and +8. stops at local quiescence or budget exhaustion. + +`advance` may return work and output together. It does not encode progress as an exclusive +`MoreIo`, `RunCpu`, or `Blocked` state. + +If `locally_quiescent` is true, no more local expansion is possible without an external event. If +it is false, the owner should call `advance` again promptly; no task completion is required first. +Already returned work may be scheduled while local expansion continues. + +## Direct completion routing + +Task completion does not wake the root and scan the execution tree. Each task names its output +fact, and each fact has a small subscriber list: + +```rust +struct TaskSlot { + owner: ExecNodeId, + output: FactId, + state: TaskState, +} + +struct FactSlot { + value: Option, + generation: u64, + subscribers: SmallVec<[ExecNodeId; 2]>, +} +``` + +```text +TaskId -> FactId -> exact subscribers -> dirty-node queue +``` + +Duplicate wakes are coalesced by the queued bit. Durable fact and task state, not event ordering, +determines behavior. + +## Demand model + +Demand is the shared connection among pruning, conjunctions, and projection. Every demand block is +an independently refinable row window, for example 1,024 rows. + +```rust +struct DemandBlock { + rows: Range, + candidate: Arc, + generation: u64, + remaining_predicates: PredicateSet, + dynamic_inputs: DynamicInputSet, + state: BlockState, +} + +enum BlockState { + Open, + Sealed { exact: Arc }, +} +``` + +Demand only shrinks: + +```text +Open(M0) -> Open(M1) -> Open(M2) -> Sealed(M3) +``` + +### Open demand + +An open snapshot is an immutable upper bound on final demand: + +```rust +struct OpenDemand { + block: DemandBlockId, + rows: Range, + mask: Arc, + generation: u64, + remaining_predicates: PredicateSet, + expected_survivors: Option, +} +``` + +Open demand is visible to both filtering and projection planning. It may authorize: + +- pruning and metadata work; +- predicate I/O; +- predicate CPU over an immutable input snapshot; +- candidate projection reads; +- infallible speculative CPU needed to discover conditional projection reads; and +- scheduler scoring and cancellation decisions. + +Open demand does not authorize output commitment. It also does not authorize fallible or otherwise +demand-sensitive projection computation unless that operation has an explicit speculation-safety +classification. + +### Sealed demand + +A sealed snapshot is exact and immutable: + +```rust +struct SealedDemand { + block: DemandBlockId, + domain: DomainId, + rows: Range, + mask: Arc, + mask_offset: usize, +} +``` + +Sealed demand may authorize exact projection computation and output commitment. Projection reads +already admitted under open demand retain their identities and are promoted from candidate to +required rather than reissued. + +### Sealing + +For a conjunction, a block seals when its candidate mask is final: + +```text +candidate is empty +OR +all correctness-relevant predicates are complete or proven unnecessary +AND every dynamic demand input is frozen for this block +``` + +An empty candidate seals immediately because later intersections cannot add rows. Pruning evidence +may prove a predicate true, prove the whole block false, or leave row-level evaluation pending. +Optional evidence that has become irrelevant is retired before sealing. Late optional results cannot +modify a sealed block. + +Dynamic filters require an explicit snapshot boundary. A block must either wait for the relevant +dynamic-filter version, freeze that version, or specify that later versions apply only to future +blocks. + +Blocks may seal out of order. Ordered output commits only through the contiguous sealed frontier, +although candidate I/O and safe computation may run ahead. + +## Work model + +A work offer is descriptive, stable, and scheduler-visible: + +```rust +struct WorkItem { + id: WorkId, + owner: ExecNodeId, + kind: WorkKind, + phase: WorkPhase, + necessity: Necessity, + authorization: WorkAuthorization, + coverage: DomainCoverage, + estimated: Cost, + inputs: SmallVec<[FactId; 4]>, + output: FactId, +} + +enum WorkKind { + Read(ReadSpec), + Cpu(CpuSpec), +} + +enum Necessity { + Candidate, + Required, +} + +enum WorkAuthorization { + CandidateRead(OpenDemandId), + PredicateCompute(OpenDemandId), + SpeculativeCompute(OpenDemandId), + ExactCompute(SealedDemandId), + InfallibleMetadata, +} +``` + +The reactor publishes lifecycle changes rather than inventing new identities after each demand +revision: + +```rust +enum WorkUpdate { + Offer(WorkItem), + Rescore { + id: WorkId, + demand: DemandSnapshotId, + estimated: Cost, + }, + Promote { + id: WorkId, + authorization: WorkAuthorization, + }, + Eliminate { + id: WorkId, + }, +} +``` + +An unadmitted predicate task may be rescored against a newer, smaller open snapshot. A task already +running on an older snapshot may finish: the current candidate mask is a subset of its immutable +input, so its result remains usable. An in-flight read normally continues and may be reused even if +its immediate priority falls. + +## Read catalog and gates + +Static preparation exposes every read whose physical address is known. Each logical use contains: + +- a stable `ReadUseId` and physical `ReadKey`; +- owner, domain, and coverage; +- estimated bytes and phase; +- candidate or required status; and +- any dependency gate. + +Filter and projection uses may share one `ReadKey`. The scheduler performs one physical read and +publishes the result to every surviving logical use. + +Data-dependent addresses use gates: + +- dictionary values wait for decoded codes; +- list elements wait for decoded offsets; +- encoded pages may wait for an index or footer; and +- zoned data may wait for evidence. + +A gate records why work is not concrete and which fact resolves it. When that fact arrives, only +the gate owner runs and expands stable read uses once. + +## Pruning and evidence + +Pruning nodes produce facts that refine or explain demand. They are not a second copy of the row +filter pipeline. + +Evidence may: + +- eliminate a block; +- prove one predicate true for a block; +- reduce the candidate mask; +- expose additional reads; or +- remain inconclusive. + +Several predicates may share one metadata read and decode task. Their semantic results remain +separate even when their physical work is fused. + +Optional evidence competes with row-level filtering. The scheduler may skip expensive evidence if +an exact predicate is already cheap or ready. The ledger seals once exact correctness no longer +depends on that evidence. + +## Conjunctions + +Each conjunction retains a semantic identity for correctness, selectivity reporting, adaptive +ordering, and fallible behavior. Physical tasks may be separate or fused. + +For predicates `P0`, `P1`, and `P2`, one open block exposes all currently possible I/O and CPU +opportunities. The scheduler may choose: + +```text +sequential: + P0(M0) -> M1 + P1(M1) -> M2 + P2(M2) -> M3 + +concurrent: + P0(M0), P1(M0), P2(M0) + M3 = M0 & R0 & R1 & R2 + +hybrid: + prefetch all inputs + run P0 first + run P1 on survivors + run P2 early only if workers would otherwise idle +``` + +Every predicate CPU task receives an immutable demand snapshot. Applying its result requires: + +```text +current candidate is a subset of the task's input snapshot +``` + +This makes concurrently produced masks safe to intersect in any completion order for deterministic, +infallible conjunctions. + +Fallible predicates may require explicit ordering. Running a later predicate over a row that an +earlier predicate would remove can expose an error that sequential evaluation would not observe. +The plan must classify which predicates are commutative, speculation-safe, or ordered. + +## Projection + +One projection coordinator owns semantic output progress, but projection is not one monolithic +task. It may expose independent work for fields, expressions, dictionaries, lists, and other +operators. + +Projection planning observes open demand. Before sealing it may: + +- offer statically known reads as candidates; +- update read scores as candidate masks shrink; +- perform safe discovery reads and CPU work; +- expand gates for conditional reads; and +- eliminate work whose coverage is exactly empty. + +After sealing it may: + +- promote reads needed by the exact prefix; +- run exact or fallible decode and expression work; +- align field frontiers; +- construct compact values; and +- commit a dense output prefix. + +The coordinator tracks committed, ready, and scheduled frontiers per child. Expensive decode and +evaluation are stealable CPU tasks. Pack alignment, mask slicing, and cursor changes are cheap local +transitions. + +## Physical fusion versus semantic separation + +Keep semantic facts separate when they affect: + +- predicate completion and sealing; +- error ordering; +- demand derivation; +- cancellation; +- metrics or adaptive selectivity; or +- output commitment. + +Fuse physical work when operations: + +- use the same physical bytes or decoded input; +- share a demand snapshot and scheduling priority; +- are individually smaller than task-launch cost; and +- have compatible error and cancellation semantics. + +For example, `total > 100 AND total < 10_000` may share one read and decode. A cheap selective +`status = 'OPEN'` and an expensive description regular expression should normally remain separate +so the first can shrink the second's demand. + +## Scheduler interaction + +The global scheduler receives facts, not operator-specific policy. Useful fields include: + +- required versus candidate status; +- current candidate count and demand generation; +- estimated selectivity and confidence; +- I/O bytes, CPU cost, and retained-result cost; +- phase and distance from the commit frontier; +- shared read keys and cached inputs; +- dependency gates; +- cancellation group; and +- resource-credit class. + +The scheduler may favor sequential filtering when queues are full and speculative concurrency when +workers or I/O capacity would otherwise idle. High-latency projection reads may run under open +demand when expected survival is high. Large projection reads may wait when remaining filters are +likely selective. + +These choices affect resource use and latency, not correctness. The reactor supplies valid work +offers and authorization; the scheduler decides admission. + +## Planning and work stealing + +Each owner advances its morsel to a bounded planning horizon. Returned CPU tasks enter stealable +worker deques; returned reads enter the shared I/O scheduler. Completion messages target the owning +morsel mailbox. + +```text +owner advances morsel A + -> publishes A/W0, A/W1, A/W2 +worker 3 steals A/W1 +I/O executor runs A/W0 +owner executes work from morsel B while A waits +results enter A mailbox +owner drains A mailbox and advances A again +``` + +Planning should replenish work before queues drain, but it should not expand unlimited speculative +work. The exact watermark and look-ahead policy are scheduler choices recorded in the ideas note. + +## Pipelining within one morsel + +Different demand blocks may occupy different phases simultaneously: + +```text +block 0 exact projection and output +block 1 final predicate +block 2 first predicate +block 3 pruning evidence +blocks 4+ candidate read-ahead +``` + +This supplies stealable work without forcing every predicate for one block to run concurrently. +Compressed I/O may lead farther than decoded CPU work because its budget and retention cost are +tracked separately. + +## Backpressure and release + +The scheduler accounts separately for: + +- in-flight and retained compressed bytes; +- decoded arrays and retained child tails; +- CPU task inputs and outputs; +- root output buffering; and +- oversized indivisible units. + +The node capable of releasing a retained result owns and is charged for it. Results are released +when no uncommitted prefix or subscriber can use them. Candidate work cannot consume progress +credits reserved for required work that unblocks the oldest in-flight morsel. + +## Errors and cancellation + +Task failure is a durable fact routed to its owner. The reactor determines whether it is fatal, +irrelevant because demand became empty, or ordered behind an earlier result. Once a fatal error or +cancellation commits: + +- no further output may commit; +- unadmitted work is eliminated; +- cancellable in-flight work is notified; +- retained results and read uses are released; and +- duplicate late completions are safely ignored or dropped. + +Error ordering must be defined before fallible predicate or projection speculation is enabled. + +## Output + +An `ExecBatch` separates dense progress from compact values: + +```rust +struct ExecBatch { + rows: Range, + values: ArrayRef, + retained_bytes: usize, +} +``` + +The batch covers one non-empty dense prefix of sealed demand. `values.len()` equals the population +count of the exact mask over that prefix. An all-false mask produces zero values while still +advancing dense progress. + +Parents align row-equivalent children by capping their requested end. A root rebatcher hides +natural page, segment, and operator boundaries from consumers. + +## End-to-end example + +For: + +```sql +SELECT order_id, customer_name +FROM orders +WHERE status = 'OPEN' AND total > 100; +``` + +one block begins with open demand `M0`: + +```text +filter offers: + read status + read total + evaluate either predicate over M0 when its bytes are ready + +projection offers: + candidate read order_id + candidate read customer-name codes + +projection gate: + customer-name value pages wait for decoded codes +``` + +The scheduler may issue all four reads when projection latency is high and expected selectivity is +low. It may issue only filter reads when projection bytes are large and expected selectivity is +high. + +Suppose predicate results produce: + +```text +M1 = M0 & StatusMask +M2 = M1 & TotalMask +remaining predicates = {} +``` + +The ledger seals `M2`. Existing projection reads are promoted without duplication. Decoded codes +resolve the value-page gate, causing the reactor to offer exact value-page reads. After their decode +and gather tasks complete, the projection coordinator packs the fields and commits the block's dense +prefix. + +At every point the owner performs only cheap coordination. Any worker may execute the returned CPU +tasks. + +## Correctness invariants + +1. Exactly one thread mutates a morsel reactor at a time. +2. Tasks own their inputs and never retain mutable access to reactor state. +3. Demand shrinks monotonically within a block epoch. +4. Predicate results are applied only when current demand is a subset of their immutable input. +5. Only the ledger seals demand, and sealed demand never changes. +6. Open demand may authorize candidate I/O and explicitly safe CPU work, but not output commit. +7. Exact or fallible projection work requires sealed demand unless explicitly proven speculation-safe. +8. Work identities remain stable across rescore and candidate-to-required promotion. +9. Requiring one physical `ReadKey` through several logical uses performs at most one physical read. +10. Completion routes through durable facts to exact subscribers; event order is not semantic state. +11. A locally quiescent step has exposed every currently concrete work opportunity. +12. A non-quiescent step is re-advanced without waiting for an external event. +13. A sealed empty block may eliminate all remaining value work and still advances dense progress. +14.

Exact child +cardinality makes struct construction straightforward. + +### `Take` + +Executes codes over the requested outer range and mask. It currently executes the complete values +domain with an all-true mask, then constructs and optimizes a dictionary array. Codes and values +therefore do not share a row coordinate system even though they are children of one operator. + +### `ListPack` + +Reads `row_count + 1` offsets, derives one contiguous element range, reads all elements in that +range, reconstructs the list, and finally filters outer rows. This preserves list semantics but can +make one outer split expand into a much larger element request. + +### `Eval` and row-index operators + +`Eval` applies a bound expression to its child result. Row-index operators introduce global row +identity while preserving or partitioning work across compatible children. + +### `Zoned` + +The normal data path delegates to the data plan.

That document derived the execution +framework from a typed dependency graph with three primitives; this one records the next +conversation, which simplified it further. The demand system stops being a runtime propagation +network and becomes bind-time routing; the two-conformance question (positional versus compacted +values) collapses to a single value contract with one cardinality-changing node; and the +components regroup into a three-part architecture: stateful per-layout exec plans, a demand mask +system with planning-time pushdown, and a scheduler licensed to run work optimistically by one +commutation law. It is a thinking document, not a commitment. + +The conclusion in one sentence: **operators are stateful and demand-ignorant, demand is a +bind-time-routed skipping mechanism whose only runtime content is masks, and speculation is legal +because selection commutes with total row-local kernels — with `filter` as the single node that +requires sealed demand.** + +## 1. Refinements to the `ExecNode` trait + +The graph model's trait (`expand` / `gate` / `combine`) survives, with five refinements from this +discussion: + +1. **Declarative edges, derived expand.** `expand` bundles three jobs — coordinate cutting, + pricing, obligation emission — and most nodes have an opinion about none of them. The base + trait becomes `edges()` (child, `DomainMap`, coverage table) plus `combine`; a generic + implementation derives `expand` from `edges()`. Hand-written `expand` remains as an override + for the nodes that genuinely price or prune (Zoned, Dict, List). This makes ease-of-use + measurable in tiers: tier 0 writes nothing (generic coverage), tier 1 writes `combine`, + tier 2 overrides the cut, tier 3 adds a gate. A new encoding landing at tier 2 by default + indicates a framework gap, not an author problem. +2. **`gate` is `expand` re-entered with a fact.** Give expand a `facts` input; it emits + `Needs(gate)` and returns when a fact is absent, and the driver re-calls it at fact-seal. + Obligations are keyed, so re-emission dedups through the cells. Dict becomes one linear + function instead of two halves sharing a gate id. +3. **Uniform node output.** A node's output is a `Value` in one lattice (`Array | Bound | Map`), + so dict's gather map is an ordinary edge rather than a fact side-channel in `ChildResults`, + and realize nodes stop being a special kind (their value happens to be a map). This removes + the "dict remap wart" accepted as decision 13. +4. **Combine must stay O(parts); per-row combines must be priced.** The graph model's sketches + broke their own rule: `DictExec::combine` calls a take kernel and the conjunct's combine ANDs + masks — per-row work running inline, unpriced, on whichever thread seals the last input + (possibly an IO completion thread). Either combine only wraps (per-row work becomes emitted + kernels — `InputRef::Node` already expresses this), or combine declares a cost and the driver + inlines below a floor and pools above it. Lean: admit the declared-cost form up front so the + granularity floor stays one uniform mechanism. The invariant: **a combine that touches rows + must be priceable.** +5. **Combine-once stands; `absorb` is the one escape hatch.** Combine runs once per (node, span) + on Final inputs. The question "can a node emit a partial value?" resolves as: combine-once + forbids a partial value of a fixed span but permits an arbitrarily fine complete value of a + smaller span, and the boundary is chosen in `expand` (statically) or by the driver's + rebatcher (opportunistically — merging adjacent complete parts is generic, not node + semantics). What is genuinely lost is arrival-time folding, and two of its wins are real: + peak memory (combine-at-n holds n−1 parts hostage to a straggler; a fold retains one + accumulator) and cache warmth (folding a part on the thread that sealed it touches bytes + still in L2). The opt-in refinement: + + ```rust + // Accumulator is a Value in the existing lattice — no per-node scratch type. + fn absorb(&self, span: SpanRef, acc: Value, part: PartRef) -> Value; + ``` + + restricted to order-free (commutative, associative) folds. The default buffer-then-combine + path is a free differential oracle: an order-dependent absorb diverges from it and fails the + harness, so decision 14's exclusion becomes a test rather than a rule to trust. Absorb stays + the refinement, not the base: with combine as the base, span scratch is homogeneous and the + driver owns the countdown; absorb-only would make every author define scratch and re-implement + arity (dynamic post-gate) by hand. + +The struct zip clarification belongs here: combine is **not** a scheduled task with n dependency +edges — that is the reactor shape and the measured 2.3x. It is a continuation run inline at +countdown-zero on the adopting thread, which is exactly why refinement 4's cost discipline +matters. + +## 2. Demand routing is bind-time, not runtime + +In the graph model, demand "propagates": each Plan node reads its incoming bound, cuts, and +forwards derived demand — a hop per node. But each hop only applies the edge's `DomainMap` and a +coverage cut; the maps are statically known (except gated ones) and map composition is +associative. So the binder precomposes: for each demand **producer** (a conjunct, a limit, a +pruner) and each ultimate **consumer** (a scan leaf, an IO source), compute the composed map +`producer-domain -> consumer-domain` once and wire the producer's cell directly to the consumer. + +- **Operators never see, forward, or handle demand.** They *subscribe*: a consumer that can + exploit demand reads its wired cell through the precomposed map at batch boundaries; one that + cannot ignores it and is merely eager — correct but unoptimized. Demand-correctness + concentrates in producers (few, core-owned) and one binder pass (one algorithm, one property: + composed map ≡ hop-by-hop composition). +- **Three things stay runtime, all localized:** gated maps snap their realized link into the + routing table at fact-seal (the composition on both sides of the hole is still static); demand + meets are the cell's meet, not propagation; data-dependent producers (pruning from decoded + stats) run at runtime but still just write their cell. +- **Invariant:** demand routing is static wiring plus gate-snapped links; demand *content* is + runtime; operators are subscribers, never forwarders. + +Consequences to design in: the scheduler prices per-consumer counts from the routing table +(producer cell × composed map), and superset-adoption must hold across *composed* maps — a new +`DomainMap` suite property (composition preserves the superset law), provable once centrally. + +## 3. The commutation law + +Deferral needs a legality argument; this discussion found it as one law. For a kernel `f` and a +demand set `R` no larger than the open bound: + +```text +f(sel_R(x)) = sel_M(R)(f(x)) M = the edge's DomainMap +``` + +Selection commutes with `f`, transported through the map. Read right-to-left it licenses +**speculation**: run `f` early on the open (superset) demand, correct afterwards with the closed +selection. Requirements, both testable: + +1. **Row-local:** output row j depends only on input row j. Excludes aggregates, folds, limits — + as intended. +2. **Total on the superset:** speculative execution touches rows the closed demand would have + excluded, and those rows can be poison (division by zero, invalid bytes in a dead row). So + kernels must not trap: errors are values, masked out if the row does not survive. A kernel + that cannot be total is ineligible for speculation — a per-kernel flag, priced like + everything else. + +Corollaries: the conjunct slot-meet-at-publish (graph model §7) is this law with `f = eval` and +`sel = mask-AND`; the eager oracle is the law applied maximally (open = top everywhere, one +selection at the end), which is *why* it is a valid oracle; the three laziness refinements of +graph model §4 are all instances. The mask density switch is the law's economics: the correction +is free when the target is positional (nothing to do) and a real gather when it is compacted. + +## 4. One value contract; gather is the only cardinality change + +A long detour through "need versus definedness" (does a consumer want n→n with undefined rows, +or n→m with rows removed?) collapsed to a deletion: + +> **Every value is positional over its domain (n→n; rows outside the need set are undefined and +> may hold anything). There is exactly one cardinality-changing primitive — gather-by-map — and +> it is an explicit node the planner places, never a mode an operator or kernel selects at +> runtime.** + +"Compacted data" is not a second value shape; it is positional data *in a smaller domain*, +reached by crossing a domain-change edge whose map is the sealed mask — the same machinery as +dict values and list elements (graph model §3's "gated realize (gather set)" row already +contained it: the survivor domain is a gated child domain, realized when the mask seals, with +demand transported through it by unmap). + +This kills the two-code-path objection: kernels have one contract, `gather` is one ordinary +priced node, and nothing branches on a mode at execution time. The audit across scan execution: + +- Filter spine: eval kernels n→n in the root domain; masks meet in the cell; **zero** gathers. +- Projection/emit: one gather per column at the survivor-domain crossing; `select *` with no + filter has an identity map and no gather node at all. +- Expensive predicate over sparse demand (cascade compaction): the one case that looks like a + runtime mode choice. The actor is a **Plan node**: its expand reads the sealed prior bound's + density — a fact — and splices either `eval(positional)` or `gather -> eval -> unmap`. A + planning decision made late with runtime facts, through the mechanism that exists for exactly + that; the kernel never knows. +- Indexes/zone maps produce bounds, not values; a probe that naturally returns survivors is a + node whose output edge lives in the survivor domain, declared in the plan. +- Joins and aggregations sit above the scan and receive the emitted domain; a join probe's + output is also gather-by-map into a new domain, weak evidence the primitive is right. + +**At the leaf** the contract holds because the leaf has a second, cheaper cardinality mechanism +that is not gather: **cutting the domain**. Expand cuts demand against the segment/page table; +only overlapping extents get Read obligations; each read+decode produces a plain positional +array over that extent's (shifted) domain. A sparsely-demanded column is several small positional +pieces over domains that exist, while un-demanded extents never exist — no holey arrays. +Undefinedness at a leaf only ever means dead rows *inside* a block that was read (block-oriented +decode reads whole blocks; the rounding slack is precisely what totality tolerates). Row-granular +skipping inside a block, where priced, is the explicit `decode -> gather(demanded)` kernel pair — +the per-part compaction node of graph model §9. + +So demand's entire runtime meaning is: **sections whose rows are all undefined are skipped — +no IO, no decode, no kernels — and where shape requires a value to exist (a zip needs all +fields), a canonical placeholder of the right length and dtype stands in, never read.** The +placeholder should be canonical (a designated constant/null array) so the oracle can hash +need-set rows cleanly and a wrongly-read placeholder fails loudly; a debug mode that poisons +placeholders catches that class. Two skip granularities, then: domain cutting (free, structural, +at expand) and gather (paid, a node); IO skipping is always the first kind, which is why demand +never reaches a read as a filter — by the time a read exists, its extent *is* the demand rounded +to block boundaries. + +### Where eliding the gather wins big + +Three cases where running positionally over dead rows beats compacting, with the first unbounded: + +1. **Wide values.** `take` costs O(bytes moved); the saving is O(rows skipped). At 95% + survivorship on a 200-byte string column, compaction copies ~190 bytes/row to avoid 5% of a + downstream pass; across a k-conjunct chain, compact-per-stage copies the column k times while + positional copies it zero times before emit (which compacts once anyway). String-heavy scans + are bandwidth-limited, so this factor multiplies the whole scan. +2. **Structure destruction.** Positional values can stay encoded — runs, codes, packing intact — + and run-aware or encoded-domain kernels execute at O(runs) over all rows including dead ones. + Compaction at high survivorship shatters runs and forces decode-to-flat: 5% dead-row overhead + avoided, 10–100x structure advantage lost. +3. **Sharing.** A decoded block with fan-out f is one buffer plus f selections positionally; + compact-per-consumer forks f near-full copies and silently defeats the keyed-cell dedup. + +All three invert under sparse demand, which is exactly when the planner splices the gather. The +default plan therefore has gathers **only at emit**, and the density-directed exception is a +Plan-node decision (§4 above), denominated in bytes moved and structure preserved, not row +counts. + +## 5. Evidence: FlatReader v1 already runs this model in miniature + +`vortex-layout/src/layouts/flat/reader.rs` contains the design ad hoc: + +- `filter_evaluation` takes a positional mask (the need set, in domain coordinates) and has the + exact density switch (`EXPR_EVAL_THRESHOLD = 0.2`): the dense arm evaluates over **all rows** + then `bitand`s — the law's cheap half in production; the sparse arm does + `filter -> eval -> intersect_by_rank` — gather, narrow eval, and rank-transport back. + `intersect_by_rank` **is** demand unmap through the gather's domain change: rank is the gather + map read backwards, bridging survivor coordinates to domain coordinates. (Every early + compaction buys eval savings at the price of this transport — which belongs in the same + inequality that decides whether to compact.) +- `projection_evaluation` is decode, one explicit `filter`, then the expression: the survivor + crossing as an explicit operation at the leaf. +- The `TODO` on the threshold ("should probably be dynamic... perhaps expressions decide for + themselves") is answered: the decision is planning's, priced from the kernel table, not the + expression's and not a constant. + +Three deltas separate v1 flat from the model, and only one is semantic: + +1. Demand is a one-shot sealed `MaskFuture`, not a refinable cell — v1 flat only ever sees closed + demand (the degenerate case; no speculation, no refinement after issue). +2. The projection filter is **mandatory, and the code says why**: *"we must filter first before + applying the expression, as the expression may depend on the filtered rows being removed e.g. + `CAST(a, u8) WHERE a < 256`"*. That is a direct counterexample to kernel totality: v1 + projection expressions may trap on dead rows, and correctness leans on compaction-first. The + elective-gather optimization is unsound against today's expression semantics until compute + has errors-as-values, or a `can_trap` classification gates elision to total expressions. This + is the single concrete work item the whole definedness discussion reduces to. +3. Whole-segment decode always: consistent with the leaf story (extent cutting is the chunked + layer's job), but the sparse arm's win today is eval-only, not IO or decode. + +## 6. The three-part architecture + +The discussion's target shape, stated as three parts: + +1. **A stateful exec plan per layout.** Operator instances in the DuckDB/Velox style — + thread-pinned, batch-pushing, holding buffers, accumulators, and scratch; split per unit or + thread for parallelism. Statefulness is *legal because of part 2*: demand is not the + operators' job, so instance state cannot corrupt skipping. An operator that exploits demand + subscribes to its wired cell; one that ignores it is merely eager, never wrong — a kinder + third-party failure mode than v2-style propagate-the-mask-or-break. (The graph model's fused + private chains running on a pinned thread with `ThreadCtx` scratch were already this, + anonymous; this names it as the author-visible thing.) +2. **A demand mask system.** Pushdown composed at planning into the producer-to-consumer routing + table (§2); masks as the runtime content; a row-domain transform node exactly where a + non-identity crossing occurs (chunk shifts static and inline; gather/list/dict gated and + snapped at fact-seal). One demand lattice — need; no second demand type at execution. +3. **A scheduler that sees IO and CPU/state nodes and runs them optimistically.** The commutation + law (§3) is its license: IO is always speculable (a superset read adopts by intersection); + CPU is speculable when the kernel is total and row-local. Cascade, eager, adaptive, and + prefetch are one policy dial — where on the open-to-closed spectrum each work item runs — + priced by EV against the IO watermark and byte credits. + +Two constraints make the composition sound: + +- **`filter` (the gather node) is the single synchronization point: it requires sealed demand.** + Everything else prefers sealed but may run speculatively on open demand. The seal is + per-fragment/span, so this is a local wavefront, not a phase barrier. +- **Speculation stops at non-row-local state.** A stateful operator may accumulate speculative + positional parts (accumulation of independent parts is order-free); any order-dependent fold + consumes only post-filter, sealed-demand data. This is the absorb boundary of §1 relocated to + the architecture level. + +The eager oracle survives intact: demand = top, placeholders nowhere, filters run with all-true +selections — every part degenerates to plain eager execution, and every configuration of parts +must hash-match it on need-set rows. + +### Demand subscribers are few and stratified + +A follow-up observation pins down who actually consumes demand, shrinking open question 5: + +- **Must consume (sealed):** gather/filter nodes — the sealed mask *is* their map; they cannot + run without it. +- **Should consume (where skipping pays):** data-loading leaves — extent cutting is the only + place demand converts to absent IO, and it is one cell read per expand. +- **May ignore (and it is not the operator's choice):** predicate and projection inputs. Running + a conjunct's field IO+CPU in parallel with its siblings is the *scheduler declining to wait* + for the prior bound, not an operator ignoring demand; loading a projection column before the + mask seals is the scheduler running a leaf on the open bound (legal by superset adoption, + priced against byte credits). Cascade versus eager-parallel and prefetch versus demand-wait + are admission-timing policies on the same graph — the operator code is identical. + +Consequence for counting: demanded-row counts are an **upper bound** that speculative admission +deliberately overshoots; the overshoot must be charged to the speculation budget, never counted +as free (lands in the admission machinery, next-discussion problem 4). + +### The filter/project split-granularity mismatch + +A problem the current implementations cannot express: today one split set serves the whole scan, +formed as the union of natural boundaries across *all* referenced columns +(`register_splits` -> `RowSplits`). A coarse-chunked filter column is therefore artificially cut +to the fine boundaries of the projected columns, and filter-phase work runs at projection +granularity — per-split fixed machinery multiplied by a count the filter never asked for. This +is distinct from the `select *` small-splits storm (next-discussion problem 1): that is "splits +too small absolutely"; this is "splits too small *for one phase* because another phase's +geometry leaked into the shared split set." + +The graph model dissolves it in principle: span formation is per node — each expand cuts against +its own coverage, so the eval spine spans the filter column's chunks while the projection Plan +node spans the union of projected boundaries only (exactly as the worked example draws it), and +driver-side slicing absorbs the misalignment at combine. But this holds only if +**fragment/ledger granularity is not derived from the all-columns boundary union** — which makes +it a constraint on the unit-formation design (problem 1), not a free consequence. + +## 6a. Two planes: in-band masks, out-of-band demand + +A late refinement reconciles the engines-style streaming picture (DuckDB pipelines with +selection vectors in the chunk; Velox drivers with FilterProject and LazyVector-driven late +materialization) with the demand system: + +- **Data plane (in-band, exact, authoritative).** Batches and conjunct masks stream through the + operator chain; the AND and the gather happen where the masks arrive. The gather's requirement + is that *its in-band mask input is final* — an ordinary dataflow dependency, no longer a + demand-system event. +- **Control plane (out-of-band, advisory, never blocking).** The demand cells and bind-time + routing survive as a side channel with weaker semantics: monotone shrinking supersets, read at + admission points (leaf extent cuts, scheduler pricing), never waited on. The commutation law + makes any admission-time snapshot sound; the in-band plane corrects everything at the gather. + This is sideways information passing (DuckDB dynamic join filters, Velox dynamicFilters) made + the primitive rather than a bolt-on — and because the plane only promises supersets, its + content generalizes beyond exact masks to any conservative summary: range bounds, zone + verdicts, bloom filters, IN-lists, a limit counter. + +Optimistic conjunct IO and optimistic projection IO are then the same move: admit reads against +whatever the OOB cell currently holds (top if nothing landed). Cascade versus parallel is "how +stale was the snapshot at admission" — a continuum, not two modes. A lost or late OOB update can +only cost performance, never correctness; the differential harness should therefore run with the +OOB plane disabled and maximally delayed and require identical results. + +## 6b. Morsel-driven build sketch + +The concrete instantiation of the three parts, as currently intended: + +- **Pipelines.** One pipeline per conjunct and a small number per projection, handed to the + scheduler. Struct is *not* a pipeline breaker: fields run as sequential stages of one pipeline + instance, with elective field-parallel fan-out only when a field's work exceeds the + granularity floor. The only barrier-like point is the per-range mask meet, a countdown. IO + tasks precede CPU pipelines; each fixed-size filter or projection range carries its demand + mask input. +- **Morsel planning.** Each claimed morsel is planned **once**, against an OOB demand snapshot: + empty snapshot skips the subtree; planning emits IO tasks, CPU pipeline activations, and + further planning tasks. Demand is re-read at IO admission, so the shrink between plan time and + issue is captured without re-planning (superset-sound; planned tasks whose demand sealed empty + evaporate as candidates). The one exception to one-off planning: gated subtrees (dict values, + list elements, zoned verdicts) re-plan **on facts** — that is the "more planning" arm, not + re-planning on refinement. +- **Pruning is warm-up work, not a phase.** Zone-map metadata is file-scoped (a few small + segments covering all zones), so the first morsels issue the pruning-metadata reads *and* + their first conjunct's IO optimistically in parallel — the early wave simply does not benefit + from pruning (the accepted speculation cost, overlapped with IO latency). When the stats fact + seals, verdicts for every zone in the file are computed in one cheap bulk pass and written to + the OOB cells; every subsequent morsel's planning snapshot already contains the prune, paying + zero pruning IO and zero pruning compute, with some subtrees never planned at all. The more + morsels a file has, the closer pruning is to free. +- **One-off planning, restated.** Planning runs once per morsel against the snapshot; a shrink + after t0 is captured by one late look at the demand cell just before each read issues (drop if + dead, shrink if smaller — safe because a read against stale larger demand is merely a superset). + There is no re-planning on refinement. Dict/list are not an exception: t0 planning emits a + deferred "plan this bit when fact X seals" note — one-off planning, part of which cannot start + at t0. +- **Per-morsel stash.** Each morsel owns a scratch store keyed by (plan edge, range): decoded + arrays shared between filter and projection, partially computed arrays, masks awaiting the + meet. Lifetime is the morsel's; the whole stash drops at retire; the morsel's live bytes *are* + the stash plus in-flight IO, making the deferred memory approximation exact. Cross-morsel + sharing shrinks to a thin explicit list of scan-wide keyed cells (dictionary values, file + stats, the pruning fact). Boundary case, recorded: once morsel boundaries stop being the + all-columns split union, a projected column's chunk can straddle two morsels — default is to + decode it twice (the bounded-duplicate principle); promote straddlers to scan-wide cells only + if measurement says so. +- **Morsels are typed by row domain.** A domain change does not add bookkeeping inside the outer + morsel; it spawns **child-domain morsels** at gate seal — own demand (the gather set, sealed + at birth), own pipelines (the values/elements subplan), own stash — whose results land in the + parent morsel's stash for the parent's combine. A heavy list-elements subtree becomes several + child morsels: parallelism inside one outer row range. **Inner-domain morsels take priority + over claiming new outer splits** — depth-first in work-stealing form (run own newest, steal + oldest/outermost). This is the memory bound as much as a latency rule: finish-what's-started + keeps work-in-progress near workers × domain-depth, and "all rows claimed" generalizes to + "all rows claimed in every domain." +- **Parallelism.** Morsels are the parallel unit; per-morsel (not per-thread) operator state; + work stealing when no new morsel can be claimed, with wakes preferring the owning worker's + deque so continuations run warm. No new morsels when: (1) all rows claimed; (2) the memory + limit binds (deferred — see below); (3) a limit has sealed the remaining tail. +- **IO coalescing.** Morsel planning emits the morsel's reads as one batch and the morsel's + segments are file-adjacent, so batch-scope coalescing is expected to suffice; dedup by + `SegmentId` comes separately from the keyed cells. Verified, not assumed: the stress matrix + carries a cold-scan IO parity gate (same bytes, comparable request count versus V1), and only + its failure justifies more machinery. +- **Emission and limits.** Pull-driven: the consumer stopping stops morsel claiming; in-flight + morsels finish or park. Limit is a first-k demand producer at the sink writing into + projection's OOB cells (per-morsel for ordered prefix consumption; a shared global survivor + counter for unordered), transitively bounding filter work — the one legitimately cross-morsel + cell. +- **Deferred, recorded:** the memory model — per-morsel live-byte approximation, attribution of + shared cells (first-needer versus split versus shared pool), and the memory-times-ordering + deadlock (complete-but-unemittable morsels holding bytes the oldest morsel needs; candidate + fix: the oldest unemitted morsel is always admissible). + +### Stress matrix versus V1 + +Correctness (differential, row-hash on the need set): every layout × {no filter, selective, +non-selective, all-false} × {aligned, unaligned chunks} × {nulls, trapping expressions} × +range boundaries straddling chunk and page edges; OOB disabled and maximally delayed; absorb +versus its blanket impl. Scheduler invariants in a deterministic simulator: no deadlock under +memory × ordering × limit × cancellation; adversarial IO completion orders; steal-versus-wake +races. Performance gates: Q01/Q06 (the prefetch split), FineWeb `select *` (small-splits storm), +selective string predicates (cascade and wide-value elision), dict page skipping, cold-scan IO +parity, contention counters (entries-considered-per-admission ≈ 1, queue-idle ≈ 0). Layout +coverage audit: each V1 layout (flat, chunked, struct, dict, list, zoned, row_idx, partitioned, +table, compressed, buffered, repartition, foreign, file_stats) needs its one-line story or a V1 +fallback adapter mid-tree during migration; plus the degenerate paths — `select *` reduced +machinery, tiny single-morsel scans without scheduler spin-up, repeated-scan fact reuse. + +## 7. Decisions recorded from this discussion + +1. Base trait is `edges()` + `combine` with expand derived generically; hand-written expand is an + override tier; `gate` merges into re-entrant expand with facts. +2. Node outputs are uniformly `Value` (`Array | Bound | Map`); no fact side-channel in + `ChildResults` (supersedes the graph model's decision 13 wart). +3. A combine that touches rows must be priceable: wrap-only combines run inline; per-row + combines are declared-cost and floor-governed (or reified as emitted kernels). +4. `absorb(span, acc: Value, part) -> Value` is an opt-in refinement for order-free folds; + buffer-then-combine is its blanket impl and free differential oracle; motivated by peak + memory under stragglers and producer-thread cache warmth. +5. Demand routing is composed at bind into a producer-to-consumer table; operators subscribe and + never forward; gated maps snap links at fact-seal; meets are cell meets. +6. The commutation law `f(sel_R(x)) = sel_M(R)(f(x))` for row-local, total-on-superset kernels, + transported through edge maps, is the single legality argument for all speculation and + laziness; totality (errors as values, never trap) is a kernel-eligibility flag. +7. One value contract: positional over the value's domain; gather-by-map is the only + cardinality-changing primitive, always an explicit planned node; "compacted" is positional in + a survivor (gated child) domain. +8. Two skip granularities: domain cutting in expand (free; all IO-level skipping) and gather (a + priced node; default placement emit-only; early placement is a Plan-node expansion decision on + density facts). +9. All-undef sections are skipped structurally; shape-required values are canonical placeholders + (poisoned in debug), never read. +10. The elision economics are denominated in bytes moved and structure preserved (wide values, + encoded-domain execution, sharing), not row counts. +11. `intersect_by_rank` is recognized as demand unmap through a gather's domain change; its cost + belongs in the compaction-placement inequality. +12. Target architecture is the three parts of §6 with the two constraints: sealed-demand filter + as the only sync point, and speculation stopping at non-row-local state. + +## 8. Open questions + +Carried forward or newly raised: + +1. **Kernel totality audit.** How much of the current expression/compute layer is already total + (`can_trap = false`)? The `CAST(a, u8) WHERE a < 256` class needs either errors-as-values or + a conservative trap classification before elective gathers are sound. +2. **Placeholder representation.** Canonical constant/null array per dtype; how does the oracle + hash need-set rows only, and what does the debug poison look like? +3. **Composed-map superset law.** Property suite addition: composition preserves + superset-adoption; gated snap preserves it across the healed link. +4. **Pricing from the routing table.** Per-consumer demanded counts derived as + producer-cell × composed-map — does this reproduce the per-edge counts EV admission assumed? +5. **Operator subscription API.** Narrowed by the subscriber stratification (§6): only leaves + (extent cut) and gathers (map) need it; remaining question is what a leaf sees at expand + (cell version, mapped bound, density) and what it may cache between batches. +5a. **Fragment formation must not use the all-columns boundary union** (the filter/project + split-granularity mismatch, §6) — a constraint to carry into next-discussion problem 1's + unit-formation algorithm, alongside charging speculative overshoot to the speculation + budget in problem 4's counting. +6. **Where the density fact for late gather placement lives** — shared with problem 4's + `remaining_selectivity` estimation machinery rather than new. +7. **Velox/DuckDB-style instance splitting** (part 1): instance per unit, per thread, or per + pipeline — and how instance state interacts with unit coalescing (next-discussion problem 1). +8.

The three laws + +Everything in the design is licensed by three statements. + +1. **Value contract.** Every in-flight value is *positional over its row domain* (length n; rows + outside the current need set are undefined and may hold anything). There is exactly one + cardinality-changing primitive — **gather-by-map** — and it is an explicit planned node, + never a runtime mode. "Compacted" data is ordinary positional data in a smaller (survivor) + domain, reached by a domain-change edge whose map is a sealed mask: the same machinery as + dict values and list elements. +2. **Commutation law.** For a row-local kernel `f`, total on its domain, and any superset + snapshot of demand: `f(sel_R(x)) = sel_M(R)(f(x))`, transported through the edge's + `DomainMap`. Running work early on stale, larger demand is therefore always correct; the + selection applied later fixes it. Kernels must not trap on undefined rows (errors are + values); a kernel that cannot be total is ineligible for speculation. +3. **Advisory demand.** Demand information is *never required and never blocks*. It is read at + admission points; a lost or late update can only cost performance. The single + synchronization point in the system is the gather's in-band mask input being final — an + ordinary dataflow dependency. + +## 3. Two planes + +- **Data plane (in-band, exact, authoritative).** Batches and conjunct masks stream through + operator pipelines. Masks are values; the AND happens where they meet; the gather consumes + the final mask as its map. Correctness lives entirely here. +- **Control plane (out-of-band, advisory).** Demand cells, wired at bind time by composing the + plan's `DomainMap`s into a producer-to-consumer routing table. Content is any *monotone + shrinking superset*: exact bounds, zone verdicts, bloom filters or IN-lists from joins + (sideways information passing is this plane, not a later feature), and the limit counter. + Consumers are admission points only: morsel planning, the pre-issue look of an IO task, and + scheduler pricing. Operators in a pipeline never see this plane. + +Optimistic conjunct IO and optimistic projection IO are the same move: admit reads against +whatever the cell currently holds (top if nothing landed). Cascade versus parallel-eager is +"how stale was the snapshot at admission" — a continuum controlled by the scheduler, not two +code paths. The conjunct sequence itself is the same kind of decision: an admission ordering +priced from the kernel table and adaptive selectivity estimates, not plan structure. + +## 4. Architecture + +Three parts. + +### 4.1 Stateful exec plans + +Per layout, per scan: operator pipelines in the DuckDB/Velox style — instances that hold +buffers, accumulators, and scratch, owned by the morsel (not the thread) and driven as plain +function calls. Pipelines are compiled, not authored: the binder derives kernel chains from +the layout declarations (§9), fuses privately connected stages into templates, and morsel +planning instantiates per-morsel instances from them. One pipeline per conjunct; a small number per projection. Struct is **not** a +pipeline breaker: fields are sequential stages of one instance, with elective field-parallel +fan-out only above the granularity floor. The only barrier-like point is the per-range mask +meet, implemented as a countdown; the AND folds on arrival, so the meet holds one accumulator +mask rather than k conjunct parts. Statefulness is safe because demand is not the operators' +job (law 3). + +Every fan-in readiness check is this countdown, generalized. Where input boundaries are +static, ranges are cut at the boundary union and the counter is parts-outstanding. Where +producers advance variable prefixes (elective field fan-out, child-domain results), the +counter is a generation-tagged word in the stash — (epoch, children still at the emit +frontier) — decremented in O(1) only by a producer advancing *past* the frontier; blockers +pin the frontier, so the check is race-free, and the epoch resolves the reinstall race. The +decrement to zero enqueues the combine, which computes the min frontier itself (O(fan-out), +work it already pays), emits the common prefix, and installs the next blocker set. A struct +zip therefore has no task at all until every field is non-empty: the last producer is the +scheduler check, no exact min is maintained (a tournament tree's O(log n) increase-key buys +a value nobody reads between activations), and entries-per-admission ≈ 1 is preserved. + +### 4.2 The demand system + +The control plane of §3: bind-time routing table; cells per (domain, region); producers are +pruning, conjunct seals, joins, and the limit; consumers are admission points. Non-identity +domain relationships (chunk shifts, dict codes-to-values, list offsets, the filter's survivor +crossing) are edge maps — static ones composed at bind, gated ones snapped in when their fact +seals. + +Cells are scoped per (domain, region) because demand content must only shrink: a scan-wide +needs aggregate across morsels would *grow* as morsels are claimed — the wrong lattice +direction. Anything that accumulates needs across morsels (dict values pages, straddling +chunks) is work dedup through keyed data cells, never demand; the limit is the one legitimate +cross-morsel demand precisely because remaining-k shrinks (§8). + +### 4.3 The scheduler + +Morsel-driven with work stealing. + +- **Morsels are typed by row domain** and claimed from a per-domain queue. A domain change + spawns **child-domain morsels** at gate seal — own demand (the gather set, sealed at birth), + own pipelines, own stash. Where the child domain is morsel-private (list elements), results + land in the parent's stash for the parent's combine; where it is scan-static (dict values), + results land in the scan-wide keyed cells of §6 and the parent's stash holds references — + reads dedup by `SegmentId` across morsels either way. +- **Depth-first priority**: inner-domain morsels run before new outer splits are claimed + (workers run their own newest work, steal the oldest/outermost). This bounds work-in-progress + near workers × domain-depth and drains stashes before opening new ones. +- **No new morsels when**: (1) all rows claimed, in every domain; (2) the memory limit binds + (deferred, §7); (3) the limit has sealed the remaining tail. +- **Work stealing**: the stolen unit is a task (a range's pipeline activation, an IO + continuation); wakes prefer the owning worker's deque so continuations run cache-warm. + +## 5. The morsel lifecycle + +```text +scan open: lower + bind once + - routing table (composed maps), kernel table, pipelines per layout + - file-level stats resolve; scan-wide cells allocated (dictionaries, stats) + +per morsel (row domain R, rows [a, b)): + + 1. PLAN (once, cheap, inline) + - read OOB demand snapshot; a subtree with empty demand is never planned + - cut against coverage tables; emit IO tasks, pipeline activations, + and deferred notes ("plan X when fact F seals") for gated subtrees + - first-wave morsels also emit the pruning-metadata reads (see below) + 2. IO + - each read takes one late look at its demand cell just before issue + (drop if dead, shrink if smaller); reads batch-coalesce within the + morsel plan; dedup via scan-wide cells by SegmentId + 3. FILTER + - conjunct pipelines run as CPU tasks; masks stream in-band and meet + at the countdown; a sealed conjunct also writes its bound to the + OOB plane for later morsels and later-admitted reads + 4. GATHER + - the one cardinality change: sealed mask becomes the survivor-domain + map; runs when its in-band mask input is final + 5. PROJECT + EMIT + - projection pipelines reuse stash entries (decodes shared with the + filter); pack; emit pull-driven and morsel-ordered + 6. RETIRE + - stash dropped wholesale; child morsels must already be retired +``` + +**Pruning is warm-up work, not a phase.** Zone-map metadata is file-scoped and small. The first +morsels issue pruning-metadata reads and their first conjunct's IO optimistically in parallel; +the early wave simply does not benefit from pruning (accepted speculation cost, overlapped with +IO latency). When the stats fact seals, verdicts for every zone are computed in one bulk pass +and written to the OOB cells; every subsequent morsel is pruned for free, some subtrees never +planned. The more morsels a file has, the closer pruning is to free. + +**One-off planning.** Planning never reruns on demand refinement; the late look at IO issue +captures the shrink (safe by law 2). Gated subtrees are deferred planning, not re-planning. + +## 6. The per-morsel stash + +Each morsel owns a scratch store keyed by (plan edge, range): decoded arrays shared between +filter and projection, partially computed arrays, masks awaiting the meet, child-morsel +results. Lifetime is the morsel's; the whole stash drops at retire. The morsel's live bytes are +the stash plus in-flight IO — the memory accounting unit. Cross-morsel sharing is a short +explicit list of scan-wide keyed cells: dictionary values, file stats, the pruning fact. +Chunks straddling a morsel boundary are decoded twice by default (bounded-duplicate +principle); promote straddlers to scan-wide cells only on measured need. + +The fan-in counter of §4.1 lives here, and its API has three faces (design-shaped sketch): + +```rust +// Driver-internal; never part of the layout surface (§9). +// One per (fan-in point, range); arity installed post-gate when dynamic. +struct FanIn { + epoch_blockers: AtomicU64, // packed (epoch, children still at the emit frontier) + emit_frontier: u64, // E — stable while blockers > 0; written at fire + inputs: SmallVec, // per edge: produced-to frontier, final flag, parts +} + +// Producer face — called by the driver where results land (stage commit, IO +// completion, child-morsel retire); O(1); No when the producer was not a blocker. +fn advance(edge: EdgeId, range: RangeId, to: u64, is_final: bool) -> Fired; +enum Fired { No, Inline(Activation), Enqueued } + +// Fire path, on the last producer's thread at blockers == 0: +// m = min input frontiers (O(fan-out)); slice parts to [E, m) per edge map; +// node.combine(subrange, children) — the unchanged §9 call, once per subrange; +// E = m; CAS-install (epoch + 1, new argmin count); racing producers retry. +``` + +Exec nodes opt into nothing: `combine` still receives complete, pre-cut, aligned children, +and combine-once holds because fire points *split the range* — each common prefix is a +complete combine over a smaller range, the opportunistic arm of the rebatcher. The scheduler +gains no API either: `Enqueued` is an ordinary priced CPU task pushed to the local deque, +wrap-only combines below the floor run inline, and readiness is never a query — which is what +keeps entries-per-admission ≈ 1. The mask meet is the same counter with the core-owned AND +folded in the producer path. + +## 7. Memory (deferred, recorded) + +Per-morsel live-byte approximation is the admission input. Unresolved and consciously +deferred: attribution of scan-wide cells (first-needer, split, or shared pool), and the +memory-times-ordering deadlock — complete-but-unemittable morsels holding bytes the oldest +morsel needs; candidate rule: *the oldest unemitted morsel is always admissible*. A single +oversized morsel needs a degenerate path (shrink or go sequential), not just "no new morsels." + +## 8. Emission, limits, cancellation + +Emission is pull-driven: the consumer stopping stops morsel claiming; in-flight morsels finish +or park. Limit is a first-k demand producer at the sink writing into projection's OOB cells — +per-morsel for ordered prefix consumption, a shared survivor counter for unordered — and +transitively bounds filter work. It is the one legitimately cross-morsel demand. For the +ordered case each morsel's cell starts at first-k and shrinks as earlier morsels' survivor +counts seal — a superset of the true need by construction, so overshoot is charged as +speculation and the in-band pull enforces exactness at emit; no coordinator is involved. Errors seal +cells with an error value and ride the ordinary wake path. + +## 9. What a layout implements + +- **Declarations** (bind time): edges with `DomainMap`s, coverage tables, kernels into the + per-scan kernel table. +- **Planning contribution** (morsel plan time): cut demand against coverage, emit IO/CPU/ + deferred-planning tasks — derived generically from the declarations for most layouts; + overridden only where planning is semantic (Zoned pruning, Dict, List). +- **Combine**: assemble pre-cut, pre-aligned children (zip, wrap, intersect, take). O(parts) + if inline; a combine that touches rows must be priced. Arrival-time folding is not part of + this surface: pipeline instances hold their own accumulators for sequential stages, the one + order-free fold in the system is the core-owned mask meet (§4.1), and the remaining combines + are wrap-shaped, where early absorption frees nothing. The `absorb` refinement from the + [derivation](scan-execution-demand-and-operators.md) is shelved (§12). + +Explicitly not a layout's job: scheduling, demand, coordinates (driver slices by the recorded +cut, per edge map), buffering (stash), ordering, retention, pipeline construction (compiled +from the declarations, §4.1). Not expressible by design: +node-level mutable state outside the stash, order-dependent folds in the scan path. + +## 10. Correctness and testing + +- **Oracle**: the eager configuration (demand = top, no OOB plane, filters as all-true + selections, gathers at emit) is `run_eager` and the permanent differential reference. Hashes + compare *need-set rows*, never batches (batch boundaries legitimately vary with schedule). +- **Law suites**: `DomainMap` round-trip and composition-preserves-superset properties; + kernel totality flags (`can_trap`) audited — v1's `CAST(a, u8) WHERE a < 256` comment is the + live counterexample gating elective gathers and CPU speculation; OOB plane disabled and + maximally delayed must produce identical results. +- **Simulator**: deterministic scheduler tests — no deadlock under memory × ordering × limit × + cancellation, adversarial IO completion orders, steal-versus-wake races, blocker-counter + epoch races at fan-in (§4.1). +- **Performance gates**: Q01/Q06 (prefetch split), FineWeb `select *` (splits storm), selective + string predicates (cascade + wide-value elision), dict page skipping, cold-scan IO parity + (same bytes, comparable request count as V1 — the check on batch-scope coalescing), + contention counters (entries-per-admission ≈ 1, queue-idle ≈ 0). + +## 11. Migration + +V1 (`LayoutReader`) is the semantic oracle throughout; its `FlatReader` already implements the +model in miniature (positional mask demand, the density switch, `intersect_by_rank` as unmap +through the survivor crossing, explicit filter at projection). Graft onto `PlanVTable` with +`edges()`/`bind()` beside `execute`; migrate SegmentScan, Concat, Eval, Pack first, then Zoned, +then the gated pair (Take/Dict, ListPack); unported subtrees fall back to V1 mid-tree. Every V1 +layout (flat, chunked, struct, dict, list, zoned, row_idx, partitioned, table, compressed, +buffered, repartition, foreign, file_stats) needs its one-line story or the fallback. Degenerate +paths ship early: `select *` with no filter machinery, tiny single-morsel scans without +scheduler spin-up, repeated-scan fact reuse. + +## 12. Deferred decisions + +The memory model (§7); the `can_trap` audit mechanics; kernel-table payload representation; +pool scope (per-scan versus session); speculation floor; the ordered-emission window for +streaming consumers; whether any node-level trait remains once planning contributions and +combines are the whole layout surface; the shelved `absorb` fold, revived only by a measured +straggler-memory case in a layout combine, with buffer-then-combine as its blanket impl and +differential oracle. diff --git a/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/scan-execution-framework.md b/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/scan-execution-framework.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..6973f1f7779 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/scan-execution-framework.md @@ -0,0 +1,335 @@ +# Scan Execution Framework + +This document is the design for a production-shaped scan execution framework, synthesized from the +[self-paced experiment's](self-paced-plan-exec-experiment.md) measured evidence — the +[findings](self-paced-plan-exec-findings.md), the [reference](self-paced-executor-reference.md), +and the [handover](self-paced-plan-exec-handover.md) — and from the design discussion that +followed it.

Binding allocates identity — pre-sized slot arrays, one +single-writer token per slot, reader edges as indices — and never computes extents. The measured +line (*plan-time materialization of segment cutting regressed FineWeb ~0.34 -> 0.39*): O(units + +fragments) slot layout is binding's job; O(segments x units) concrete cuts belong to execution, +where sixteen threads do the arithmetic in parallel for ~free. + +Units are bound to **units, not threads**: binding produces a thread-free wiring diagram, and the +pool late-binds units to whichever thread pulls them (*measured: static thread assignment lost to +cursor self-scheduling on every uneven workload*). + +## The laws + +1. Shared data is immutable-after-publish; mutable data has exactly one owner. APIs make + violation unrepresentable: sealing consumes a writer token. +2. Demand is a monotone chain of `IS TRUE`-collapsed bounds. Empty is final. Sealed is immutable. + Kleene (three-valued) state never escapes a single kernel's expression subtree. +3. Planning does layout, never compute. +4. No per-operation task reification: pool items obey granularity floors; graphs are phase-level + (*measured: per-segment predicate tasks ran 2.3x slower than inline kernels*). +5. Wakes route directly (fact -> waiter -> pool); nothing rescans. +6. Work is deduplicated by its natural key: demand by (domain, fragment), physical facts by + `SegmentId`, counts by range. Sharing falls out of keying, never out of special cases. +7. Everything is reported with its input demand; admission is decided centrally from per-unit + frontier heads; central scheduler state is O(units), never O(tasks) (*measured: a central + candidate queue scanned 23.8 entries per admission; unit-resident candidates scanned 1.67*). +8. Every batch's memory footprint is exactly its span; executor retention is one thread's working + set. + +## The traits + +### `DomainMap`: one row-domain relationship, an open set + +The transform between a parent and child row universe is a trait, because new relationships will +exist. Its symbolic queries are answerable at plan time and drive binding, boundary derivation, +and coverage; its transforms run at execution (after the gate fact, for gated maps). + +```rust +trait DomainMap: Send + Sync { + // symbolic — answerable at PLAN time + fn is_static(&self) -> bool; // false => a gate fact must resolve me first + fn prefix_preserving(&self) -> bool; // can prefixes stream through this edge? + fn exact_for_fallible(&self) -> bool; // Coarsen-like maps may drive metadata work only + fn gate(&self) -> Option; // which fact resolves me + + // transforms — callable at EXECUTE time + fn map_range(&self, parent: Range) -> Range; + fn map_demand(&self, parent: &Bound) -> Bound; // down + fn unmap_mask(&self, child: &Bound) -> Bound; // up, pure renumbering only +} +``` + +`Identity`, `Shift`, `Fence`, `Coarsen`, `MonotoneGated`, and `GatherGated` are implementations, +not variants. The four symbolic queries are the admission test for a new relationship: a map that +cannot answer them cannot be scheduled soundly. + +Maps are immutable. A gated map never mutates when its fact arrives: `realize(fact)` constructs a +fresh immutable concrete map, owned by the realizing unit or shared through a resource cell. A +map that "needs" interior mutability is holding a fact that belongs in the fact layer. + +Ownership: `Edge { map: Box }` inside the plan tree; the tree root behind one +`Arc`; hot paths borrow `&dyn DomainMap`. Runtime-realized maps are `Arc` in +cells. Refcounts live at coarse grain only (*measured: per-task `Arc` sharing regressed ~3%*). + +### `Edge`: children plus their relationship + +An edge is `(child, map, role)` — the map belongs to the relationship, not to either node. One +node may have children under different maps (list: offsets under `Fence`, validity under +`Identity`, elements under `MonotoneGated`), and `Role` (field, validity, offsets, values) lets +binding and the drive loop treat them differently without node-specific traversal code. + +```rust +struct Edge { child: PlanNodeRef, map: Box, role: Role } +``` + +### `PlanNode`: declare, then bind + +```rust +trait PlanNode { + fn edges(&self) -> &[Edge]; // PLAN: symbolic shape + fn bind(&self, b: &mut Binder) -> NodeId; // BIND: allocate identity, recurse children +} +``` + +`bind` allocates ledger slots per (domain, fragment), mints writer tokens, places gate slots for +non-static edges, and records reader indices. It performs no data-shaped work. + +### `ExecNode`: pure hooks, no control flow + +The bound, executable counterpart of one plan node — one per node per scan, immutable, shared by +every unit. Edges own coordinates; the node owns **combining semantics**. + +```rust +trait ExecNode { + fn push(&self, span, demand: &Bound) -> Vec; // demand down, cut + priced + fn pull(&self, span, results: Children) -> NodeOut; // results up: combine + fn gate(&self, fact: &Fact) -> Vec; // gated expansion +} + +enum Obligation { + Read { segment: SegmentId, demanded: usize }, // a task iff demanded > 0 + Kernel { op, floor }, // inline unless floor-exceeded and stolen + Child { node: NodeId, span, demand: Bound }, // recurse + Needs { gate: GateId }, // park until the gate's fact seals +} +``` + +Hooks never await, never touch the pool or ledger, never hold a bound — they are pure functions +testable with plain values. Mutable execution state (bounds, cursors, parked obligations) lives +in the unit, which is what keeps `ExecNode` lock-free and shareable. + +Most nodes need no hand-written `ExecNode`: a generic implementation covers any node whose +combine is "assemble children by coverage order" (chunked is the generic node over `Shift` +edges). Custom nodes exist where combining is semantic: struct's zip, list's Kleene any-per-run +reduce, dict's `take(values, codes)`. Extension is therefore two-tier — new coordinate +relationship: implement `DomainMap`; new combining semantics: implement `ExecNode`; new leaf +encoding: just a kernel. + +### Domains and the demand ledger + +One `Domain` per row universe — not per edge, not per node — allocated at bind: + +```rust +struct Domain { + id: DomainId, + extent: Extent, // Static(rows) | Gated(gate_slot) + fragments: Box<[FragmentSlot]>, // this domain's slice of the ledger + derives: Option<(DomainId, MapRef)>, +} + +struct FragmentSlot { + state: AtomicU8, // Open | Sealed | SealedEmpty + bound: Bound, // current best mask + count, version-stamped + version: AtomicU32, // bumps on open refinement + waiter: AtomicPtr, // woken ONLY on seal / sealed-empty +} +``` + +Most plan "domains" never materialize: + +| Kind | Example | Representation | +| --- | --- | --- | +| Root | scan rows | real `Domain`; the filter spine writes its bounds | +| Identity-shared | struct fields, list validity | the **same** `DomainId` — no object | +| Static-renumbered | chunk-local coordinates | none — `map_range` at the point of use | +| Gated-derived | list elements, dict values | real `Domain`, extent realized when the gate seals | + +Update discipline — **pull refinements, push seals**: open-bound refinements update the slot in +place (single writer, version bump) and notify nobody; consumers read the current bound when they +price work, and any version they read is a valid superset forever. Derived-domain demand is +computed lazily at first need, memoized by (fragment, parent version); the default rule derives +gated domains only from sealed parent fragments, making derived demand final at birth. Only two +events push: `Sealed` (unlocks projection and sub-domains) and `SealedEmpty` (cancels dependent +obligations before they become tasks) — each one release-store plus a waiter drain. + +Contention: writes are partitioned by construction (single writer per slot; fork-join kernels +write disjoint word-aligned sub-ranges), publication is one atomic per seal (~thousands per scan, +distributed), reads after seal are lock-free on frozen `Arc` buffers, and parking is one CAS. The +metrics layer counts CAS retries and parks from day one. + +### Resource cells + +Scan-wide once-cells keyed by physical identity: `SegmentId -> decoded array` and +`(SegmentId, conjunct) -> evaluated mask`, with the experiment's proven pinned / reusable / dead +refcount lifetime.

Under the decoupled composition, SEAL publishes span items to the +pool instead of looping into projection locally — one `Placement` change, same machine. + +## Demand semantics + +Demand is definitionally two-valued (read-or-don't). SQL's three-valued logic is confined to the +expression layer by the collapse rule — `IS TRUE` distributes through AND and OR but not NOT: + +```text +(a AND b) IS TRUE <=> (a IS TRUE) AND (b IS TRUE) per-conjunct collapse is lawful +(a OR b) IS TRUE <=> (a IS TRUE) OR (b IS TRUE) per-disjunct too +(NOT a) IS TRUE <=> a IS FALSE stay Kleene beneath a NOT +``` + +The filter compiler normalizes NOT to the leaves (a negated comparison stays collapsible: nulls +still drop), coalesces same-field predicates, and emits an AND-spine of leaf conjuncts. Final +demand exists at the spine's end, but the working currency is the monotone chain of upper bounds +produced at every step — each one valid to price, skip, and speculate against. Empty bounds and +pruning (zone stats: min, max, null_count) finalize early. Disjunctions yield bounds only from +statistics or completion of all branches. Kernels over nullable columns compute +`cmp(values) AND validity`; validity otherwise rides inside arrays as payload — positions are +never null, values are. + +Order freedom is safe by the superset rule: a result evaluated against any earlier bound of the +same fragment is a superset of every later bound and adopts by intersection. Reordering and +concurrency are pure execution choices; the output hash is invariant. + +## Scheduling: report everything, admit centrally, keep the queue full + +Every obligation is reported with its input demand and expected-value facts: + +```rust +struct Reported { + bound_version: u32, demanded: usize, + bytes: usize, phase: Phase, + remaining_selectivity: f32, // expected further shrink, from observed stats + necessity: Required | Candidate, +} +``` + +Reported items rest in their unit's frontier (law 7); the scheduler sees one **frontier-head +register per unit**.

Issued candidates keep their identity on promotion; dormant +candidates evaporate at seal-empty having cost nothing.

Writer tokens minted at bind turn + this from a state you check into a capability you hold; sealing consumes the token. +4. **Scheduling position of work.** Task states, `Required | Candidate`, and `Placement` model + where work sits relative to the scheduler: described, dormant, admitted, running, done. + `Placement` is a routing decision — an event, not a state. +5. **Progress of a sequential control locus.** Pipeline phases, drive-loop stages, and + `Budgeted | Quiescent | Retired` are all a program counter; the last is the scheduler-visible + summary of one (runnable, blocked, finished). + +Retention (`pinned | reusable | dead`) is not a machine: it is derived from holders plus "does any +unretired unit's coverage overlap this." + +### The unified primitives + +Three primitives; everything else is derived. + +**Primitive 1 — the fact cell.** One single-writer monotone cell, one park/wake mechanism, three +keyed tables: + +```rust +Cell { + state: Open(version) | Final, // release-store on seal + value: V, // shrinks (bound) or fills (array, mask, map) + writer: Token, // minted at bind, consumed by seal + waiters: AtomicPtr, // CAS park; drained only on Final +} +// keyed by (domain, fragment) V = Bound — the demand ledger +// keyed by SegmentId / (seg, conj) V = Array | Mask — resource cells +// keyed by GateId V = realized map — gate facts +``` + +Demand is the general case (meaningful intermediate refinements: in-place update, version bump, +nobody woken). Physical facts and gates are the degenerate case whose only refinement is the +seal. `SealedEmpty` is not a third state: it is `Final && value.is_empty()`; cancellation is the +consumer's reaction to reading that. `Failed` also disappears: an error seals the cell with an +error value, so propagation rides the existing wake path. + +**Primitive 2 — work, with a position.** An obligation plus a position in one lifecycle: +`Frontier -> (Registered) -> Admitted -> Running -> done`, where done means "my output cell +sealed" — work has no completion state of its own. The fast path (`Frontier -> run inline -> +seal`) touches no shared state; position is materialized only for the pool-visible minority. +`Required | Candidate` is an attribute of `Registered` work. + +**Primitive 3 — the driver.** `UnitState` is a private program counter plus scratch (bounds, +parked obligations, span countdowns), with three scheduler-visible summaries: runnable, parked, +retired. Fact state lives with facts, work state with the scheduler's frontier registers, control +state privately in the unit — the reactor conflated the first two and the coordinator conflated +the last two, and both were the measured failure modes. + +| Old machine | Was modeling | Becomes | +| --- | --- | --- | +| FragmentSlot `Open/Sealed/SealedEmpty` | demand knowledge | Cell; `SealedEmpty` derived | +| Resource `Absent..ArrayReady` | knowledge x in-flight work | two chained Cells + work positions | +| Result slot `Empty..Ready/Failed` | ownership x fulfillment x scheduling | token + Cell + position | +| Task offered/claimed/completed | scheduling position | work position (slow path only) | +| `Placement` | routing decision | a transition function, not a state | +| Morsel `Budgeted/Quiescent/Retired` | driver runnability | driver summary | +| Pipeline phases / drive stages | program counter | private PC | +| `pinned/reusable/dead` | retention | derived from refcounts + unit retirement | +| `Required/Candidate` | admission class | attribute on Registered work | + +## 2. The graph + +**Nodes are work, typed by resource class:** + +- **IO(segment)** — produces a bytes fact. Latency-bound; admission is per-source queue depth. +- **CPU(kernel)** — decode, predicate eval, intersect, assemble. Compute-bound; admission is + floors and the pool. +- **Plan(expander)** — produces *graph*: when run, it splices new IO/CPU/Plan nodes between its + neighbors. Near-free, and constitutionally forbidden from compute: a Plan node consumes only + metadata and already-produced facts (law 3 made structural). + +**Edges are cells, typed by lattice:** + +- **data edge** (flows up, producer to consumer): a fact cell — Empty then Final. +- **demand edge** (flows down, consumer to producer): a bound cell — Open, refining + monotonically, then Final. Every node prices itself against its incoming demand. + +Edges carry a `DomainMap` wherever they cross a row-universe boundary: the map is the edge label, +not a node. + +### The laziness rules + +The demand edge into a Plan node has three observable states, and they are the whole policy: + +| Demand edge state | Meaning for the Plan node | +| --- | --- | +| Final, empty | Never runs. The subtree it would splice **never exists** — nothing to cancel. | +| Final, nonempty | Required work: expand now; produced IO/CPU nodes bypass EV. | +| Open | Expand **only under speculation**; everything produced is a Candidate, priced by EV. | + +"Not enough IO in flight" is the trigger for the third row: below the per-source queue-depth +watermark, the scheduler runs frontier Plan nodes on their open (superset) bounds. The superset +rule keeps it sound: a read issued against an earlier bound adopts by intersection. Cascade, +eager, and adaptive stop being demand policies and become **planning-admission policies** — the +same graph at different points on the watermark curve. + +Gated expansion also lands naturally: a Plan node that needs a decoded fact (list offsets, dict +codes) has a **data edge** into the fact's producing CPU node. `Needs(gate)` means "a Plan node +whose data input is not yet Final." The decode itself stays a CPU node: planning consumes facts +but never computes them. + +### Virtual, not reified + +This graph existed once, fully materialized, with a coordinator walking it — the reactor, 2.3x +slower. The graph is the **specification**; the machine traverses it mostly without materializing +it. Two rules recover the pipeline's speed: + +- **Edge materialization rule:** an edge becomes a real cell iff it is shared (fan-out > 1) or + crosses a park/pool boundary. Otherwise it is a value on the stack of an inline traversal. + Fan-out is knowable at bind, so the fast path is branch-predictable. +- **Node fusion rule:** maximal chains of CPU nodes connected by private edges execute as one + kernel invocation; the granularity floor governs the fused chain, never individual nodes. + +Under these rules the compositions become traversal strategies over one graph: the pipeline is +depth-first inline with almost no materialized edges; decoupled materializes sealed-demand edges +and pools spans; fork-join materializes sub-range kernel edges; the reactor is the +"materialize everything" corner, retained as the observable, contract-checking configuration. + +Two things stay outside the graph deliberately. **Ordering:** the graph is unordered; emission +order comes from units owning contiguous root-coverage spans. **Retention:** derived, as above. + +## 3. Domain changes: edge, node, or neither + +A domain change decomposes into three things, and dedup comes from keyed cells, never from nodes +(two consumers spawning two nodes *is* duplication; law 6 keys the work's output instead): + +| Crossing | Work | Node? | Dedup point | +| --- | --- | --- | --- | +| Identity (struct fields) | none | no — same `DomainId` | n/a | +| Static arithmetic (Shift, Coarsen) | O(1)–O(log) | no — inline at use | none needed | +| Gated realize (offsets, gather set) | real CPU (+IO) | **yes** | concrete-map cell, keyed by gate | +| Derived demand in child domain | O(demanded) | first-needer computes | child ledger slot, (fragment, parent version) | + +The realize node's output is a concrete-map fact cell keyed by gate identity; every edge crossing +that boundary data-depends on the same cell. Derived demand dedups through the child domain's +fragment slots — which is why Domain is per row universe, not per edge. Cheap static crossings +stay inline: deduping O(log) arithmetic through a shared cell costs more than recomputing it. + +Decision recorded: gated child-domain ledgers are allocated when the gate seals (the extent is +unknown before then); allocation is cheap enough that laziness beyond that point buys nothing. + +## 4. Responsibilities: the eager model first + +Reasoning aid: set every demand edge to the constant top (all rows), Final at birth. The graph +becomes a pure data-dependency DAG and each responsibility is crisp. Laziness returns afterwards +as three refinements that change *when*, never *what*. + +| Component | Creates | Cardinality | When | +| --- | --- | --- | --- | +| Lowering + optimizer | plan-tree nodes, edges with maps | O(layout shape) | once per query | +| Binder | domains + fragment slots, cells for shared edges, writer tokens, unit boundaries, one exec node per plan node | O(plan + units + fragments) | once per scan | +| Expanders (`expand`/`gate`) | the work nodes: IO, CPU, and their edges | O(segments x fragments) | eager: a pass after bind, staged only by gates | +| Realize nodes | concrete maps; child domains | O(gates) | when the gate's data input seals | + +The driver runs nodes and seals cells; the scheduler admits runnable nodes; neither creates +structure. Exec nodes are **not** the numerous thing — one per plan node per scan, immutable, +shared by every unit. The numerous things are work nodes, created exclusively by expanders, and +under laziness most never exist. + +Two observations the eager form surfaces: + +- **Plan nodes are nodes even with zero laziness**: a gated expander cannot run before its fact + exists — a data dependency, not a laziness artifact. +- **The eager graph is exactly `run_eager`**: every conjunct over every row, intersect, project + all, select at emit. The eager path is the differential oracle, and should be the first thing + the new code path can execute. + +The three refinements, each a legal transformation because expanders are **pure functions of +(fragment, bound, facts)** — deferring a pure function changes when it runs, never what it +produces: + +1. **Demand laziness** — real bounds replace top; Final-empty deletes subtrees pre-birth. +2. **Expansion laziness** — expanders run at first nonzero demand or under speculation, moving + O(segments x fragments) cutting from a serial bind onto parallel execution threads (the + measured plan-time-materialization regression, in reverse). +3. **Materialization laziness** — private edges become stack values; private chains fuse. + +Any lazy configuration must hash-match the eager oracle on every workload: a property test over +the transformation, not over any node. + +## 5. Worked example: `Struct(Chunked(Flat))`, two filters + +Fields `a`, `b`, `c` with unaligned chunks; query `WHERE a > 5 AND b < 3, SELECT a, c` +(projecting `a` so filter/projection sharing appears). One root domain R; one unit, fragment +F = [0,100). + +```text +chunks: a = {[0,40), [40,100)} b = {[0,60), [60,100)} c = {[0,40), [40,70), [70,100)} +demand flows down the spine; data flows up; * marks a materialized (shared) cell + + bound0 = top (F's slot in R's ledger, open) + | + Plan(a > 5) cuts F against a's chunk table + | IO(a0) -> CPU(decode a0)* -> CPU(eval a>5 [0,40)) \ + | IO(a1) -> CPU(decode a1)* -> CPU(eval a>5 [40,100)) -+-> CPU(unmap+combine) -> bound1 + | + Plan(b < 3) demanded by bound1 (cascade) or top (eager) + | IO(b0) -> CPU(decode b0) -> CPU(eval b<3 [0,60)) \ private chains - + | IO(b1) -> CPU(decode b1) -> CPU(eval b<3 [60,100)) -+-> CPU(unmap+combine) -> bound2 = SEAL + | + Plan(project {a, c}) span cuts = union of projected boundaries: [0,40) [40,70) [70,100) + | a: data edges into decode(a0)*, decode(a1)* — no new IO + | IO(c0..c2) -> CPU(decode) -> per span: CPU(gather a) + CPU(gather c) -> CPU(pack) -> emit +``` + +What the graph says each concept *is*: + +- **Struct is almost nothing**: identity edges create no nodes; struct contributes the span rule + (boundary union of projected fields) and the pack combine. +- **Chunked disappears at runtime**: cutting arithmetic inside expanders plus Shift maps on + edges. There is no Concat node executing anything — plan-tree nodes and graph nodes stop being + one-to-one. (A conscious divergence from plan v2, where `Concat` executes.) +- **Flat is the only thing that touches the world**: the IO -> decode chains. +- **The filter is the demand spine**: eval kernels feeding combine nodes; `bound0 -> bound1 -> + bound2` is one cell refined twice and sealed. The combine nodes are the only writers. +- **Projection is gathers under a sealed bound**. + +Shared state for this whole scan-fragment: one fragment slot plus two decode cells. Everything +else is fused private chains — the graph-theoretic restatement of why the pipeline beat the +reactor. + +Expansion is frontier-driven along three axes, and "expand all children" is the degenerate +setting of all three: **rows** (a cut is `partition_point` plus a walk of overlaps in the span — +non-overlapping chunks are arithmetic that never ran, not objects), **depth** (one level per +expand call; the driver recurses, with a leaf shortcut emitting Read+decode directly), **time** +(the three-state demand-edge rule). The one true early-expansion is speculation, and it is a +scheduler decision with a price — nodes cannot express eagerness. + +## 6. The `ExecNode` trait + +There are exactly three places in the graph where per-node-kind semantics appear; everything else +is generic driver work or a kernel. `Plan(..)` boxes are `expand` calls; realize nodes are `gate` +calls; the unmap/combine/pack CPU nodes are `combine` calls; eval/decode/gather are kernels +referenced by obligations; IO nodes are driver-issued. + +```rust +trait ExecNode: Send + Sync { + /// EXPAND — demand down. Cut `span` against my children, price each overlap, emit + /// obligations. Pure: reads only immutable plan data and the given bound. + fn expand(&self, span: SpanRef, demand: &Bound, out: &mut dyn ObligationSink); + + /// GATE — a non-static edge's fact sealed: realize the concrete map, then expand the + /// gated edge (derived demand is sealed at birth).

The +sink-shaped `expand` avoids a per-call allocation and lets the driver route obligations as +produced. Kernels are indices into a per-scan kernel table, keeping obligations flat and priceable. + +| Exec node | `expand` | `gate` | `combine` | +| --- | --- | --- | --- | +| Generic coverage (Chunked, any static-map parent) | cut span against coverage table; price; emit Read/Kernel/Child per overlap | — | assemble by coverage order | +| Conjunct (Eval) | delegate cut to field edge, attach predicate kernel to leaf chains | — | unmap + AND of child masks -> `Bound` | +| Struct (Pack) | replicate demand handle to each field edge | — | zip into `StructArray` | +| Zoned (pruning) | metadata reads over the Coarsen edge (`exact_for_fallible`) | — | stats -> pruning `Bound` | +| Flat (leaf) | none standalone-trivial; chunked parent emits its Read+decode directly | — | pass-through | +| Dict | codes static; emit distinct-kernel + `Needs(values gate)` | gather set = sealed demand over values domain; expand values edge | `take(values, remapped codes)` | +| List | offsets static; `Needs(elements gate)` | realized offsets map; expand elements with run-expanded demand | run-collapse; Kleene any-per-run | + +Most rows are not hand-written: generic-coverage is one implementation parameterized by a +coverage table and edge maps; Flat is zero implementations; the hand-written surface is exactly +where combining is semantic (intersect, zip, take, reduce). Filtering on a dict field needs no +new machinery: the planner evaluates the predicate over the (small) values domain and swaps the +row-side kernel for code-set membership — a different `KernelId` in an ordinary conjunct. + +Dict nuance recorded: dict's values-domain **extent** is static (dictionary length is layout +metadata; the binder allocates the domain up front); only the *demand* over it is gated. List is +the stronger case where the extent itself waits on the fact. + +Sketched impls from the discussion (design-shaped, not compiling code): + +```rust +impl ExecNode for FlatExec { + fn expand(&self, span: SpanRef, demand: &Bound, out: &mut dyn ObligationSink) { + if demand.demanded == 0 { return; } + out.emit(Obligation::Read { segment: self.segment, demanded: demand.demanded, + bytes: self.estimated_bytes }); + out.emit(Obligation::Kernel { kernel: self.decode, + input: InputRef::Segment(self.segment), + span, floor: DECODE_FLOOR }); + } + fn combine(&self, _span: SpanRef, children: ChildResults) -> VortexResult { + Ok(NodeOut::Array(children.sole_array()?)) + } +} + +impl ExecNode for StructExec { + fn expand(&self, span: SpanRef, demand: &Bound, out: &mut dyn ObligationSink) { + for edge in self.fields.iter() { + // Identity means SHARE: same domain, same bound handle, zero transform. + out.emit(Obligation::Child { node: edge.child, span, demand: demand.share() }); + } + } + fn combine(&self, span: SpanRef, children: ChildResults) -> VortexResult { + let arrays = children.arrays_in_edge_order()?; + Ok(NodeOut::Array(StructArray::try_new(self.names.clone(), arrays, + span.selected(), Validity::NonNullable)?.into_array())) + } +} + +impl ExecNode for DictExec { + fn expand(&self, span: SpanRef, demand: &Bound, out: &mut dyn ObligationSink) { + if demand.demanded == 0 { return; } + out.emit(Obligation::Child { node: self.codes.child, span, demand: demand.share() }); + // The driver wires this kernel's output to `self.gate`; its completion IS the seal. + out.emit(Obligation::Kernel { kernel: self.distinct, + input: InputRef::Node(self.codes.child), span, floor: 0 }); + out.emit(Obligation::Needs { gate: self.gate }); + } + fn gate(&self, _gate: GateId, fact: &Fact, out: &mut dyn ObligationSink) { + // The gather set is a demand over the values domain, sealed at birth. + out.emit(Obligation::Child { node: self.values.child, + span: SpanRef::whole(self.values_domain), + demand: fact.as_gather_bound() }); + } + fn combine(&self, _span: SpanRef, children: ChildResults) -> VortexResult { + let codes = children.array(EDGE_CODES)?; + let values = children.array(EDGE_VALUES)?; // only the demanded pages, dense + let gather = children.fact(self.gate)?; // realized map, for renumbering + Ok(NodeOut::Array(take_kernel(values, gather.remap_codes(codes)?)?)) + } +} +``` + +Value-page skipping in dict needs no code: the values subtree is a generic coverage node and the +gather bound prices its pages exactly like row demand prices chunks. The scan-wide dictionary +cache is the resource-cell layer keyed by `SegmentId`; the node stays ignorant of it. + +## 7. Combine-once semantics + +`combine` runs **exactly once per (node, span), with every input Final**. There is no update path +into combine, by construction: data cells are write-once; the only mutable thing (an open bound) +is an input to expansion and pricing, never to combine. + +Mechanics: when `expand` emits a span's obligations, the unit's scratch records how many inputs +the span awaits. Each adoption decrements — O(1), a direct wake, nothing rescanned. The last +arrival triggers `combine` inline on the adopting thread. + +Where the "updates" went: + +- **Bound refinement is a slot meet, not a recombination.** Refinement adopted from this + discussion: a conjunct's `combine` produces only the unmapped AND of its child masks; the meet + with the current slot value happens at publish, in the driver. "Combine's inputs are immutable" + becomes a theorem; stale (superset) evaluation is corrected by the same meet with no version + bookkeeping in the hook. +- **Refinements notify nobody** (pull discipline); only `Sealed`/`SealedEmpty` push wakes. +- **Incrementality comes from granularity**: earlier output means smaller spans — many small + complete combines, never repeated partial ones. Buffered inputs per span are one span's working + set (law 8). + +This is deliberately not a general incremental-dataflow engine: no memoization, no invalidation, +no delta-consuming combines, and therefore no glitch problem. The excluded shape is the +order-dependent sequential fold — see section 9. + +## 8. Alignment and slicing + +**The driver slices; `combine`'s contract is aligned children.** Alignment is a coordinate +concern, and edges own coordinates; nodes own combining semantics. The cut `expand` produced — +`(child_local, parent_local, demanded)` per overlap — is data in the span scratch; at +countdown-zero the driver builds `ChildResults` on the stack, slicing each adopted value to its +overlap (zero-copy; pass-through untouched when coverage equals the span). Counts flow from +pricing; nothing is recounted. Slicing is **per-edge, directed by the edge's map**: Identity and +Shift edges are sliced to span; a GatherGated edge's value arrives whole with its fact (dict +values are in dictionary coordinates — slicing them by span would be wrong). + +Buffering has exactly two homes: **shared cells** (fan-out > 1; keyed, refcounted, released when +consumers drain) and **unit span scratch** (private countdowns). An ExecNode cannot buffer: it is +immutable and shared by every unit — node-level buffering is unrepresentable by design. + +"Aligned" does not mean "single": chunked's combine still receives several parts (ordering and +wrapping them is its semantics), but each part is already in span coordinates with a known count. + +## 9. Alternative considered: stateful push-and-zip nodes + +Proposal examined: n children push arrays into a node that receives them statefully and zips +internally — a fold, strictly more general than `combine` (which is the fold that buffers +everything and runs once). Rejected for `ExecNode`, with the useful half recovered graph-natively: + +- **State is per-span regardless of owner.** The node instance is shared by every unit, so + "stateful node" means per-(node, span) accumulator state — which is what the driver's span + scratch already is. The proposal only changes who defines the accumulator, at the cost of + per-author coordinate and ordering bugs. +- **Out-of-order arrival collapses absorb into the buffer.** An absorb accepting part 3 before + part 1 stores it (re-implementing the scratch); refusing it reintroduces prefix stalls + (learning 10). +- **For assembly, absorbing early frees nothing.** List assembly is zero-copy wrapping; retained + memory is identical either way. The one genuine win — compaction under selective demand — is + expressible without statefulness: arrival-time processing is *more nodes*. A per-part + compaction kernel (`decode -> gather demanded rows -> small part -> combine`) is the fold's + absorb step reified as a pure node: priced, floor-governed, order-free. +- **List's other temptations dissolve the same way.** Kleene any-per-run early exit is a demand + refinement (the run's bound seals on the first true, cancelling remaining element reads before + they exist). Dynamic arity is fine: the countdown is set post-gate. + +What is genuinely excluded, consciously: the order-dependent sequential fold. It serializes the +span, breaks eager-oracle equivalence (result depends on arrival schedule), and breaks the +legality of laziness (deferral would change *what*, not *when*). Scan-level pushdown aggregates, +if ever wanted, arrive as a separate explicitly-fold-shaped hook, never through `ExecNode`. + +## 10. Decisions recorded from this discussion + +1. Nodes are work (CPU | IO | Plan); edges are cells (demand | data); maps label edges. +2. One cell primitive, three keyed tables; `SealedEmpty` and `Failed` are derived, not states. +3. The graph is virtual: edges materialize iff shared or crossing a park/pool boundary; private + CPU chains fuse. The reactor corner is the debug configuration. +4. Plan-node laziness is the three-state demand-edge rule; speculation is the scheduler running + frontier Plan nodes on open bounds below the IO watermark; nodes cannot express eagerness. +5. Domain relationships are edge labels; gated realization is a node with a gate-keyed fact cell; + derived demand dedups through the child domain's ledger; static crossings stay inline. +6. Gated child-domain ledgers allocate at gate seal; no laziness beyond that (allocation is + cheap and sized). +7. Eager-first responsibilities: lowering -> binder -> expanders -> realize; exec nodes are + O(plan) and shared; work nodes are O(segments x fragments) and created only by expanders. The + eager configuration is `run_eager` and serves as the permanent differential oracle. +8. Expander purity is what makes every laziness a legal transformation. +9. `ExecNode` is three methods (`expand`, `gate`, `combine`) plus a kernel table; sink-shaped + expand; kernels by table index; `combine` returns values and the driver publishes. +10. Chunked compiles away: plan-tree nodes and graph nodes are not one-to-one. +11. Combine runs once per (node, span) on Final inputs; countdown in span scratch; conjunct + intersection happens as a slot meet at publish, not in the hook. +12. The driver slices to alignment from the cut-as-data, directed per-edge by the map; + buffering lives only in shared cells and span scratch. +13. `ChildResults` passes all children at once, and carries facts as well as arrays (the dict + remap wart, accepted for uniformity over per-edge-kind adoption in the driver). +14. Sequential folds are excluded from `ExecNode`; arrival-time work is per-part pure kernels. + +## 11. Open questions + +The [next-discussion document](scan-execution-graph-next-discussion.md) expands the largest of +these into problem statements with context, so a future session can start there the way this one +started from the framework document. Carried forward, roughly in the order they should be +settled: + +1. **Pool scope.** Session-wide pool shared by all scans (small DataFusion-opener scans become + single unit items; big scans share threads) versus per-scan pools for isolation? +2. **Build order.** Start at the doc's build order (ledger first), or at the pain point — unit + formation plus the `select *` composition (splits.rs today only subdivides, never merges; + fragment = natural split, unit = byte-budgeted coalescing) — or stand up the eager path + end-to-end first as section 4 suggests? +3. **The closed `Obligation` enum.** Commit that new work classes are framework changes? (The + admission test: can a node express its work as Read/Kernel/Child/Needs?) +4. **Observability vs virtuality.** How much of the graph does the debug/reactor configuration + reify, and is that configuration always available (compile-time or runtime switch)? +5. **Are Plan nodes schedulable at all**, or always executed inline by whoever holds the + frontier? (Lean: inline always — O(metadata), and pooling them reintroduces coordinator-shaped + latency.) +6. **Speculation floor.** A minimum-density threshold for speculatively planning against an open + bound (the planning-side analogue of the kernel regime switch)? +7. **`ChildResults` shape.** Finalize: slice of pre-adopted outputs in edge order with priced + counts, plus facts; no lazy pulling inside `combine`. +8. **Kernel table representation.** Per-scan table built by the binder; what exactly is a + `KernelId`'s payload (fn pointer + flat args?) so pricing data stays flat? +9. **Composition selection per scan.** Which plan properties choose the Route configuration + (filter present, expected selectivity, projected byte width), and where does that decision + live? +10. **Conformance harnesses.** Property suites for `DomainMap` (round-trip superset laws, + prefix-preservation implies monotone `map_range`) and differential per-node harness for + `ExecNode` against the eager driver — ship with the traits from day one? +11. **Grafting onto `PlanVTable`.** Add `edges()`/`bind()` alongside the current `execute` with + unimplemented defaults so nodes migrate one at a time, keeping v2's future path as the oracle + during the build? +12. **Emission and limits.** Where limit demand enters the graph (a first-k bound at the sink?) + and how span-ordered emission interacts with cross-unit ordering restoration. +13. **Aggregate pushdown hook.** If scan-level count/min/max from stats is ever wanted, define + the separate fold-shaped hook rather than widening `ExecNode`. diff --git a/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/scan-execution-graph-next-discussion.md b/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/scan-execution-graph-next-discussion.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..d5e132fe992 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/scan-execution-graph-next-discussion.md @@ -0,0 +1,150 @@ +# Scan Execution Graph: Next Discussion + +This document is the starting point for the next design conversation, the way the +[framework](scan-execution-framework.md) and experiment documents seeded the discussion recorded +in the [graph model](scan-execution-graph-model.md).

Proposed shape: fragment = natural split (keeps prefix progress and cache +release layout-aligned); unit = byte/work-budgeted coalescing of consecutive fragments. For +`select *`: symbolic all-true demand (never materialized), no filter stage, spans seal at expand +and go straight to the pool — one unit could own a whole file and still saturate the cores. +Evidence: merge-16 morsels (learning 5–7, "a fixed split-count rollup is only a starting point"); +select-all needs a reduced-machinery mode (learning 39). + +**Next conversation should produce.** The unit-formation algorithm (byte target, work estimate +inputs, behavior when `estimated_bytes` is absent) and the per-scan composition-selection rule: +which plan properties (filter presence, expected selectivity, projected byte width) choose +between inline-cascade, span-pool decoupled, and fork-join, and where that decision lives. + +## Problem 2: the drive loop's concrete shape + +**The problem.** The graph model defines the driver abstractly (private PC, span countdowns, +three scheduler-visible summaries) but not its concrete data structures: the span scratch layout, +the countdown representation, how parked obligations are stored, and how a wake re-enters ADOPT +without rescanning. + +**What was concluded.** Obligations are not tasks; only `Placement::Pool` mints pool items; wakes +re-enqueue the unit item directly (fact -> waiter -> pool). `combine` fires at countdown-zero on +the adopting thread. The unit's retained memory is one span working set (law 8). + +**Next conversation should produce.** The `UnitState` struct sketch: frontier storage (per-unit +frontier-head register for the scheduler, law 7), span scratch entries (recorded cuts, adopted +values, countdown), the parked-obligation representation, and the wake path from a cell's waiter +drain to re-entering the drive loop mid-span. Also: what `ThreadCtx` holds (decode scratch, +per-thread caches) versus what moved into cells. + +## Problem 3: binder mechanics and grafting onto `PlanVTable` + +**The problem.** The binder creates domains, slots, shared-edge cells, tokens, unit boundaries, +and exec nodes — but the current plan layer (`vortex-layout/src/plan/vtable.rs`) exposes only +`execute` returning futures. How do the new hooks graft on so nodes migrate one at a time? + +**What was concluded.** Add `edges()`/`bind()` alongside `execute` with unimplemented defaults; +keep the v2 future path alive as the oracle during the build (open question 11). Fan-out is +knowable at bind (which nodes touch which segments), so cell materialization is decided before +execution. Exec nodes are one per plan node per scan, immutable, shared. + +**Next conversation should produce.** The `Binder` API sketch and the exec-node registry +(plan-node id to exec-node constructor), the bind output object (`ledger layout, writer tokens, +unit descriptions, gate placeholders` from the framework's bind contract, now concretized), and +the migration order for existing plans (SegmentScan, Concat, Eval, Pack first; Zoned; then Take +and ListPack as the gated pair). + +## Problem 4: the scheduler's admission machinery + +**The problem.** EV admission, the IO watermark, granularity floors, and Required-vs-Candidate +are defined as policy; the machinery (frontier-head registers, reserved Required share, promotion +on issue, the O(units) invariant) is not designed in detail. + +**What was concluded.** Reported items rest in their unit's frontier; the scheduler sees one head +per unit; candidates evaporate at seal-empty having cost nothing; the two success counters are +entries-considered-per-admission (~1) and queue-idle time (~0). Speculation is the scheduler +running frontier Plan nodes on open bounds below the watermark — a possible speculation floor +(minimum bound density) is open question 6. + +**Next conversation should produce.** The admission loop's data structures, how +`remaining_selectivity` is estimated and updated (the AdaptiveDemand survival-rate atomics are +the precedent), the reserved-share arithmetic for Required work, and whether the speculation +floor exists and at what threshold. + +## Problem 5: emission, ordering, and limits + +**The problem.** The graph is unordered; ordering lives in units owning contiguous coverage. But +cross-unit ordering restoration, the root rebatcher, limit pushdown, and cancellation were only +touched in passing (open question 12). + +**What was concluded.** Spans emit in order within a unit; the experiment restored cross-morsel +order by index-sort at the end, which is fine for batch collection but not for a streaming +consumer with bounded memory. Limits are naturally a demand: a first-k bound at the sink that +refines as spans seal — but k flows *across* units, which is the one place demand is not +per-fragment-independent. + +**Next conversation should produce.** The ordered-emission contract for streaming consumers +(credit-based? window of outstanding units?), how a global limit refines per-unit bounds without +a coordinator, and the cancellation story (consumer drops the stream: which cells seal-empty, +in what order, and what happens to in-flight IO). + +## Problem 6: the memory story under real IO + +**The problem.** The experiment ran in-memory; object-store latency changes the crossovers +(learning 54's caveat, the Q06/Q01 prefetch split). Speculative reads, per-unit read-ahead, and +shared cells retained across units all hold memory that law 8 does not yet bound globally. + +**What was concluded.** Byte credits appeared in the layout27-derived designs and in the +framework's emitter credits (build-order step 4) but were not integrated into the graph model's +cell layer. Candidate reads have an EV byte charge; nothing yet caps total speculative bytes or +defines eviction for reusable cells under pressure. + +**Next conversation should produce.** The budget model: per-scan or per-session byte accounting, +where credits are checked (admission only, or also cell insertion), and what "reusable" cells do +under pressure (drop and re-read is always safe — the bounded-duplicate principle from the +per-thread cache applies). + +## Problem 7: conformance and the oracle stack as deliverables + +**The problem.** The extension story rests on implementors running law suites instead of +internalizing eight laws (open question 10), but the suites do not exist as designs. + +**What was concluded.** For `DomainMap`: property tests (map_demand/unmap_mask superset +round-trip; prefix-preserving implies monotone `map_range`; gated maps refuse transforms before +realization). For `ExecNode`: differential execution against the eager driver with the +ordered-output-hash gate; plus the transformation-level property that every lazy configuration +hash-matches the eager oracle per workload. The oracle stack (eager reference, ordered-hash +gates, cold-scan IO invariant, external engine oracle, contention counters) is non-negotiable +from day one. + +**Next conversation should produce.** The concrete test-harness crate layout, the property list +per trait written as test names, and which invariants become debug assertions in the driver +(single-writer, superset-adoption, span-alignment) versus properties only the harness checks. + +## Suggested order + +Problems 2 and 3 unblock code (driver shape, binder graft) and should come first if the goal is +the eager end-to-end path; problem 1 is next since it delivers user-visible wins (`select *`) +with minimal machinery; 4–6 depend on measurements the eager path enables; 7 runs in parallel +with everything and gates all of it. diff --git a/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/scheduler-visible-work.md b/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/scheduler-visible-work.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..697d7ef91a9 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/scheduler-visible-work.md @@ -0,0 +1,583 @@ +# Scheduler-Visible Work Inside a Morsel + +## Status and scope + +This note sharpens one part of the [self-paced execution proposal](self-paced.md): how one morsel +exposes every currently actionable I/O and CPU operation to an external scheduler without running +expensive work in the coordination loop or rescanning the execution tree after every completion. +The [morsel reactor architecture](morsel-reactor.md) consolidates the resulting component and +interaction model.

DataFusion's API is +experimental, and DuckDB's source is from the commit pinned by the Vortex +`origin/myrrc/duckdb-2.0` branch, so both may change. + +### DataFusion morsel-driven I/O + +DataFusion introduced this model as a sequence of changes: + +- [use `ParquetPushDecoder` in `ParquetOpener`](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/20839); +- [make the Parquet opener an explicit state machine](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/21190); +- [split Bloom-filter I/O from CPU](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/21285); +- [introduce `Morselizer`, `MorselPlanner`, and `MorselPlan`](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/21327); +- [rewrite `FileStream` around morsels](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/21342); and +- [dynamically schedule files from a shared queue](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/21351). + +The current +[`MorselPlanner`](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/main/datafusion/datasource/src/morsel/mod.rs) +performs synchronous CPU planning and returns a `MorselPlan` containing: + +```rust +struct MorselPlan { + morsels: Vec>, // CPU-ready output work + ready_planners: Vec>, // CPU-ready planning work + pending_planner: Option,// one I/O future +} +``` + +A `Morsel` has all required input bytes and may decode them into a `RecordBatch` stream without +performing I/O. A planner is explicitly the unit of I/O, and there is at most one pending I/O +future per planner. DataFusion can have several planners and file streams in flight, and sibling +file streams can take files from a shared work queue. + +The Parquet implementation has an explicit +[`ParquetOpenState`](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/main/datafusion/datasource-parquet/src/opener/mod.rs) +whose load states contain I/O futures and whose other states perform CPU planning. After opening, +the +[`ParquetPushDecoder`](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/main/datafusion/datasource-parquet/src/push_decoder.rs) +alternates among `NeedsData`, `Data`, and `Finished`: requested byte ranges are fetched and pushed +back into the decoder until it can produce a batch. + +This gives DataFusion three valuable properties: + +1. CPU planning does not accidentally hide I/O inside a large async closure. +2. I/O-complete morsels can move independently into CPU decoding. +3. Idle file-stream partitions can take unopened files from busy siblings. + +Its present API is narrower than the proposed Vortex contract: + +- one planner exposes at most one pending I/O future at a time; +- a `MorselPlan` does not describe an arbitrary mix of several I/O and CPU tasks with costs, + coverage, and demand authorization; +- `FileStream` owns a single pending planner and an active morsel reader per stream; +- work stealing is currently at the unopened-file level; and +- dependencies and conditional future reads remain inside the planner state machine. + +DataFusion is therefore strong evidence for separating CPU and I/O phases and returning work to a +caller. It is not yet a complete scheduler-visible dependency frontier within one morsel. + +### DuckDB asynchronous source tasks + +The Vortex `origin/myrrc/duckdb-2.0` branch pins DuckDB commit +[`b3062a5e`](https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/tree/b3062a5e82f50d77ff6e1006a36f645a79bc4936). +The Vortex branch itself is an API-compatibility change: it updates vector integration and removes +optimizer hooks that are absent from that DuckDB revision. The relevant scheduling design is in +the pinned DuckDB source, not in the Vortex branch diff. + +DuckDB's +[`AsyncResult`](https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/blob/b3062a5e82f50d77ff6e1006a36f645a79bc4936/src/include/duckdb/parallel/async_result.hpp) +is closer to scheduler-visible work. A table function can return a blocked result containing a +vector of `AsyncTask` objects: + +```cpp +class AsyncTask { +public: + virtual void Execute() = 0; + virtual idx_t GetIOSize() const { return 0; } +}; + +class AsyncResult { + AsyncResultType result_type; + vector> async_tasks; + TaskSchedulerType pool_type; +}; +``` + +The +[`PhysicalTableScan`](https://github.com/duckdb/duckdb/blob/b3062a5e82f50d77ff6e1006a36f645a79bc4936/src/execution/operator/scan/physical_table_scan.cpp) +schedules those tasks through the executor and returns `SourceResultType::BLOCKED`. If the executor +cannot accept the asynchronous path, it can run the tasks synchronously. A taskless blocked result +means the function registered its own wake-up through the interrupt state. + +This gives DuckDB properties worth retaining: + +1. One source call can expose several independent tasks. +2. Tasks can select a worker pool and report known I/O size. +3. The pipeline parks instead of occupying a worker while the source is blocked. +4. Completion wakes the interrupted pipeline task. + +It is still not the full proposed Vortex contract: + +- `BLOCKED` and output are exclusive results; +- `AsyncTask` is executable but semantically opaque to the scheduler beyond pool and I/O size; +- the API does not expose row-domain coverage, candidate versus required status, or sealed demand; +- conditional dependencies remain private source state; and +- waking the pipeline does not itself identify the smallest affected operator inside a Vortex + execution graph. + +DuckDB demonstrates that returning a vector of work to an executor is practical. Vortex needs a +richer, descriptive work item and finer completion routing because compressed layout operators +compose inside one scan source. + +### Comparison + +| Property | DataFusion | DuckDB pinned revision | Proposed Vortex | +| --- | --- | --- | --- | +| CPU and I/O distinguished | Yes | Yes, by task/pool convention | Yes, explicit `WorkKind` | +| Several ready CPU items | Ready planners and morsels | Vector of `AsyncTask` | Arbitrary ready work set | +| Several ready I/O items from one activation | At most one per planner | Yes | Yes | +| Work returned as data | Partly | Executable task objects | Descriptive work items | +| Output and new work together | `MorselPlan` can hold morsels and planners | No, blocked or output | Yes | +| Conditional future work | Planner state | Source state | Named gates and fact subscribers | +| Demand attached to work | No exact row-mask capability | No | Candidate or sealed authorization | +| Coverage attached to work | File/morsel structure | Internal source state | Domain and dense row coverage | +| Completion routing | Poll pending planner/stream | Wake pipeline task | Direct task-to-fact-to-node routing | +| Current stealing scope | Unopened files across siblings | Pipeline tasks | Tasks across nodes, morsels, and scans | + +## Proposed Vortex contract + +The current self-paced proposal registers work through `DriveContext` and returns one of `Batch`, +`Blocked`, `Done`, or `Yield`. The stronger contract returns work, output, and waits together: + +```rust +trait MorselReactor { + fn resolve( + &mut self, + task: TaskId, + result: TaskResult, + ) -> VortexResult<()>; + + fn advance( + &mut self, + transition_budget: usize, + ) -> VortexResult; +} + +struct PlanStep { + ready: Vec, + output: Vec, + gates: Vec, + locally_quiescent: bool, + done: bool, +} +``` + +`advance` performs only bounded, cheap state transitions. It returns every work item discovered +before local quiescence or budget exhaustion. If the transition budget is exhausted, +`locally_quiescent` is false and the coordinator should be queued again immediately; already +discovered work remains available to the scheduler. + +A work item is descriptive and has a stable identity: + +```rust +struct WorkItem { + id: WorkId, + owner: ExecNodeId, + kind: WorkKind, + phase: WorkPhase, + necessity: Necessity, + coverage: DomainCoverage, + authorization: DemandAuthorization, + estimated: Cost, + inputs: SmallVec<[FactId; 4]>, + output: FactId, +} + +enum WorkKind { + Read(ReadSpec), + Cpu(CpuSpec), +} + +enum Necessity { + Candidate, + Required, +} + +enum DemandAuthorization { + Open { generation: u64 }, + Sealed(OwnedSealedDemand), + InfallibleMetadata, +} +``` + +Returning the same item again is harmless. `WorkId` is stable until the item completes, is +eliminated by demand, or the morsel is cancelled. Promoting a candidate read to required preserves +its identity and physical `ReadKey`, so speculative and blocking uses cannot issue duplicate I/O. + +CPU work should be large enough to justify external scheduling. Cursor movement, fact publication, +mask slicing, gate expansion, and cached-frontier comparison remain inline. Decode, expression +evaluation, gather, and material array construction normally become `CpuSpec` values. + +## Incremental dependency graph + +`advance` must not start at the root and recursively inspect the complete operator tree after each +completion. Opening a morsel compiles the plan into an indexed reactor: + +```rust +struct ExecGraph { + nodes: SlotMap, + facts: SlotMap, + tasks: SlotMap, + runnable: VecDeque, + queued: BitSet, +} + +struct FactSlot { + value: Option, + generation: u64, + subscribers: SmallVec<[ExecNodeId; 2]>, +} + +struct TaskSlot { + owner: ExecNodeId, + output: FactId, + state: TaskState, +} +``` + +Resolving a task performs: + +1. index `TaskSlot` directly by `TaskId`; +2. store an owned result or result handle in its output `FactSlot`; +3. enqueue only that fact's subscribers, coalescing duplicate enqueues; and +4. drain the dirty-node queue until it is empty or the transition budget expires. + +Node transitions may publish facts, which enqueue further subscribers. A parent subscribes to +cached child-frontier facts; it does not recursively drive the child to discover whether it +changed. A gated node subscribes to the fact that resolves its gate. Demand consumers subscribe to +the precise demand event they need. + +```text +task completion + | + v +TaskId -> output FactId -> subscribers -> dirty-node queue + | + +-> new work + +-> new facts + +-> output prefix + +-> resolved gates +``` + +Events are wake-up hints; fact and task slots are durable truth. Duplicate or coalesced wakes do +not change semantics. + +### Demand subscriptions + +Demand events should not wake every projection node: + +| Demand change | Subscribers | +| --- | --- | +| Open candidate mask shrinks | Next predicate stage for that block | +| Predicate set for a block becomes empty | Demand ledger | +| Contiguous sealed frontier advances | Projection root and required-read promotion | +| Block becomes exactly empty | Read-catalog elimination queue | +| Summary generation changes | No eager catalog walk; entries rescore lazily on admission | + +This preserves exact masks for correctness without turning every mask revision into a graph walk. + +## How expensive is the dependency graph? + +The graph must have one node per operator state and one slot per live task or fact, never one node +per row. Page and segment reads are catalog entries or task slots keyed by ranges, not permanent +execution nodes. + +Let: + +- `P` be the number of physical operator nodes; +- `E` be the number of operator edges and fact subscriptions; +- `T` be the number of live I/O and CPU tasks; +- `S` be the subscribers of one completed fact; and +- `D` be the local node transitions caused by that completion. + +The expected costs are: + +| Operation | Cost | +| --- | --- | +| Compile immutable plan metadata per scan | `O(P + E)` | +| Open mutable state for one morsel | `O(P + E)` initialization, with static subscriptions copied from a template | +| Insert or look up a stable task | Amortized `O(1)` using a slot map plus task-key index | +| Resolve one task | `O(1 + S + D)` | +| Drain to local quiescence | `O(number of actual state transitions)` | +| Intersect a 100,000-row exact mask | About 1,563 64-bit words | +| Rescore all reads | Avoided; use lazy demand generations | + +`S` should normally be one or two: the owning node and perhaps a shared gate or parent. A struct +parent with twenty children scans twenty cached frontiers when one frontier changes; it does not +visit the twenty child subtrees. Twenty integer comparisons are simpler and likely cheaper than a +heap at that fan-out. + +### Illustrative memory budget + +The following is a sizing exercise, not a measured Rust layout. Assume one simple morsel has 12 +operator states, 18 subscriptions, 16 live task slots, and 16 fact slots: + +| Item | Illustrative size | Count | Total | +| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | +| Operator state header | 128 bytes | 12 | 1.5 KiB | +| Subscription edge | 16 bytes | 18 | 288 bytes | +| Task slot | 64 bytes | 16 | 1 KiB | +| Fact slot excluding result payload | 48 bytes | 16 | 768 bytes | +| Dirty queue and bit sets | — | — | Less than 1 KiB | +| **Graph bookkeeping** | — | — | **Approximately 4–6 KiB** | + +By comparison, one exact mask for 100,000 rows is 12,500 bytes. Three simultaneous exact masks are +about 36.6 KiB. Compressed buffers, decoded arrays, and task results are usually much larger. The +dependency graph should therefore be a secondary cost if it uses compact IDs and arenas. + +The likely performance risks are not graph asymptotics but: + +- allocating every work item separately; +- using hash maps where a generational slot index suffices; +- creating CPU tasks for operations cheaper than task launch; +- cache misses from boxed node state; +- waking the same node repeatedly before it runs; +- retaining completed result payloads after all subscribers consumed them; and +- creating task or graph nodes at row granularity. + +The first implementation should use arenas or slot maps, `SmallVec` subscriber lists, a queued bit +for wake coalescing, stable `WorkId` values, and explicit result-release counts. It should measure: + +- nanoseconds per `resolve` and per local transition; +- graph bytes per morsel; +- live task and fact high-water marks; +- dirty nodes per completion; +- drives or transitions per emitted row; +- duplicate wake coalescing; and +- scheduler task-launch time versus useful CPU time. + +## Worked query + +Consider a file containing orders. `customer_name` is dictionary encoded as an order-row codes +column plus a customer-domain values column: + +```sql +SELECT order_id, customer_name +FROM orders +WHERE status = 'OPEN' AND total > 100; +``` + +For one illustrative morsel `[0..16)`, the physical plan is: + +```text +MorselRoot [0..16) + FilterCoordinator + Eval(status == 'OPEN') + SegmentScan(status) + Eval(total > 100) + SegmentScan(total) + Pack + SegmentScan(order_id) + Take(customer_name) + SegmentScan(customer_name.codes) order-row domain + SegmentScan(customer_name.values) customer sub-root + Rebatch +``` + +The important dependency graph is: + +```text +read status -> test status -> StatusMask ----\ + +-> DemandLedger -> SealedDemand +read total -> test total -> TotalMask ----/ | + +-> read order_id -> decode order_id --\ + | +-> Pack -> output + +-> read name codes -> decode codes / + | / + v / + GatherDemand / + / \ / + read page 0 read page 1 / + | | / + decode 0 decode 1 -> Take ------/ +``` + +This graph has 12 long-lived operator/coordinator nodes. The read, decode, predicate, and +gather operations are dynamic task slots created only while live. + +### Initial advance + +Demand is open and every row may survive. Static preparation already knows the status, total, +order-ID, and codes read addresses. The values-page addresses are unknown until the codes resolve. + +```text +ready: + W0 read status Candidate, predicate + W1 read total Candidate, predicate + W2 read order_id Candidate, projection + W3 read customer_name.codes Candidate, projection + +gates: + G0 customer_name.values pages wait for decoded codes +``` + +The scheduler sees all four reads. It may admit only `W0` and `W1` because they can eliminate most +rows. `W2` and `W3` remain stable candidates and will be returned again until admitted, eliminated, +or promoted. + +### Predicate reads resolve + +Completing `W0` writes `StatusBytes` and directly wakes only the status scan node. Its transition +returns: + +```text +W4 decode status and evaluate status == 'OPEN' +``` + +Completing `W1` similarly returns `W5` for total. There is no root-to-leaf scan. + +Suppose the CPU results are: + +```text +StatusMask = {1, 3, 6, 11, 14} +TotalMask = {1, 2, 6, 9, 11} +``` + +The second mask completion wakes the `DemandLedger`, which publishes: + +```text +SealedDemand([0..16)) = {1, 6, 11} +``` + +Publishing that fact wakes the projection root and required-read promotion. Existing `W2` and `W3` +keep their IDs but change from candidate to required. If they were already in flight, no duplicate +read is issued. + +### Projection reads resolve + +The order-ID and codes reads each wake only their owner and return independent CPU tasks: + +```text +W6 decode order_id for sealed rows {1, 6, 11} +W7 decode customer_name.codes for sealed rows {1, 6, 11} +``` + +Assume `W7` produces: + +```text +row 1 -> customer 42 +row 6 -> customer 17 +row 11 -> customer 42 +``` + +The codes fact wakes `Take`, which resolves `G0` into exact gather demand `{17, 42}`. Suppose those +IDs occupy two values pages. The next step returns all concrete I/O: + +```text +W8 read customer_name.values page containing ID 17 +W9 read customer_name.values page containing ID 42 +``` + +No API could have returned these physical reads before `W7`; their addresses were genuinely +data-dependent. The initial step nevertheless exposed the dependency as `G0`, so the scheduler +knew why no name-value reads were available. + +### Values and output resolve + +The two page reads independently expose decode work: + +```text +W10 decode values page for ID 17 +W11 decode values page for ID 42 +``` + +When both facts exist, `Take` returns a gather task while `Pack` may already hold the decoded +order IDs: + +```text +W12 gather names [42, 17, 42] +``` + +Resolving `W12` advances the `Take` frontier and wakes `Pack`, which then returns: + +```text +W13 pack order_id and customer_name +``` + +The final result records dense coverage separately from compact values: + +```text +ExecBatch { + rows: 0..16, + values: 3 rows, +} +``` + +An all-false sealed demand would still commit dense progress through row 16 with zero compact +values and without scheduling `W2` through `W13`. + +### Completion cost in the example + +Resolving `W7` does not inspect all 11 operator nodes. It performs approximately: + +```text +TaskSlot(W7) + -> write CodesFact + -> enqueue Take + -> Take computes GatherDemand + -> publish GatherDemand + -> enqueue values sub-root + -> values sub-root returns W8 and W9 +``` + +That is one task lookup, two fact publications, two node transitions, and two new work items. The +cost follows the changed dependency path, not the full tree. Independent branches remain asleep. + +## Recommended changes to the self-paced proposal + +The implementation prototype should test this stronger returned-work interface before committing +to effectful `DriveContext::require_read` and `submit_cpu` calls: + +1. Replace exclusive `DriveResult` control with a `PlanStep` that can contain work, output, gates, + and completion state simultaneously. +2. Compile plan edges into fact subscriptions when a scan and morsel open. +3. Route `TaskId` directly to an output fact and subscribers. +4. Retain the ticket store as durable state; use completion events only to enqueue exact nodes. +5. Keep the per-scan `ReadCatalog`, with per-morsel logical uses and stable physical `ReadKey` + deduplication. +6. Treat open demand as scheduling evidence and sealed demand as execution authorization. +7. Return every currently known work item before declaring local quiescence. +8. Represent unknown future reads as gates whose resolving facts have explicit subscribers. +9. Benchmark graph overhead independently from I/O, decode, and mask costs. + +The DataFusion and DuckDB designs validate the CPU/I/O split from opposite directions. DataFusion +shows a planner returning CPU-ready morsels and explicit I/O continuations. DuckDB shows a source +returning several executor-owned tasks when it blocks.

File paths are +relative to `vortex-layout/src/plan/exec/`. + +The one-sentence architecture: **a scheduler that only knows "morsel in, ordered batches out", a +pluggable policy that computes each morsel's demand mask, and a per-field vtable that moves +demand down and results up — everything else is a kernel.** + +## How a scan executes + +Before the piece-by-piece detail, the two flows those pieces compose into. + +### Plan level: from a file to a batch stream + +```text +SourcePlan + ScanQuery immutable; built once, predicates coalesced + | +StructScanPipeline::new wire topology: one ConcatDomain per field, + | shared projected-chunk emission boundaries + | +morsel ranges natural splits merged; computed once per scan + | +run_pipeline_sharded(pipeline, ranges, threads) + | reused pool, one shared atomic morsel cursor + | + thread 1..N, each: a fast thread pulls more morsels; + loop { a straggler blocks nobody + i = cursor.fetch_add(1) + pipeline.execute(ctx, ranges[i], sink) -- emits 1..k batches + ctx.end_morsel() -- drop the morsel's decode cache + } + | +batches sorted by (morsel index, emission index) -> ordered output stream +``` + +The scheduler never learns what a pipeline does; the pipeline never learns which thread runs it +or in what order morsels complete. + +### Morsel level: the pipeline's phases + +One `execute` call moves a morsel through three phases; demand shrinks monotonically in the +first, is immutable after the second, and streams out during the third: + +```text ++---------------------------------------------------------------------+ +| FILTERING DemandPolicy::morsel_demand | +| for each conjunct, in policy order: | +| push_demand(field) cut the morsel, price each chunk | +| decode demanded chunks via the per-thread cache | +| predicate kernel full / sparse / dense regime | +| pull_mask -> demand adopted subset; no intersection | +| (a zero-demand chunk is never read; None demand means all-true) | ++-------------------+--------------------------------+----------------+ + | demand nonempty | demand empty + v v ++-----------------------------------+ +------------------------------+ +| SEALED selection := demand | | SEALED EMPTY | ++-------------------+---------------+ | emit one dense zero-value | + v | batch; done | ++-----------------------------------+ +------------------------------+ +| EMITTING cut + price every projected field ONCE for the morsel, | +| then one batch per span between consecutive chunk | +| boundaries shared by every projected field: | +| selection and selected count come from zero-copy slices and the | +| already-priced segment counts (no recounting, no re-cutting) | +| for each projected field: | +| take its pre-cut span segments -> decode -> pull_array | +| release the span's decoded chunks | +| pack_struct_array -> sink(ExecBatch) | ++-------------------+------------------------------------------------+ + v + DONE end_morsel() clears the remaining cache +``` + +The invariants that make this correct: demand only shrinks while filtering and never changes +after sealing; span cuts are boundaries of *every* projected field, so no projected chunk +straddles a cut and each span's chunks have no later use in the morsel; batches leave the sink in +row order within the morsel, and the scheduler restores cross-morsel order by index. + +### Morsel level: the reactor's state machines + +The reactor makes the same flow explicit as data — four interlocking machines instead of three +inline phases. **Result slots** hold every value exactly once: + +```text + offer claim complete +Empty ---------> Offered ---------> Running ---------> Ready(value) + | | + | revoke | failure + v v + Empty Failed +``` + +**Tasks** move through the scheduler: offered (with `Promote` and `Revoke` updates while queued), +claimed into a `RunnableTask` that owns cloned inputs and holds leases, evaluated by any worker, +and returned as a `Completion` the owner adopts. **Morsels** are driven by repeated `advance` +calls: + +```text +advance(budget) --> Budgeted budget expired: call advance again immediately + \--> Quiescent nothing to do until an outstanding task completes + \--> Retired final batch emitted; remaining leases drain +``` + +**Resources** (one per shared segment) track availability +`Absent -> Reading -> SegmentReady -> Decoding -> ArrayReady` crossed with lifetime: pinned while +any joined morsel or claimed lease uses them, reusable while an unresolved morsel still might, +dead otherwise. The external driver loop ties the machines together: `advance`, apply the task +updates, claim and evaluate admitted work, feed completions back, repeat until `Retired`. + +The pipeline collapsed all of this into the three inline phases above — same model, no machinery +— which is why it is both the fastest mode and the harder one to observe; the reactor remains the +observable, contract-checking form. + +## Part 1: the pieces and why they exist + +### The plan: `SourcePlan`, `ChunkPlan`, `FlatPlan` (`model.rs`) + +```rust +struct FlatPlan { + field: FieldId, + segment: SegmentId, + root_coverage: Range, + row_count: usize, + estimated_bytes: Option, + encoding: FlatEncoding, // RawI64 | Serialized { dtype, read_ctx, array_tree } +} +``` + +A `FlatPlan` is one physical leaf: "rows N..M of field F live in segment S, decoded like E". A +`SourcePlan` is field names plus a list of `ChunkPlan`s, each holding one `FlatPlan` per field. +`SourcePlan::try_from_layout` validates a reopened `Struct(Chunked(Flat))` footer into this form. + +**Why it exists this way.** V1 holds the same information implicitly, spread across reader +objects, and re-derives it per call. Making it one immutable value means every later decision — +cutting, pricing, skipping — is arithmetic over data, and the plan can be built once and shared. +The rule that goes with it: **planning does no compute**. An eager plan-time materialization of +the per-morsel segment cutting was built and measured slower (it serialized ~100ns/segment +arithmetic that sixteen threads otherwise do in parallel), so the plan stays purely descriptive. + +### The query: `ScanQuery`, `Conjunct`, `Predicate` (`model.rs`) + +A query is `conjuncts: Vec` (a `FieldId` plus a comparison) and `projection: +Vec`. Before execution, `coalesce_same_field_predicates` intersects compatible predicates +on the same field algebraically — two bounds on `l_shipdate` become one `RangeExclusive`. + +**Why.** Every conjunct pass costs a decode traversal over the demanded rows; predicates that can +be fused in the query representation should never reach the executor twice. On TPC-H Q6 this cut +predicate tasks from 2,290 to 1,374 and halved aggregate predicate latency. + +### Demand: `Option` + +Demand is the morsel's still-alive row set. It is a plain bit buffer — not an array, not a mask +object — and `None` means "all rows", kept symbolic. + +**Why.** Materializing an all-true buffer per morsel was measurable waste on sub-millisecond +scans, and most morsels of an unfiltered scan never need physical bits at all. `BitBuffer` is the +cheapest representation that supports the three operations demand actually needs: `count_range` +(pricing), `slice` (cutting), and `&` (intersection). + +### The per-thread context: `PipelineCtx` (`pipeline.rs`) + +```rust +struct PipelineCtx<'a> { + source: &'a dyn SegmentSource, + session: &'a VortexSession, + decoded: HashMap, +} +``` + +`decoded_chunk(plan)` reads and decodes a chunk once per thread, keyed by segment identity. +`release(segment)` drops one cached decode, and `end_morsel()` drops them all. + +**Why per-thread rather than shared.** A shared cache needs locks or an owner, which is the +coordinator problem all over again. Per-thread caching needs neither, and because morsel groups +tend to end on natural splits, the cost is at most a handful of duplicate boundary decodes per +run (measured: one on ClickBench Q45). The cache is also what makes filter/projection sharing +work: a field used by both decodes once (FineWeb Q10 reads 238 MB against V1's 358 MB). + +**Why the cache is scoped, not scan-lived.** An unbounded cache retains every chunk a thread +touches — memory proportional to the whole scan. Instead the executor releases each emission +span's chunks the moment its batch is emitted, and the scheduler clears the rest between +morsels, so executor-retained decoded memory is bounded by one thread's current working set. A +chunk shared with an adjacent morsel is re-read: the same bounded, deterministic duplicate the +cross-thread boundary case already accepts. Emitted batches keep their own refcounted views, so +end-to-end residency is the consumer's pace plus the working set — which is what streaming +output is for. + +### The scheduler: `run_pipeline_sharded` (`pipeline.rs`) + +Roughly seventy lines: a lazily created, **reused** thread pool per thread-count, one shared +`AtomicUsize` morsel cursor that threads `fetch_add` from, results tagged with their morsel index +and sorted at the end. + +**Why so small.** The scheduler's entire knowledge of execution is `dyn MorselPipeline`, so there +is nothing else for it to do. Why self-scheduling instead of pre-assigned contiguous groups: fixed +groups left tail imbalance whenever morsel counts were few or uneven (ClickBench dashboard +1.06 -> 0.82, Q40 1.22 -> 0.67 after the switch). Why a reused pool: per-run thread spawns were +the dominant fixed cost of sub-millisecond scans. Order restoration by index keeps the ordered +output contract without any cross-thread coordination during the scan. + +### Trait 1 of 3: `MorselPipeline` — all the scheduler sees + +```rust +type BatchSink<'s> = dyn FnMut(ExecBatch) -> VortexResult<()> + Send + 's; + +trait MorselPipeline: Send + Sync { + fn execute<'a, 'c>( + &'a self, + ctx: &'a mut PipelineCtx<'c>, + range: Range, + sink: &'a mut BatchSink<'_>, + ) -> BoxFuture<'a, VortexResult<()>>; +} +``` + +**Why it exists.** The reactor generation proved that coupling the scheduler to node structure +puts every node change on the scheduler's critical path — and the coordinator that resulted was +89% busy while workers starved. Behind one trait, any node graph is schedulable and no new node +ever touches scheduling. Output streams through the sink as ordered dense-prefix batches — the +struct pipeline emits one per shared projected-chunk span — and emitting a single whole-morsel +batch remains the valid degenerate stream. + +### Trait 2 of 3: `DemandPolicy` — how a morsel's demand gets computed + +```rust +trait DemandPolicy: Send + Sync { + fn morsel_demand<'a, 'c>( + &'a self, + ctx: &'a mut PipelineCtx<'c>, + fields: &'a FieldSet<'a>, + query: &'a ScanQuery, + ) -> BoxFuture<'a, VortexResult>>; +} +``` + +Three implementations, all output-identical (conjunction commutes, and every result is adopted as +a subset of the demand it was evaluated under — the hash gate checks this on every run): + +- **`CascadeDemand`**: conjuncts in query order against shrinking demand. A chunk whose demanded + rows price to zero is neither read nor decoded; a mask pulled up from a cascade round is + already a subset of the current demand, so it is adopted directly with no intersection. +- **`EagerDemand`**: every conjunct over every row, then intersect. Exists as the baseline the + cascade must beat and because dense demand makes gating cost more than it avoids. +- **`AdaptiveDemand`** (default): the cascade with two measured behaviors folded in. Conjuncts + run most-selective-first using survival rates accumulated across morsels in lock-free atomics + (unobserved conjuncts keep query order via a neutral prior); and any conjunct whose current + demand is at least half dense switches to full-evaluate-and-intersect, because the dense + crossover was measured directly (ClickBench Q02 at 87.7% survival: cascade 2.38 vs eager 1.31). + +**Why a trait.** The crossovers are workload properties, not code properties. Swapping the policy +must touch nothing but the policy object — and did, repeatedly, during the experiments. + +### Trait 3 of 3: `FieldDomain` — row-domain relationships as a vtable + +```rust +trait FieldDomain: Send + Sync { + fn push_demand<'a>(&'a self, range: &Range, demand: Option<&BitBuffer>) + -> VortexResult>>; + fn pull_mask(&self, range: &Range, parts: Vec<(Range, BitBuffer)>) + -> VortexResult; + fn pull_array(&self, segments: &[ChildSegment<'_>], arrays: Vec, + true_count: usize, range_rows: usize, shared_mask: Option<&Mask>) + -> VortexResult; +} + +struct ChildSegment<'p> { + plan: &'p FlatPlan, // the physical leaf to read + chunk_local: Range, // the overlap in the child's coordinates + parent_local: Range, // the overlap in the parent's coordinates + demanded: usize, // demanded rows in this overlap — the price + demand: Option, // demand restricted to the overlap (None = all) +} +``` + +Every parent/child row relationship is one **down demand transform** (`push_demand`: cut the +parent range into child segments and price each) and two **up transforms** (`pull_mask`, +`pull_array`: reassemble child results in parent coordinates). `FieldSet` is the per-morsel view +that hands callers the right vtable per field; policies and projection speak only to it and +cannot tell relationship kinds apart. + +**Why this shape.** + +- *Pricing inside the cut* is what makes skipping free: callers drop `demanded == 0` segments + before any read, and `pull_array`'s coverage check sums the already-priced counts instead of + re-scanning bits. +- *Per-chunk dispatch, never per row* is why the abstraction costs nothing measurable: after the + vtable refactor, FineWeb moved ~0.32 -> ~0.34 geometric mean and TPC-H was unchanged. +- *Modeled on the layout's native metadata* — prefix sums, offsets, refcounts — rather than any + materialized row mapping, which is the executable form of the design's `DomainMap` idea. + +### The kernels (`evaluate.rs`) + +Plain functions with no scheduling opinions: `decode_flat` (raw or serialized chunk to +`ArrayRef`), `pack_struct_array`, and the predicate kernels with three demand regimes: + +```text +full demand vectorized multiversioned collector, no mask consulted +sparse (<= 1/5) iterate set bits, evaluate only demanded rows +dense-but-partial two vectorized passes: full evaluation, then AND with demand +``` + +**Why three regimes.** Each boundary is a measured crossover: sparse iteration wins when demand +is rare; consulting the demand bit per row loses to two vectorized passes once demand is dense +(this switch is what made five-conjunct chains competitive under the cascade); and full demand +should never touch a mask at all — an all-match "optimistic pre-scan" fast path was tried and +removed because the scalar loop lost to the multiversioned collector. + +### The output: `ExecBatch` + +`coverage` (dense root-row range), `selection` (the sealed demand sliced to the batch's span, as +a boolean array), `array` (the packed compact values). The selection *is* the sealed demand — +filtering and output selection are one object. The pipeline streams one batch per shared +projected-chunk span; the reactor modes still emit one whole-morsel batch, the valid degenerate +stream. + +### The reactor generation (`model.rs`, `slots.rs`, `graph.rs`, `reactor.rs`, `baseline.rs`) + +The first executor modeled execution as an explicit task graph, and it remains in the tree as the +validated-contract reference and as the `pooled`/`owned` modes (`VORTEX_SELF_PACED_SHARD_MODE` in +`baseline.rs`). Its pieces: + +- **Write-once slots** (`slots.rs`): a five-state machine per result — + `Empty -> Offered(task) -> Running(task) -> Ready(value) | Failed`, with `revoke` returning an + offered slot to empty. Every transition checks task ownership, which is what made wrong-type, + duplicate, stale, and revoked completions mechanically rejectable. +- **Offers, claims, leases** (`model.rs`, `reactor.rs`): an offered `Task` is descriptive (slot + identifiers only); `claim` clones resolved inputs into an immutable `RunnableTask` and acquires + leases, so workers never touch the mutable store and revocation stays safe. +- **Resource nodes** (`graph.rs`): scan-wide state per physical segment. Lifetime is a + three-line classification — joined users or leases pin it, unresolved users keep it reusable, + otherwise it is dead — which answers "can this decoded array be dropped" without a graph walk. +- **Mask summaries** (`model.rs`): every boolean result carries `len`, `true_count`, and its bit + buffer, so planning and sealing never scan an array; `CachedPredicate` additionally records + exactly which rows it evaluated, making partial-predicate reuse coverage-safe. + +**Why it still exists.** These contracts are what the experiment set out to test, and they all +held. What did not hold was the execution architecture around them: one coordinator serializing +thousands of small transitions. The pipeline keeps the model (morsels, demand, skipping, +dedup-by-segment) and discards the machinery — the slot/offer/claim apparatus does not exist in +pipeline mode. The reactor is the proof of correctness properties; the pipeline is the proof that +they can be had cheaply. + +### Correctness enforcement (`tests.rs`, the harness) + +Four independent layers: `run_eager`, a trivially correct reference executor every mode is +differentially tested against; row-count plus ordered-output-hash gates before any timing, with +per-iteration row re-checks; a per-iteration cold-scan I/O invariant (each run must re-read its +warmup's unique-segment floor, byte-exact for self-paced); and a DuckDB oracle over the original +Parquet for seventeen workloads. Unit tests cover misaligned children, empty demand, shared +resources, and revocation. + +## Part 2: how each concept enters the executor + +A concept enters by answering three questions: *how does demand reach my rows* (`push_demand`), +*how do my masks come back* (`pull_mask`), *how do my values come back* (`pull_array`). The +answers sort every layout concept into one of three kinds: + +```text +identity same row domain -> share the demand handle; zero-copy up (Struct) +metadata map child cut from static -> a pure FieldDomain (Chunked) + offsets/counts +staged map child addresses need a -> a node that decodes the fact, then runs (Dict, List) + decoded fact first a second FieldDomain cycle +``` + +### Flat: the leaf + +Flat is not a `FieldDomain` — it is what the domains bottom out in. A `ChildSegment` names a +`FlatPlan`; executing it is `ctx.decoded_chunk(plan)` plus a kernel over the decoded values. Flat +contributes three things: a physical identity (`SegmentId`, the dedup and cache key), a coverage +(`root_coverage`, what cutting arithmetic consumes), and a decode recipe (`FlatEncoding`). Adding +a new leaf encoding means extending `decode_flat` and nothing else — no trait, no scheduler, no +policy change. + +### Chunked: `ConcatDomain`, the metadata-map archetype + +The chunked (concatenation) relationship is implemented entirely on the chunk-offset prefix sums +the layout already stores: + +- **`push_demand`**: `partition_point` binary-search to the first overlapping chunk, walk the + overlaps, verify they tile the range, and price each with `count_range` plus a demand `slice`. + Cost: `O(log chunks + overlaps)`, independent of row count. +- **`pull_mask`**: parts arrive in parent order and tile the range, so reassembly is ordered + `append_buffer` — with a zero-copy fast path when one segment covers the whole morsel. +- **`pull_array`**: slice each decoded chunk to its overlap; one part passes through, several + become a `ChunkedArray`. Then three exits in cheapness order: all rows demanded — return + unfiltered; the field gathered the whole range under partial demand — filter by the parent's + `shared_mask`, built once per morsel; otherwise concatenate the per-segment demand slices and + filter by that (a lazy `FilterArray`, matching V1's output materialization). + +**Why this is the archetype**: every decision is arithmetic over `root_coverage` values that +exist in the plan. Nothing is decoded to *decide* anything. And because each field owns its own +`ConcatDomain`, fields with mutually unaligned chunk boundaries need no alignment step — cutting +is root-row arithmetic per field (unit-tested with fields chunked `[0,3,10)` against +`[0,6,10)`). + +### Struct: the identity relationship + +Struct is deliberately *not* a `FieldDomain` either, because there is no transform to write: its +children share its row domain. Its two halves live in `StructScanPipeline::execute`: + +- **Down**: compute the morsel's demand once via the `DemandPolicy`, cut and price every + projected field once against that shared mask, and build one selection `Mask` per emission + span, shared by every field that gathers the span (`shared_mask`). Identity means share, not + copy — the span loop only consumes what the morsel-level cut produced. +- **Up**: `pack_struct_array` assembles the field arrays into a `StructArray` without copying + values. + +A nested struct is the composition of identities — which is why the restricted executor can +simply flatten fields; a nested output shape would pack twice, nothing more. + +### Dict: how it would look + +A dictionary field is two children in different row domains: **codes** (one per row — the row +domain) and **values** (one per distinct value — the dictionary domain). The codes side is +ordinary: codes chunks form a `ConcatDomain`, and demand reaches them exactly as it reaches any +Flat field. What is new is that the *values* work cannot be priced from metadata: which value +pages matter depends on which codes survive — the design documents call this a gated (or +`GatherGated`) edge. + +That makes Dict the staged-map archetype. The clean composition keeps `FieldDomain` pure-metadata +and stages two cycles inside the node: + +```rust +struct DictField { + codes: ConcatDomain, // row domain -> code chunks (static metadata) + values: ConcatDomain, // dictionary domain -> value chunks (static metadata) + // scan-wide decoded-values cache, keyed by (SegmentId, coverage): morsels + // share dictionaries, so value pages outlive any one morsel. +} +``` + +- **Filtering on a dict field** needs no new demand machinery: evaluate the predicate once over + the values domain (small), producing a matching-code set; the per-row kernel becomes code-set + membership over the decoded codes. To the `DemandPolicy` this is just another conjunct — the + demand algebra is untouched, only the kernel differs. This is also the cheap path: the values + domain is usually orders of magnitude smaller than the row domain. +- **Projecting a dict field** stages: (1) `codes.push_demand(range, demand)` and decode the + surviving code segments — a normal metadata cycle; (2) compute the distinct surviving codes — + the gather set, the data-dependent fact; (3) treat the gather set as an immediately-sealed + demand over the dictionary domain and run `values.push_demand(0..dict_len, gather_mask)` — a + second, ordinary metadata cycle that prices and skips value pages exactly like chunks; (4) + decode the demanded value pages (through the scan-wide cache) and `take(values, codes)` upward. + +Two things follow from the staging. First, the values domain is a *sub-root*: its demand is +sealed the moment the gather set exists, because nothing else can shrink it — so no new demand +states are needed. Second, the seam holds without modification: `push_demand` stays synchronous +arithmetic in both cycles; the only await points are the two decode stages, which live in the +node exactly where Flat's decode already lives. The alternative — making `pull_array` async and +handing it the context so a domain can read — was rejected because it would let data dependencies +leak into the vtable that every pure-metadata relationship shares. + +List is the same staged shape with a different fact: offsets instead of codes, run-expansion of +masks instead of gather sets, and the down transform reads `offsets[k]..offsets[k+1]` per +demanded outer row. + +### The checklist for a new concept + +1. Same row domain as the parent? Share the demand handle by refcount and pack zero-copy upward. + No trait implementation needed (Struct). +2. Child mapping computable from plan metadata? Implement `FieldDomain` — cut, price, reassemble + (Chunked; any fixed-arithmetic mapping). +3. Child mapping requiring a decoded fact? Build a node that decodes the fact under demand, then + runs a second `FieldDomain` cycle in the child's domain, with a scan-wide cache when the child + domain outlives morsels (Dict, List). +4. Register it: a projected field's entry in `StructScanPipeline` is a `Box`; a + new pipeline shape is a new `MorselPipeline`. The scheduler, the demand policies, and the + kernels do not change — that separation is the point of the three traits. diff --git a/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/self-paced-executor-tutorial.md b/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/self-paced-executor-tutorial.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..284dd679311 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/self-paced-executor-tutorial.md @@ -0,0 +1,305 @@ +# The Self-Paced Execution Model, From First Principles + +This tutorial teaches the experimental self-paced execution model to a reader who knows Layout +V1 and nothing else. It introduces one concept at a time, in the order the experiments +introduced them, and ties each back to its V1 counterpart. The +[findings report](self-paced-plan-exec-findings.md) has every benchmark table; the +[handover](self-paced-plan-exec-handover.md) has the code map; the +[executor reference](self-paced-executor-reference.md) explains each implementation piece and how +new layout concepts plug in. Here the goal is understanding. + +## 1. What you already know: V1 in three sentences + +In V1, a scan asks the layout tree for its **splits** (`register_splits` unions the chunk +boundaries of every field the query touches), then turns each split into an independent task on +the Tokio runtime. Each task calls `filter_evaluation(row_range, expr, mask)` to get a survivor +mask and `projection_evaluation(row_range, expr, mask)` to get the output rows, and each layout +node (struct, chunked, flat) implements those vtable methods by translating the row range into +its children's coordinates. A 15M-row file with ~1,800 splits therefore becomes ~1,800 futures, +each a black box that reads, decodes, filters, and projects its own little row range. + +Hold on to two properties of this design, because the whole experiment is a reaction to them: + +- **The unit of work is the split**, and there are thousands of them. Every split pays the + future/scheduling machinery, and two splits that need the same segment don't know about each + other. +- **Filtering and projecting are one opaque call per split.** The engine cannot see "predicate + A eliminated 99% of rows, so don't bother reading column B for this region" across the + boundary of a split, and it cannot share partially-computed filter state. + +## 2. The experiment's question, and its restricted world + +The self-paced experiment asks: if execution could see *inside* the scan — which rows are still +alive, which segments serve which predicates — could it do less work and go faster? + +To make that tractable it restricts the world to one layout shape: +**`Struct(Chunked(Flat))`** — a struct of non-nullable i64 fields, each field a sequence of +flat chunks, all fields' chunks aligned at the same row boundaries. No compression, no nulls, no +strings (string datasets are ingested by hashing strings to i64). Real datasets (FineWeb, +ClickBench, TPC-H lineitem, gnomAD genomics) are converted into this shape so the *scheduling* +question can be studied without the *encoding* question. Everything below lives inside this +restriction; the last section says what lifting it takes. + +## 3. Concept: the plan (`SourcePlan`) + +V1 discovers structure lazily by walking reader objects. The experiment instead builds one +explicit, immutable description of the file up front: + +``` +SourcePlan +├── field_names: ["url_hash", "text_len", ...] +├── row_count: 14_868_862 +└── chunks: [ChunkPlan { root_coverage: 0..8192, fields: [FlatPlan, FlatPlan, ...] }, ...] + where FlatPlan = { field, segment_id, root_coverage, row_count, encoding } +``` + +A `FlatPlan` is one physical leaf: "rows 8192..16384 of field 3 live in segment 1042". That's +the whole plan — pure metadata, no data, built once per file. Everything the executor does is +phrased against it. (V1 analogue: the information `register_splits` and the readers hold +implicitly, made explicit and queryable.) + +**Rule learned the hard way (section 12): planning does no compute.** The plan describes; the +executor works. + +## 4. Concept: the morsel + +The **morsel** is the self-paced unit of scheduling and ordering: a contiguous root-row range, +formed by merging 16 consecutive natural splits (so ~1,800 V1 splits become ~116 morsels). A +morsel may span several chunks. Its output is a sequence of dense-prefix batches in row order: + +``` +ExecBatch { coverage: 524288..655360, selection: BoolArray, array: StructArray } +``` + +A morsel *streams* those batches out rather than holding its whole result: streaming bounds +retained output memory, hands downstream consumers work before the morsel finishes, and is what +makes time-to-first-batch measurable. The pipeline executor emits one batch per span between +chunk boundaries shared by every projected field, releasing each span's decoded chunks at +emission; the reactor modes still emit one batch per morsel, the valid degenerate stream. + +Why merge? Each unit of work pays fixed machinery cost; fewer, bigger units amortize it. Why +not merge everything into one? Parallelism needs at least as many units as cores, and output +should stream. The experiments ended with an *adaptive* merge (`clamp(splits/32, 1, 16)`) +because a fixed 16 collapsed compact datasets (8 splits -> 1 morsel -> 1 core). + +**The fairness contract** for every number in these docs: V1 runs over the *unmerged* natural +splits, exactly as production V1 would; only self-paced gets morsels; both scan the same +serialized bytes with the same query, and row counts plus an ordered output hash are validated +before any timing. + +## 5. Concept: demand + +This is the one genuinely new idea; everything else is scheduling. **Demand** is a bitmask over +a morsel's rows meaning "these rows are still alive". It starts all-true and only ever shrinks: + +``` +morsel rows: [r0 r1 r2 r3 r4 r5 r6 r7] +initial demand: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 +after A > 5: 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 <- conjunct A evaluated on all 8 rows +after B == 3: 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 <- B evaluated ONLY on the 5 surviving rows +projection: read/decode/copy only what covers rows r1, r6 +``` + +Three consequences, each worth money: + +1. **Later predicates evaluate fewer rows.** On FineWeb Q06, later conjuncts evaluated 25K rows + and skipped 29.7M row-visits. +2. **Whole segments can be skipped.** Before reading a chunk for predicate B or for projection, + count demand in that chunk's range; zero means don't read it. The empty-result shapes read + only the first filter column (1,823 requests vs V1's 7,292). +3. **The final demand mask *is* the selection** for the output batch — filtering and output + selection are the same object. + +V1 has a cousin of this (the mask threaded through `filter_evaluation`), but per split and +opaque; demand is morsel-wide state the executor can inspect, count, and route work by. + +## 6. Generation 0: the reactor (what the handover left us) + +The original executor modeled everything as a task graph: every read, decode, predicate, +selection, and pack was a **task** flowing through offer -> claim -> complete states, with +results in **slots**, morsels subdivided into per-chunk **fragments** so demand could advance +segment-by-segment, and cached predicate results (with explicit evaluated-row coverage) shared +between consumers. One **coordinator** thread owned all mutable state; a 16-thread pool +evaluated claimed tasks. + +It was correct, observable, and **2.5x slower than V1** on the headline workload. The rest of +this tutorial is what the measurements said and what each redesign changed. + +## 7. Measure before believing: phase timing + +We added wall-clock attribution to the coordinator loop (drain / advance / schedule / dispatch / +wait) plus a timestamp on every worker completion. Finding: the coordinator was **89% busy** +(advance 34%, completion handling 28%, dispatch 24%) and each finished worker result sat ~17us +in a queue before being absorbed. The workers were starving behind the coordinator. + +We then applied every micro-optimization the code audits suggested — allocation-free mask +adoption, batched state transitions, skipped scheduler passes. Q06 moved 2.53x -> 2.32x. +**Lesson: reducing work on a serialized path barely moves wall time. You must parallelize the +path or delete it.** + +## 8. Generation 1: sharded coordinators (2.32x -> 1.40x) + +Observation: almost all coordinator state is *morsel-local*. So partition the morsel list into +N contiguous groups, give each group its own private `Execution` and coordinator thread, share +the worker pool. Because morsel boundaries land on chunk boundaries, no segment straddles +groups — the sharded run performed byte-identical I/O. Four shards: **1.40x**. + +## 9. Generation 2: owned execution (1.40x -> 0.79x) + +If four self-contained coordinators work, the coordinator/worker split itself is the question. +**Owned mode**: 16 threads, each owns a morsel group and runs the *whole* loop inline — +coordinates its own demand state and executes every read, decode, predicate, and selection +itself. No pool, no completion channel, no dispatch, no queue. Thread count now equals V1's. +Q06 became a win (0.79) and the model collapsed to something simple: **morsel-driven +self-coordination**. The cross-thread communication was the cost; the coordination logic never +was. + +## 10. Generation 3: the pipeline (0.79x -> 0.41x) + +Owned mode still ran the reactor's task-graph machinery per morsel. The final rebuild keeps the +execution *model* (morsels, demand, skipping) and discards the task graph. It is defined by +three traits — this is the part worth learning, because it is the extensibility story: + +**(a) `MorselPipeline` — all the scheduler knows.** + +```rust +trait MorselPipeline { + fn execute(&self, ctx: &mut PipelineCtx, morsel: Range, sink: &mut BatchSink) + -> Future<()>; +} +``` + +The sink receives the morsel's output as ordered dense-prefix batches — the struct pipeline +emits one per shared projected-chunk span — so a morsel's results flow out before the morsel +finishes and nothing accumulates a whole morsel's output. + +The scheduler is ~40 lines: threads pull morsel indices from one shared atomic counter (work +stealing — a fast thread takes more morsels; order is restored by index), each on a reused +pool, each with a `PipelineCtx` holding a per-thread decoded-chunk cache (so a field used by +filter *and* projection decodes once). Adding any new node or pipeline shape never touches this. + +**(b) `DemandPolicy` — how the morsel's demand mask gets computed.** + +```rust +trait DemandPolicy { + fn morsel_demand(&self, ctx, fields: &FieldSet, query) -> Future>; +} +``` + +The struct node computes demand once per morsel and shares the same refcounted mask with every +child. Implementations are swappable: `cascade` (conjuncts in order against shrinking demand, +skipping empty chunks), `eager` (all conjuncts in full, intersect), and the default `adaptive` +(order conjuncts by observed survival, most selective first; switch any conjunct to +full-evaluate-and-intersect when demand is >= 50% dense, because gating dense demand costs more +than it avoids — both behaviors are measured crossovers, and all policies are output-identical +by construction and by the hash gate). + +**(c) `FieldDomain` — row-domain relationships as two vtable transforms.** + +Every parent/child row relationship in a layout is expressible as a *down demand transform* and +*up result transforms*: + +```rust +trait FieldDomain { + fn push_demand(&self, range, demand) -> Vec; // down: cut + price + fn pull_mask(&self, range, parts) -> BitBuffer; // up: masks -> parent domain + fn pull_array(&self, segments, arrays, ...) -> ArrayRef; // up: arrays -> parent domain +} +``` + +`push_demand` cuts a parent row range into child segments — each with its coordinates in both +domains and its **demanded row count**, so callers skip empty children before any read. Each +relationship is modeled on the layout's own metadata, never a materialized mapping: + +| Relationship | Model | Down | Up | +| --- | --- | --- | --- | +| struct (zip) | none — same row domain | share the demand handle by refcount | zero-copy struct pack | +| chunked (concat) | chunk-offset prefix sums | binary search + `count_range` + mask slice | ordered append / chunk assembly | +| list (future) | its offsets buffer | two offset loads; run-expand masks | per-run reduce | +| filter/demand itself | bitmap + rank | `count_range` / `select` | — | + +Children with mutually **unaligned** chunk boundaries just work, because alignment is root-row +arithmetic, not a precondition (unit-tested with fields chunked `[0,3,10)` vs `[0,6,10)`). +Dispatch happens per *chunk*, never per row, so the whole trait seam measured ~0-5% — the +abstraction is effectively free. + +Result: Q06 at **0.41**. The attribution cornerstone is the wide select-all shape: both engines +read byte-identical data, nothing is avoidable, and the pipeline is still ~2.5x faster — the +residual advantage is purely cheaper scheduling units (tens of self-scheduled morsels vs +thousands of per-split futures) plus inline execution. + +## 11.

Two rules that came from failed experiments + +- **Planning does no compute.** Pre-materializing the segment cutting at plan time measured + *slower* (it serialized ~100ns/segment arithmetic that threads do in parallel, and per-scan + planning amortizes nothing). Deleted. Planning wires topology and shares demand handles; the + splits are computed once; all compute happens on the owning threads. +- **Fixed cost per morsel is its own budget.** Sub-millisecond scans (genomics dataset) exposed + per-morsel constants: per-run thread spawns, an all-true mask allocation, per-field `Mask` + construction, redundant coverage bit-scans — each individually invisible on a 10ms scan. All + removed (reused pool, mask-free full evaluation, single-segment zero-copy paths, one shared + selection `Mask` per morsel). Also: 5-iteration medians are noise at this scale; sub-ms + shapes use 100-iteration medians. + +## 13. What flowed back into production V1 + +The I/O audit caught V1 reading up to **2.7x the file size** on shared filter/projection scans: +`FlatReader::array_future` rebuilt its "shared" future on every call, so filter and projection +(and every split subdividing a chunk) re-read and re-decoded the same segment. The fix is the +pipeline's dedup idea under V1's memory discipline: memoize the future behind a `WeakShared` — +shared while any evaluation is live, freed when the last consumer drops, so scan memory stays +flat. Committed independently off `develop` (`worktree-v1-flat-reader-dedup`). All comparisons +above are against the *fixed* V1. + +## 14. How we know it's correct + +Four layers, in increasing independence: (1) every benchmark run validates identical row counts +and an ordered full-output hash between V1 and self-paced before timing, and every timed +iteration re-checks row counts; (2) the pipeline is tested against `run_eager`, a trivially +correct reference, plus unit tests for misaligned children, empty demand, and the FlatReader +dedup/release semantics; (3) a per-iteration **no-caching invariant**: each run must re-read at +least its cold warmup's unique-segment bytes (byte-exact under deterministic policies); (4) an +external oracle — 17 workloads checked against **DuckDB over the original parquet**, all row +counts exact. + +## 15.

The production vertical slice should not begin until both have deterministic tests. + +## Phase 0: Establish the baseline + +### Rationale + +V1 and current plan v2 contain behavior that is easy to lose while changing control flow: +all-false masks still cover dense rows, filtering controls fallible projection, nested coordinate +domains differ, and ordered streams constrain errors and limits. A baseline makes those semantics +an explicit oracle rather than an assumption. + +### Work + +1. Inventory every optimized plan operator and the scan features that construct it. +2. Identify representative existing tests for flat, chunked, struct, dictionary, list, zoned, + row-index, pruning, filters, selections, limits, and ordering. +3. Add a differential harness interface that can execute the same prepared scan with a selected + execution mode. +4. Record current output batches, compact row counts, errors, segment requests, and ordering for + the representative corpus. +5. Add baseline metrics needed for later comparisons: + + - time to first batch and total time; + - logical and physical read counts and bytes; + - duplicate segment requests; + - peak retained compressed and decoded bytes; + - output batch count and size distribution; and + - filter input and output cardinalities. + +6. Decide which current behavior is contractual and which is merely an implementation artifact. + In particular, record fallible expression and ordered-error behavior. +7. Answer the widening question: is there any supported or planned API through which demand can + widen after a scan opens? Selection is fixed at construction, pruning and predicates intersect, + and the only dynamic predicate is applied as file pruning before the scan opens. If nothing + widens, DemandEpoch is deleted from the design in Phase 2 and replaced by one debug assertion. +8. Build RebatchExec against the current executor. It depends on none of the new machinery, already + decouples the public batch size from the 100,000-row split unit, and gives the batch-size + distribution metric a stable reference point before anything else changes. + +Record read overlap between filter and projection explicitly in the baseline. Plan v2 gets it from +constructing projection futures before the filter mask resolves, and it is the property most easily +lost without anyone noticing. + +### Validation + +- The same input can run under two execution modes and compare arrays and errors. +- The corpus exercises every operator that must be supported before default rollout. +- Baseline metrics are obtainable without enabling the new executor. +- RebatchExec preserves output, ordering, limits, and errors on the current path. + +### Exit criterion + +A checked-in compatibility matrix names the oracle and expected semantics for every supported +feature. The widening question has an answer. Performance acceptance thresholds are recorded before +new-path measurements are viewed. + +## Phase 1: Implement domains and pure execution primitives + +### Rationale + +Prefix coverage, compact-mask slicing, ticket idempotence, and multi-child fairness are easier to +prove without real I/O, layouts, or async runtime behavior. These primitives are the highest fan-out +API in the design, so mistakes should be found before operator ports begin. + +Domains belong here rather than with the operators that need them. DomainMap is a refactor of state +five operators already hold — `ConcatData::row_offsets`, `RowIdxData::row_offset`, Zoned's +`zone_len`, ListPack's offsets arithmetic, and Take's codes/values split — so it can be written and +tested against `collect_plan_splits` before any execution node exists. Deferring it to Phase 9 +means retrofitting a domain parameter through eight phases of row-space assumptions. + +### Work + +1. Add crate-private types for: + + - MorselRange and, pending Phase 0's answer, DemandEpoch; + - DomainId and DomainMap, with `map_range`, `map_demand`, `unmap_frontier`, + `prefix_preserving`, and `is_static`; + - SealedDemand with its domain, mask offset, and `derive`; + - BatchRequest with `max_rows`; + - ExecBatch and BatchCursor; + - ExecOp and DriveResult, with Yield carrying progress evidence; + - ReadUseId, ReadTicket, CpuTaskKey, CpuTicket, and CreditTicket; + - WaitSet; and + - a bounded DriveBudget. + +2. Implement dense-prefix validation and compact-array split calculations using demand rank. +3. Implement a deterministic DriveContext with fake ticket tables. +4. Implement a driver that: + + - calls one node with serialized mutable ownership; + - loops through cheap transitions; + - stops at Batch, Blocked, Done, or Yield; + - validates that Blocked has a viable wait condition and Yield made progress; and + - tolerates duplicate and reordered wake-ups. + +5. Implement mock leaf, Concat-like, and Pack-like nodes whose natural boundaries are configurable. + At least one mock must sit behind a non-Identity map so the simulator cannot bake in row-space + assumptions that Phase 9 then has to unpick. +6. Implement parent capping: round one goes wide, later rounds cap at the agreed length. +7. Add debug-only frontier, derived-demand completeness, and credit ownership assertions. + +### Validation + +- Property tests generate mismatched child boundaries and prove gap-free, overlap-free output. +- Every possible dense split position of a sparse mask produces correct compact slices. +- An all-false prefix advances dense progress with zero values. +- A mock Pack registers every missing child's work before blocking. +- A K-child Pack whose children share a boundary emits one batch per boundary, not K. +- A child that can serve past the cap returns exactly the cap and retains its own surplus. +- Duplicate read or CPU registration returns the same ticket. +- Random completion order produces the same batches and final result. +- A perpetually ready node yields after its transition budget, and two Yields with no frontier or + ticket change trip an assertion. +- Derivation across each map is complete; a Coarsen derivation used for fallible work is rejected. +- `unmap_frontier` round-trips against `map_range` for every prefix-preserving map. + +### Exit criterion + +The simulator cannot produce a batch that violates the prefix, mask, cardinality, monotonic +frontier, or derivation invariants; parent capping keeps batch count independent of child count for +aligned children; and no test requires an event inbox for correctness. + +## Phase 2: Implement DemandLedger and summaries + +### Rationale + +Mask ownership determines error semantics and drive frequency. It must be settled before projection +execution is connected to live filters. The scheduler summary is built alongside the ledger so the +optimization cannot become a second source of truth. + +### Work + +1. Divide each morsel into configurable demand blocks, initially 1,024 rows. +2. Store the exact candidate mask, remaining predicate set, revision, and Open or Sealed state per + block. +3. Implement monotone exact intersections and independent block sealing. +4. Track the contiguous sealed frontier from the projection commit point. +5. Restrict SealedDemand construction to the ledger, and derivation to the operator owning the + edge's DomainMap. +6. If Phase 0 found a widening case, implement a new-epoch operation for it. If it did not, delete + DemandEpoch and keep one debug assertion that intersections never widen. +7. Maintain two authoritative facts, one derived cache, and one generation: + + - exact candidate upper counts per block; + - block state; + - a maybe-nonempty bit set rebuilt from the counts, kept only so the scheduler can scan many + blocks in one bitwise pass, never written independently; and + - one monotone summary generation. + + Do not add a separate tri-state summary or sealed-nonempty set: both are derivable, and the + rationale for this phase is that the optimization must not become a second source of truth. + Estimated remaining counts are scheduling-only and may be omitted from the first implementation; + `FilterExpr::report_selectivity` records one rate per conjunct globally, so applying it + uniformly carries no per-block information. + +8. Expose changes as coarse notifications: + + - SealedFrontierAdvanced; + - CoverageEliminated; + - EpochReplaced; and + - SummaryGenerationChanged. + +9. Benchmark exact intersection and population count against block-summary maintenance for + 100,000-row masks at several densities. + +### Validation + +- Predicate results complete in every order and yield the same sealed mask. +- Projection cannot obtain SealedDemand for an open block. +- A sealed block rejects further intersection. +- Widening within an epoch is rejected; a new epoch invalidates uncommitted capabilities. +- maybe-nonempty false is always a safe elimination proof. +- Expected counts never participate in a correctness branch. +- Count-only intersection bounds contain the exact intersection for randomized masks. +- Summary generation changes are coalesced across a configurable update interval. + +### Decision gate + +Confirm or revise the 1,024-row block default using measured mask overhead, time-to-first-sealed +prefix, and read-coverage precision. The exact bit mask remains mandatory regardless of block size. + +### Exit criterion + +Projection wake decisions can be derived from the sealed frontier, and read scoring can use summary +generations without visiting projection nodes. + +## Phase 3: Implement plan preparation and a per-scan ReadCatalog + +### Rationale + +Repeatedly asking every execution node to “offer” future reads would turn drive into a mask-update +polling loop. A stable catalog makes all statically visible I/O schedulable once and provides one +deduplication identity for speculative and required use. + +The catalog spine belongs to the scan, not the morsel. Segment identity and row coverage are +morsel-independent facts, and only necessity and lifecycle vary per morsel. Phase 1's DomainMap +also supplies coverage mapping, so the catalog does not need its own notion of when a nested or +lookup operator must fall back to conservative coverage. + +### Work + +1. Add ReadCatalogBuilder and immutable catalog entries with: + + - stable logical use and physical read keys; + - owning plan or execution node; + - estimated bytes; + - the entry's own DomainId and coverage within it; + - scan phase; + - cancellation group; + - optional dependency gate; and + - initial necessity. + +2. Represent necessity and data lifecycle as independent state axes. +3. Build the catalog spine **once per scan**, in ScanState, with a cheap per-morsel view. Segment + identity and row coverage are morsel-independent facts; only necessity and lifecycle are + per-morsel. Rebuilding per morsel costs `columns × segments-per-morsel` entries every morsel. +4. Add preparation support for the initial row-equivalent operators: + + - SegmentScan describes its segment; + - Concat maps morsel ranges through its Shift maps; + - Pack visits every projected field and validity child; + - Eval delegates physical reads to its child; and + - shared physical keys across filter and projection uses are retained once. + +5. Add GateId and one-shot gate expansion for the non-static maps, initially exercised by fakes. +6. Implement coverage-to-demand-block mapping as DomainMap composition from the owning node up to + the ledger domain: all-static and prefix-preserving gives exact coverage, a Coarsen on the path + gives coarsened coverage, and a gated map gives group coverage until the gate expands. This + replaces per-operator judgement about when to fall back to "a conservative group". +7. Implement generation-stamped lazy read scoring. +7. Prototype preparation as a crate-private hook. Do not finalize a new public PlanVTable method + until the vertical slice shows whether describe and open should share one traversal. + +### Validation + +- Preparing the same plan twice produces stable keys. +- A projection and predicate using one segment produce one physical request with two logical uses. +- Flat, Concat, and Pack preparation covers every segment intersecting the morsel and no segment + wholly outside it. +- A morsel view over the shared spine allocates no per-morsel entries. +- Catalog entry count for a wide struct scales with the scan, not with morsel count. +- A required promotion preserves the original physical key. +- A gate expands once even under duplicate wakes. +- An entry covering only zero-count blocks becomes Eliminated. +- Coverage composed through Identity, Shift, and Fence edges is exact; through a gated edge it is a + group until expansion. +- Lazy rescoring observes the newest generation before admission without eagerly visiting every + catalog entry on a mask update. + +### Decision gate + +Choose the long-term plan hook: + +- defaulted methods on PlanVTable; +- a companion internal execution vtable; or +- one combined prepare-and-open hook that still exposes separate semantic products. + +Prefer the smallest public API. Reject an approach that requires runtime downcast chains in the +steady-state executor. + +### Exit criterion + +The complete statically visible read set for a row-equivalent plan can be prepared once per scan, +shared uses deduplicate by key, coverage is computed by map composition rather than per-operator +judgement, and open-mask changes require no plan-tree traversal. + +## Phase 4: Build the minimal ticket scheduler + +### Rationale + +Operator state machines need durable, idempotent work handles before real decode logic is added. +Starting with a deterministic scheduler separates ticket semantics and credits from thread-pool +tuning. + +### Work + +1. Implement a read store keyed by ReadKey and wrap the current SegmentSource request future. +2. Implement candidate admission and required promotion under: + + - a global compressed-byte budget; + - a per-morsel compressed-byte budget; and + - a reserved progress allowance for blocking reads. + +3. Implement CPU tickets with an initially deterministic or inline executor. +4. Implement separate decoded, task-result, retained, and output credits even if the first CPU + backend runs inline. Reserve each class per morsel at admission, and never deny the oldest + in-flight morsel: a reserve for blocking *reads* does not prevent hold-and-wait on *decoded* + credit, where several morsels each retain partial results and none can advance. +5. Implement a runnable-morsel queue and WaitSet subscriptions. +6. Treat completions as wake hints; poll durable ticket state after every wake. +7. Implement cancellation, result release, and oversized-unit credit. +8. Add trace and metric points for every lifecycle transition. + +### Validation + +- Candidate-to-required promotion never duplicates the physical request. +- Required work can make progress when speculative credit is exhausted. +- With every credit class saturated by retained decoded state across several morsels, the oldest + morsel still advances to completion and releases. +- Cancellation releases queued credit and eventually releases completed buffers. +- Duplicate completion wakes do not repeat state transitions. +- A result that completes before WaitSet registration is still observed. +- One oversized indivisible unit can run without allowing multiple oversized units to exceed the + isolation rule. + +### Exit criterion + +Fake nodes can read, compute, block, wake, yield, cancel, and release resources using only tickets +and durable state. + +## Phase 5: Deliver a row-equivalent vertical slice + +### Rationale + +SegmentScan, Concat, and Pack exercise physical reads, sequential row routing, sibling concurrency, +prefix alignment, and retained tails without introducing lookup or nested coordinate domains. They +are the smallest slice that tests the central architectural claim. + +### Work + +1. Implement SegmentScanExec: + + - use the prepared segment read; + - preserve current whole-segment decode initially; + - submit decode through a CPU ticket; + - slice decoded output into sealed prefixes; and + - release segment and decoded state behind the frontier. + +2. Implement ConcatExec with child-local translation through its Shift maps and one BatchCursor. +3. Implement PackExec with one cursor per field and validity child, propagating demand across + Identity maps. +4. Track committed, ready, and CPU-scheduled frontiers plus retained bytes per Pack child. +5. Drive every missing Pack child before returning Blocked. +5a. Implement capping: round one goes wide to every child and sets the agreed length, later rounds + cap all children at it. A child that decoded past the cap keeps the surplus in node-local state + charged to its own decoded credit; parent-owned retention exists only where a child cannot + re-slice its own output. +6. Implement EvalExec for the projection operations needed by the initial test corpus, while + requiring sealed demand for fallible expressions. +7. Implement the exact compatibility adapter: + + - prepare the morsel and catalog before resolving MaskFuture when safe; + - await the exact mask and wrap it as one sealed demand region; + - gather every returned prefix; and + - produce the exact ArrayRef cardinality expected by PlanVTable::execute. + +8. Add a private execution-mode selection for supported plan trees. + +### Validation + +- Differential tests compare exact arrays and errors with current plan v2. +- Struct fields with every pair of adversarial chunk boundaries align correctly. +- The 64,000-row cheap field and 8,000-row wide field scenario runs both first reads and decodes + independently, emits 8,000 rows, and charges the cheap field's decoded surplus to that field. +- Subsequent rounds cap both fields at the agreed length; the cheap field serves them from its own + decoded segment and Pack retains nothing. +- A K-field struct whose fields share a boundary emits one batch per boundary, not K. +- A leading child stops materializing when its retained-byte credit is full. +- Sparse and all-false masks preserve dense progress. +- Segment requests are stable and deduplicated across shared uses. +- Unsupported plans select the old whole-morsel path before execution begins. + +### Decision gate + +Review the real API after three operators use it: + +- Is Box sufficient? +- Does plan preparation need a separate traversal? +- Is DriveResult expressive enough without an event payload? +- Does capping hold up, or do real encodings overshoot often enough to need parent retention? +- Are retained-byte ownership and release unambiguous? +- Does the exact adapter expose any semantic mismatch? + +Do not move to an arena or publish the API unless profiling or external use justifies it. + +### Exit criterion + +A flat, chunked, or struct plan can execute entirely through the new graph and exact adapter with +semantic parity and bounded retained tails. + +## Phase 6: Add the unfiltered self-paced morsel root + +### Rationale + +The next step should expose natural prefix streaming without adding live predicate refinement. +For an unfiltered scan, the initial selection is immediately sealed, which isolates morsel driving, +read-ahead, and output pacing. + +### Work + +1. Add MorselExec in scan-v2 with: + + - fixed row range; + - projection commit frontier; + - read, materialize, and emit horizons; + - root ExecOp; + - demand ledger with initially sealed selection; and + - cancellation and output credits. + +2. Replace `collect_plan_splits` with generic boundary derivation: walk edges whose DomainMap is + static and prefix-preserving, translating boundaries through the map, and stop at gated maps. + That switch already computes this by hand — its `child.row_count() == plan.row_count()` test is + an Identity check, its `row_offset + chunk_offset` is a Shift, and taking only Take's codes child + is skipping a GatherGated edge. Land it in one change that proves the derived boundaries match + today's, and keep the old function until they do. +3. Take a morsel view over the scan catalog and allow candidate reads to run ahead under + compressed credits. +4. Drive projection on sealed demand, yielding prefix batches as downstream capacity permits. +5. Initially gather or expose an internal test stream without changing public rebatching. +6. Confirm that no projection drive is needed merely to keep static read-ahead active. + +### Validation + +- Derived morsel boundaries match `collect_plan_splits` on the whole Phase 0 corpus, including + zoned, dictionary, and list plans. +- One 100,000-row morsel can emit several child-sized prefixes. +- Candidate reads beyond the current 8,000-row output prefix can be in flight while decoded lead + remains bounded. +- Drive occurs only for initial sealed demand, waited ticket completion, capacity, cancellation, + or Yield. +- A parked morsel consumes no worker thread. +- Multiple morsels can make independent progress. + +### Exit criterion + +Natural internal batching and whole-morsel read discovery work end to end for unfiltered scans +without increasing drive frequency with read-ahead distance, and morsel boundaries no longer depend +on a central operator switch. + +## Phase 7: Integrate pruning, filters, and sealed projection + +### Rationale + +This is the semantic center of the design. It replaces the current MaskFuture coupling while +preserving early projection I/O. Read scheduling may speculate from conservative demand, but +projection computation must observe an immutable final mask for each emitted window. + +### Work + +1. Initialize DemandLedger from Selection for each morsel. +2. Translate pruning and evidence results into monotone block intersections. +3. Run parallel or adaptive predicates over immutable stage masks. +4. Track remaining predicates per block and seal blocks independently. +5. Wake exact projection value execution only when the contiguous sealed frontier advances. +6. Keep projection planning and catalog read scheduling active for open blocks using immutable + snapshots and conservative summaries. +7. Promote the exact reads required by each sealed projection prefix. +8. Preserve current selectivity feedback and make expected block counts scheduling-only. +9. Classify computation: + + - safe metadata or evidence; + - explicitly safe infallible speculation; and + - demand-sensitive or fallible work requiring sealed demand. + +10. Define a new epoch or restart behavior for any API that can widen selection. + +### Validation + +- Predicate completions in different orders produce identical final output. +- Many open-mask revisions cause zero exact projection value drives until a prefix seals; candidate + read rescoring remains lazy. +- A projection read can start before sealing and is promoted without duplication later. +- A fallible projection is never evaluated on rows removed before sealing. +- All-false blocks advance the sealed frontier without projection values. +- A fully eliminated read coverage is cancelled or left only according to explicit scheduler + policy. +- Adaptive filter ordering retains its reported selectivity behavior. +- Epoch replacement cannot reuse stale SealedDemand or commit from the previous epoch. + +### Decision gate + +Lock the public error and dynamic-selection semantics. If the current behavior is ambiguous, +resolve it with a dedicated semantic test and review rather than letting scheduler order define it. + +### Exit criterion + +Filtered scans overlap conservative projection I/O with predicate work while exact projection +computation is driven only by sealed demand. + +## Phase 8: Add CPU concurrency and wavefront backpressure + +### Rationale + +The deterministic CPU backend proves state transitions but not intra-morsel concurrency. A real +backend is useful only after ticket ownership and mask semantics are stable; adding it earlier +would make races obscure contract bugs. + +### Work + +1. Submit expensive decode, expression, and array-construction work to the session runtime or a + dedicated CPU pool. +2. Require tasks to own inputs and return owned results. +3. Add a measured task-cost threshold; keep cheap coordination inline. +4. Allow one drive to register CPU tasks and reads for different children. +5. Enforce separate CPU input, output, and decoded-tail credits. +6. Compute a row-equivalent parent's materialization wavefront from: + + - the minimum child ready frontier; + - each child's scheduled frontier; + - estimated output bytes per row; and + - currently retained bytes. + +7. Reserve progress capacity for the child blocking the parent frontier. +8. Tune the transition budget and runnable-morsel fairness. + +### Validation + +- Independent struct fields decode concurrently when credits allow. +- A wide lagging field receives progress credit before a cheap leading field extends its tail. +- Compressed reads may reach the morsel end while decoded memory stays near the materialize + horizon. +- CPU task completion order does not alter output or error semantics. +- Cancellation cannot let an old task mutate or commit execution-node state. +- Metrics expose drive calls, transitions per call, blocked duration, task queueing, child + frontiers, and retained bytes. + +### Performance gate + +Run the mismatched-struct, wide-struct, and flat-segment microbenchmarks. Confirm that task-launch +overhead does not dominate small batches and that decoded memory remains bounded by credits. +Adjust thresholds from evidence, not operator-specific guesses. + +### Exit criterion + +The execution graph obtains useful intra-morsel I/O and CPU concurrency without concurrent mutable +access to nodes or unbounded leading-child materialization. + +## Phase 9: Port gated and coordinate-changing operators + +### Rationale + +These operators cross domains. With DomainMap in place from Phase 1, they split into two groups +rather than one hard class: ListPack, Zoned, and row-index are prefix-preserving and differ from the +core only in needing a gate or a coarsening, while Take's values child is the single GatherGated +edge in the system and is the only operator that genuinely breaks prefix composition. Do them in +that order — the easy group first validates the gate machinery before the sub-root model is added. + +### Work + +1. Implement ListPackExec, which is prefix-preserving throughout: + + - derive offsets demand as `d | (d << 1)` over the Fence map, rather than requesting all offsets; + - expand the element gate from decoded offsets, resolving the MonotoneGated map; + - implement `unmap_frontier` as a search for the largest `k` with `offsets[k] <= element_end`; + - buffer element-domain prefixes; and + - enforce indivisible list output and oversized permits. + +2. Implement ZonedExec evidence and data coordination through DemandLedger, with zone statistics + behind a Coarsen map. Assert that Coarsen-derived demand never drives fallible work. +3. Implement row-index and row-index-partition execution as Shift composition to the file domain. +4. Implement TakeExec, the one non-prefix-preserving case: + + - drive codes in the outer domain across an Identity map; + - expand the value gate from decoded codes; + - drive the values child as a **sub-root** with its own cursor and its own sealed demand over the + value domain, rather than inside Take's prefix cursor; + - default to sparse per-prefix gather, falling back to full materialization below a byte + threshold; and + - cache value results in ScanState under explicit credits, which is what makes the incremental + form work without any widening machinery. + +5. Complete Eval variants and any optimizer-produced operator combinations. +6. Define gate cancellation and cache reuse across repeated references. + +### Validation + +- A sparse outer filter reads materially fewer offsets than a whole-range request. +- List prefixes compose end to end: an outer prefix yields an element prefix, and `unmap_frontier` + agrees with the emitted outer rows. +- Dictionary domains larger and smaller than the morsel match the oracle. +- Repeated codes across successive outer prefixes hit the ScanState value cache rather than + re-reading, and no epoch is created. +- The values sub-root can itself be a Concat and still make prefix progress. +- Empty, null, and oversized lists crossing element batches match current semantics. +- Offset and code completion expands each gate exactly once. +- Zoned evidence eliminates all, none, and partial demand blocks correctly, and a Coarsen-derived + demand used for fallible work is rejected. +- Row indices remain absolute through sparse masks, prefix slicing, and rebatching. +- Differential coverage includes every optimized plan shape inventoried in Phase 0. + +### Decision gate + +Decide whether GatherGated is common enough to justify a specialized catalog coverage type or +scheduler queue. Avoid generalizing the prefix-preserving fast path before workload evidence. + +### Exit criterion + +Every supported plan-v2 operator can run in the new graph, every domain translation is a declared +DomainMap rather than inferred from ArrayRef length, and the one non-prefix-preserving edge is +isolated to Take's values sub-root. + +## Phase 10: Complete root stream semantics + +### Rationale + +Internal prefix correctness does not automatically provide a stable public stream. Rebatching, +ordered merging, limits, cancellation, and errors span morsels and therefore belong at the root. + +### Work + +1. Implement RebatchExec to concatenate small prefixes and slice large prefixes toward the + consumer target. +2. Merge morsels in row order for ordered scans and completion order for explicitly unordered + scans. +3. Apply limits after final filter cardinality is known: + + - stop creating later demand; + - trim the final sealed prefix exactly; + - cancel later morsels and speculative reads; and + - release buffered tails. + +4. Define first-error and ordered-error behavior to match the Phase 0 contract. +5. Propagate cancellation to read uses, CPU tasks, gates, and output buffers. +6. Add backpressure from ArrayStream to morsel output credits. +7. Ensure a zero-value dense prefix does not create a spurious empty consumer batch. +8. Preserve mapper and schema behavior from the current TaskContext path. + +### Validation + +- Consumer batches meet the target except at natural flush boundaries. +- Ordered and unordered scans match their documented row and error behavior. +- Limits cutting through sparse masks and internal prefixes return exactly the requested count. +- Cancellation at every read, CPU, retained-tail, and rebatch state releases resources. +- Empty selected output produces no public batch but still completes all dense frontiers. +- Multiple morsels cannot exceed global output or decoded-memory credits. + +### Exit criterion + +SelfPacedRoot is a complete alternative scan execution mode with no dependency on exact +whole-morsel result gathering. + +## Phase 11: Qualify, roll out, and retire + +### Rationale + +A scheduler can improve overlap while regressing small scans through coordination overhead, or hide +memory growth behind throughput. Rollout requires both semantic and resource evidence across local +and remote storage. + +### Benchmark matrix + +Include: + +- flat arrays with one segment per morsel and several segments per morsel; +- chunked arrays with aligned and adversarial boundaries; +- the 64,000-row cheap field versus 8,000-row wide field struct; +- narrow and very wide structs; +- dense, sparse, and all-false selections; +- no filter, high-selectivity filter, and low-selectivity filter; +- parallel and adaptive conjuncts; +- dictionary and list gates; +- zoned pruning that eliminates all, some, or no reads; +- local memory, NVMe, and object-store-style latency where available; +- ordered and unordered multi-morsel scans; and +- small scans where scheduler overhead is most visible. + +Measure: + +| Category | Metrics | +| --- | --- | +| Latency | Time to first prefix, first public batch, and completion | +| I/O | Candidate, promoted, eliminated, cancelled, duplicate, and physical reads; bytes read and wasted | +| CPU | Task count, launch overhead, queue delay, occupancy, and decode/eval time | +| Memory | Peak compressed, decoded, task-result, retained-tail, and output bytes | +| Coordination | Drive calls, transitions per drive, Yield count, wakes, and no-progress wakes | +| Demand | Revisions, blocks sealed, time to sealed frontier, and scheduler rescoring | +| Batching | Internal prefix and public batch size distributions | + +### Rollout steps + +1. Run differential tests in CI with the new mode non-default. +2. Add opt-in benchmarks and tracing for the new path. +3. Enable the exact adapter for supported row-equivalent plans in development builds. +4. Enable SelfPacedRoot behind an explicit option for the full supported plan set. +5. Run shadow or A/B comparisons where the environment supports them. +6. Make the new root default only after agreed semantic, memory, and performance gates pass. +7. Retain ExactRecursive as a rollback mode for at least one release or an agreed stabilization + interval. +8. Remove the old path only after: + + - no required operator falls back; + - differential testing is clean; + - production metrics show bounded memory; + - small-scan overhead is acceptable; + - object-store read amplification is acceptable; and + - maintainers approve the public API and deletion. + +### Exit criterion + +The self-paced root is the default, the rollback interval has completed without unresolved parity +or resource regressions, and obsolete exact-recursive code can be removed in a separate reviewable +change. + +## Suggested pull-request sequence + +Keep changes small enough that each review proves one claim: + +1. Baseline differential harness and execution-mode plumbing. +2. RebatchExec against the current executor. +3. DomainId, DomainMap, and the edge declarations for every existing operator. +4. Pure prefix, cursor, drive, ticket, capping, and simulator types. +5. DemandLedger, block summaries, and mask microbenchmarks. +6. ReadCatalog spine in ScanState, stable keys, coverage by map composition, and fake gates. +7. Minimal read store, per-morsel credit reservation, WaitSet wake queue, and scheduler tests. +8. SegmentScanExec plus exact adapter. +9. ConcatExec and PackExec with mismatched-boundary and capping tests. +10. Generic morsel-boundary derivation replacing `collect_plan_splits`. +11. Unfiltered MorselExec and whole-morsel read-ahead. +12. Pruning, adaptive filters, and sealed projection. +13. Real CPU tasks, wavefront credits, and struct concurrency benchmarks. +14. ListPack, Zoned, row-index, and Eval completion. +15. Take with a values sub-root and a bounded ScanState value cache. +16. Ordering, limits, cancellation, and full stream integration. +17. Qualification, default switch, and later old-path removal. + +Item 3 is separable and worth landing early even if nothing consumes it yet: it is a refactor of +state five operators already hold, it is testable against `collect_plan_splits`, and every later +item depends on its shape. + +Split a numbered item further when its test surface becomes difficult to review. Do not combine old +path removal with the default switch. + +## Cross-phase test matrix + +Every phase should preserve these invariants as soon as the relevant feature exists: + +| Area | Required cases | +| --- | --- | +| Prefixes | Natural boundary before, at, and after target; cap honoured; minimum prefix; all-false dense progress | +| Masks | Dense, sparse, empty, block edges, out-of-order predicate completion, epoch replacement if reachable | +| Pack | Two and many children, mismatched chunks, shared boundaries emitting one batch, nullable validity, retained-byte pressure | +| Reads | Candidate admission, promotion, elimination, sharing, rejection, retry, cancellation | +| CPU | Inline and scheduled paths, completion reordering, task error, task cancellation | +| Domains | Every DomainMap variant: derivation completeness, minimality where required, `unmap_frontier` round-trip, gate expansion, Take sub-root | +| Stream | Rebatch slices, ordering, limits, empty result, mapper error, consumer backpressure | +| Resources | Every credit class, per-morsel reservation, oldest-morsel progress, oversized unit, release after error | +| Liveness | No Blocked without a live condition, no Yield without progress, bounded drives per committed row | + +Use V1 where it is the behavior oracle and current plan v2 where it already defines the intended +generic-plan behavior.

Is a 1,024-row DemandLedger block the right initial balance? +4. Should the exact compatibility adapter prepare projection reads before MaskFuture resolves? +5. Which computation classes are safe to speculate, and who owns that classification? +6. Does the existing runtime provide the CPU-task and cancellation behavior required, or is a + scan-local pool needed? +7.

Which benchmark thresholds block default rollout? + +Question 6 of the previous list — what memory is charged where after a batch is sliced — is now +answered by rule: the node that can release it is charged for it, and a child that overshoots a cap +charges itself. + +The recommended first review scope is Phases 0 through 3. Those phases settle semantics, the domain +model, the drive contract, demand ownership, and read discovery without committing to production +scheduling or a public API. diff --git a/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/self-paced-plan-exec-experiment.md b/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/self-paced-plan-exec-experiment.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..a55c96bfe07 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/self-paced-plan-exec-experiment.md @@ -0,0 +1,1273 @@ +# Self-Paced Plan Execution Experiment + +This document proposes a small executable experiment for self-paced plan execution. It is not the +production implementation plan. Its purpose is to test the control-plane model of the +[morsel reactor](morsel-reactor.md) before integrating the complete Vortex expression, array, +layout, and scan stacks. + +The experiment belongs in: + +```text +vortex-layout/src/plan/exec/ +``` + +It asks whether: + +1. a morsel can expose I/O and CPU work without executing either; +2. independently completed conjuncts can monotonically reduce row demand; +3. later morsels can join results discovered by earlier morsels; +4. morsel retirement can prove when retained I/O and intermediate results are dead; and +5. a bounded `advance` can expose every currently concrete task without walking the whole graph. + +The experiment should favor an inspectable event trace and strong invariants over generality or +peak performance. + +The implemented experiment and its benchmark conclusions are recorded in the +[findings report](self-paced-plan-exec-findings.md). + +## V1 comparison invariant + +V1 must run with the layout's natural chunk boundaries. The self-paced morsel size is a candidate +scheduler parameter and must never be passed to V1 or used to subdivide V1 work. The comparison +harness therefore supplies `ScanBuilder::with_natural_splits` with boundaries derived directly +from `SourcePlan::chunks`; relying on the default `SplitBy::Layout` is incorrect for this +experiment because it may subdivide wide chunk spans at `IDEAL_SPLIT_SIZE`. + +Both engines must scan the same input rows and may use the same worker-thread pool.

Production plan execution remains unchanged. + +## Implementation plan + +Implement the experiment in stages. Each stage has an exit test and should remain reviewable on +its own. + +### Phase 1: contracts and typed slots + +Define identifiers, the scan- and morsel-scoped slot arenas, task states, `ResolvedValue`, array +summaries, completion validation, demand versions, and row-domain metadata. A worker returns a +resolved value to the execution owner; it does not mutate the reactor or slot store directly. + +Exit when wrong-type, duplicate, failed, and stale completions plus claims of revoked offers are +rejected or handled without leaving a slot permanently running. + +### Phase 2: restricted plan compilation + +Compile the experimental `Struct>` model into canonical Flat resources, field-chunk +row offsets, cross-chunk morsels, possible-user sets, and per-morsel reverse resource lists. + +Exit when global/local row mapping, resource interning, possible users, and graph-size accounting +are independently tested. + +### Phase 3: task protocol and reference evaluator + +Implement `Read`, `DecodeFlat`, `EvaluatePredicate`, `CombineDemand`, `SelectFlat`, and +`PackStruct`. Every offer declares only segment or array inputs and exactly one segment or array +output. Claiming an offer resolves and clones those inputs into an immutable runnable task while +acquiring their leases. Keep operation variants inside the fixed experimental evaluator rather +than the central completion protocol. + +Exit when every operation can be claimed, run outside the reactor without slot-store access, and +return a validated completion. + +### Phase 4: bounded per-morsel `advance` + +Implement a dirty queue, transition budget, task emission, promotion and revocation updates, +demand-version adoption, sealing, and root output. `advance` performs control transitions only and +never evaluates or intersects arrays. + +Exit when unrelated clean nodes are not visited, broad demand remains compact, and small and large +budgets eventually produce identical output. + +### Phase 5: Flat, Struct, and Chunked input + +Flat selects a morsel-specific array from a shared decode. Struct packs aligned field arrays. +Each field's Chunked layout maps the morsel range to an ordered list of Flat slices. A morsel may +therefore cross one or more aligned field-chunk boundaries; the evaluator concatenates selected +values from those slices before Struct packs the fields. + +Exit when every node output and the root result match the eager reference evaluator. + +### Phase 6: cross-morsel reuse and retirement + +Track possible users, joined users, and outstanding task leases. Implement pinned, reusable, and +dead classifications plus retain-until-dead and evict-when-unpinned policies. Retirement walks a +morsel's reverse resource list rather than the whole graph. + +Exit when later morsels reuse retained handles and arrays, eviction causes legal rereads, and no +dead or pinned resource is reclaimed incorrectly. + +### Phase 7: scheduler and control-plane benchmarks + +Add deterministic schedulers, virtual costs, metrics, traces, randomized completion schedules, and +the Divan control-plane benchmark. Produce the worked trace, policy table, scaling table, and +findings record described below. + +Exit when all schedules match the eager result and the boundedness and lifetime questions have +measured answers. + +### Phase 8: V1 optimized baseline + +Adapt the experiment to consume the same real serialized layout, `SegmentSource`, `BufferHandle` +values, and Vortex array decoding as the [V1 `LayoutReader`](layout-reader-v1.md). Add the +apples-to-apples benchmark described below only after the control-plane experiment passes. + +Exit when V1 and self-paced execution produce the same ordered logical output and their time, I/O, +reuse, first-batch, and memory measurements use identical fixtures and source-cache policies. + +## Static plan and query + +The experiment can use a small source-plan model: + +```rust +enum SourcePlan { + Flat(FlatPlan), + Struct(StructPlan), + Chunked(ChunkedPlan), +} + +struct FlatPlan { + segment: SegmentId, + row_count: usize, +} +``` + +`ChunkedPlan` assigns each child a range in the root row domain: + +```text +chunk 0: root rows [0, 8) +chunk 1: root rows [8, 16) +``` + +`StructPlan` declares that all field children share its row domain. A flat child identifies the +physical segment whose decoded values cover that domain. + +The query is deliberately small: + +```rust +struct ScanQuery { + conjuncts: Vec, + projection: Vec, +} + +struct Conjunct { + field: FieldId, + predicate: Predicate, +} + +enum Predicate { + Equal(i64), + LessThan(i64), + GreaterThan(i64), +} +``` + +Compilation validates the restricted source shape, creates one global resource node per canonical +flat segment, and determines every potential field use: + +```text +a: predicate P0 and projection +b: predicate P1 +c: projection +``` + +It records each resource's root-row coverage. That coverage maps morsels into segment-local rows +and identifies which unfinished morsels might reuse a result. + +## Morsels and shrinking demand + +Morsels partition the root row domain independently of aligned field-chunk boundaries. For two +eight-row chunks and a ten-row target: + +```text +chunk 0: root rows [0, 8) +chunk 1: root rows [8, 16) + +morsel 0: [0, 10) # slices chunk 0 [0, 8) and chunk 1 [0, 2) +morsel 1: [10, 16) # slices chunk 1 [2, 8) +``` + +Every morsel starts with an over-approximation containing all its rows: + +```text +Demand0 = all rows in the morsel +Demand1 = Demand0 ∩ matches(P0) +Demand2 = Demand1 ∩ matches(P1) +``` + +The reactor checks: + +```text +Demand0 ⊇ Demand1 ⊇ Demand2 ⊇ ... ⊇ SealedDemand +``` + +Resolved demand is a non-nullable boolean `ArrayRef`, held in a morsel-owned array slot: + +```rust +struct DemandState { + mask: ArraySlotId, + version: DemandVersion, + true_count: usize, + sealed: bool, +} +``` + +`advance` does not evaluate or intersect these boolean arrays. Predicate evaluation produces a +boolean `ArrayRef`; `CombineDemand` is a CPU task that intersects the old demand with one or more +predicate results and produces another boolean `ArrayRef`. Every boolean-mask result carries a +mandatory `BooleanMaskSummary` beside its `ArrayRef`, so planning need not scan the array. + +Demand seals when every correctness-relevant conjunct has completed or has been proven +unnecessary. Empty demand can seal immediately because no projection values are needed. Sealing +empty also revokes the morsel's unclaimed offers, marks running morsel-local results unwanted, and +removes the morsel from every resource's user sets. Task leases may keep a resource live until +claimed work finishes even when a speculative projection resource has no remaining morsel user. + +Each predicate task receives an immutable demand snapshot. Concurrent predicates can run against +different supersets of the current demand. Their boolean-array results remain valid because a +`CombineDemand` task intersects them with the current, smaller demand; removed rows never re-enter +demand. Within one morsel the snapshots form a single chain ordered by `⊇`, so a result's +validity never depends on which snapshot its task happened to read. + +## The global resource graph + +The graph primarily records reusable-result lifetime across morsels. It is not an eagerly +materialized graph containing one task for every possible row or segment. + +Each flat segment has a resource node resembling: + +```rust +struct ResourceNode { + segment: SegmentId, + root_coverage: Range, + segment_slot: SegmentSlotId, + array_slot: ArraySlotId, + unresolved_users: MorselSet, + joined_users: MorselSet, + state: ResourceState, +} +``` + +`unresolved_users` conservatively contains unfinished morsels that might use the resource. +`joined_users` contains morsels that have established an actual dependency. + +```text +may_use = unresolved_users ∪ joined_users +``` + +This set never grows. A morsel either: + +- moves from unresolved to joined when it discovers a use; +- is removed from unresolved when it proves no use is possible; or +- is removed from joined when it retires and releases its use. + +Discovering a use therefore joins an explicit edge without increasing conservative global demand. + +`joined_users` doubles as the wake-up list for shared completions: installing a value into one of +the node's slots marks every joined morsel dirty exactly once. Unresolved morsels are not woken; +they observe the resolved slot if and when they join. + +## Resource state and lifetime + +Result availability progresses independently of demand. The node's scan-owned slots remain the +only value store; `ResourceState` is a compact view over those slots and their task leases: + +```rust +enum ResourceState { + Absent, + Reading(TaskId), + SegmentReady, + Decoding(TaskId), + ArrayReady, +} +``` + +The lifetime classification is: + +```text +Pinned + At least one joined morsel or claimed task lease uses the result. + +Reusable + No joined morsel or claimed task lease uses it, but an unresolved morsel may use it later. + +Dead + No joined or unresolved morsel can use it and no claimed task lease holds it. +``` + +Pinned results cannot be discarded. Reusable results are cacheable but evictable under memory +pressure. Dead results should be discarded immediately. If a reusable result is evicted and a +later morsel joins the node, the reactor emits its work again. + +Suppose morsels 0 and 1 share flat segment `a0`: + +```text +initial: unresolved={0,1}, joined={} +morsel 0 activates: unresolved={1}, joined={0} +morsel 0 retires: unresolved={1}, joined={} # reusable +morsel 1 activates: unresolved={}, joined={1} # reuse result +morsel 1 retires: unresolved={}, joined={} # dead +``` + +The experiment may materialize `MorselSet` because its inputs are small. A production design would +use root-row ranges, chunk summaries, or hierarchical bitmaps so retirement need not scan every +resource node. + +## Operator outputs and transformed arrays + +Resource facts are not plan outputs. A decoded flat segment is reusable input; Flat selection and +Struct packing still need to produce morsel-local arrays. Chunked is compiled into the ordered Flat +slices consumed by those operations. + +The experiment therefore contains two connected graphs: + +```text +scan-wide resource graph + BufferHandle -> decoded ArrayRef + retained and reused across morsels + +per-morsel operator graph + Flat selections -> Struct output + retired with the morsel +``` + +The complete resolved-value vocabulary is: + +```rust +enum ResolvedValue { + Segment(BufferHandle), + Array(ResolvedArray), +} +``` + +The implementation should preserve type safety with two slot arenas rather than storing this enum +inside every slot: + +```rust +struct SegmentSlot { + state: SlotState, +} + +struct ArraySlot { + state: SlotState, +} +``` + +Slots are the only value store. The scan owns the arenas holding shared resource slots; each +morsel owns the arenas holding its operator-output and demand slots. A slot identifier names its +scope, so retirement frees exactly the morsel-owned slots and can never reclaim a shared resource +by accident. + +Every per-morsel plan node names an `ArraySlotId` for its output. Coverage and selection belong to +the node-edge metadata rather than forming another resolved value type: + +```rust +struct NodeOutput { + array: ArraySlotId, + coverage: Range, + selection: ArraySlotId, +} +``` + +The selection slot contains a boolean `ArrayRef`. `coverage` advances the plan even when selection +is sparse or empty. The selection lets a parent align independently produced fields, and the +output array length equals the selection's recorded `true_count`. + +Only the root wraps these pieces for the scan caller: + +```rust +struct ExecBatch { + coverage: Range, + selection: ArrayRef, + array: ArrayRef, +} +``` + +`ExecBatch` is an output envelope, not a third resolved value used by future tasks. + +### Flat output + +Flat separates the reusable decoded segment from its morsel-specific output: + +```text +Read(segment a0) + -> shared BufferHandle + +DecodeFlat(a0) + -> shared decoded ArrayRef + +SelectFlat(a0, local range, demand) + -> per-morsel ArrayRef +``` + +Predicate tasks may read the shared decoded array directly with a local range and immutable demand +snapshot. Once demand seals, `SelectFlat` slices and gathers projection values into a compact field +batch. This avoids confusing a reusable whole-segment decode with the array returned by the Flat +plan for one morsel. + +### Struct output + +Struct sends the same row coordinates to its requested fields. When every projected field has a +batch with identical coverage and selection, it exposes a `PackStruct` CPU task. That task creates +the `StructArray` and fills the Struct array slot. + +```text +Flat(a) batch ─┐ + ├─ PackStruct ─> Struct ArrayRef +Flat(c) batch ─┘ +``` + +Struct does not read or decode data itself. It routes field demand, waits for aligned field +outputs, and describes the array assembly work. + +### Chunked input + +Chunked translates a root morsel range into ordered Flat slices. The fields of the Struct must have +aligned chunk boundaries, but a morsel need not align with them. Predicate evaluation and Flat +selection consume all overlapping slices and preserve root row order. + +## Scheduler-visible work + +The reactor exposes one ticket type covering both I/O and CPU work, plus the two lifecycle updates +that an external scheduler must observe: + +```rust +struct Task { + id: TaskId, + class: WorkClass, + necessity: Necessity, + inputs: Vec, + output: OutputSlot, + operation: Operation, +} + +enum TaskUpdate { + Offer(Task), + Promote(TaskId), + Revoke(TaskId), +} + +enum WorkClass { + Io, + Cpu, +} + +enum Necessity { + Required, + Candidate, +} + +enum Operation { + Read(ReadOp), + DecodeFlat(DecodeOp), + EvaluatePredicate(PredicateOp), + CombineDemand(CombineOp), + SelectFlat(SelectOp), + PackStruct(PackOp), + ConcatChunks(ConcatOp), +} +``` + +`Necessity` matches the architecture's candidate/required split. `Promote` changes a retained +offer from candidate to required without changing its identity. `Revoke` removes an unclaimed +offer that demand has made unnecessary. `ConcatChunks` remains reserved: cross-chunk morsels are +handled by the multi-slice predicate and Flat-selection operations, so the experiment does not +produce a per-chunk output that needs concatenation. The operation enum belongs to the +experiment's fixed reference evaluator, not the central completion protocol. Every task declares +only segment or array inputs and exactly one segment or array output: + +```rust +enum InputSlot { + Segment(SegmentSlotId), + Array(ArraySlotId), +} + +enum OutputSlot { + Segment(SegmentSlotId), + Array(ArraySlotId), +} +``` + +Operation payloads also contain immutable plan metadata such as row ranges, dtypes, or predicates. +An offered `Task` is descriptive and contains slot identifiers, not the slot values. Immediately +before execution, the scheduler claims it: + +```rust +fn claim(&mut self, task: TaskId) -> VortexResult; + +enum ClaimResult { + Runnable(RunnableTask), + Revoked, +} + +struct RunnableTask { + id: TaskId, + inputs: Vec, + output: OutputSlot, + operation: Operation, +} +``` + +Claiming is a cheap owner-thread transition. It atomically checks that the offer is still live, +clones each resolved `BufferHandle` or `ArrayRef`, changes the task from offered to running, and +acquires input and output leases. The runnable task owns those immutable clones and never accesses +the slot store or morsel reactor. Revoking an offered task releases its output reservation. A +running morsel-local task cannot be revoked; empty sealing or retirement marks its result unwanted, +and its eventual completion releases the leases without installing the result. Shared reads and +decodes continue normally because another morsel may still use their result. + +For the worked query's first advance: + +```text +required I/O: read a for P0; read b for P1 +candidate I/O: read c for the projection +``` + +Available segments enable `DecodeFlat`. Decoded predicate fields enable independent +`EvaluatePredicate` tasks, whose boolean arrays feed `CombineDemand`. The scheduler may run +predicates sequentially or concurrently. Projection field I/O and shared decode can happen under +open demand, but the first experiment waits for sealed demand before emitting `SelectFlat` and +`PackStruct` work. + +## Incremental `advance` + +```rust +fn advance( + &mut self, + morsel: MorselId, + transition_budget: usize, +) -> VortexResult; +``` + +`advance` performs bounded planning and cheap state transitions only. It does not perform segment +I/O, decode arrays, evaluate predicates, or gather projection values. + +One invocation: + +1. observes already-submitted completions; +2. refines current demand; +3. joins resources required by visible work; +4. exposes reads for missing resources; +5. exposes decode work for available `BufferHandle` values; +6. exposes predicates whose inputs are decoded; +7. exposes `CombineDemand` when predicate arrays are ready; +8. adopts completed demand-array slots and seals when all conjuncts resolve; +9. promotes or revokes retained candidate offers that sealing affected; +10. exposes Flat selection and Struct packing work for sealed demand; +11. propagates completed operator arrays toward the Chunked root; +12. returns the root batch when it is ready; and +13. stops at local quiescence or the transition budget. + +```rust +struct AdvanceResult { + work: Vec, + output: Option, + state: MorselState, +} + +enum MorselState { + /// The transition budget expired; call `advance` again without waiting. + Budgeted, + /// No transition is possible until offered or running work makes external progress. + Quiescent, + /// The final output batch was returned; morsel slots are freed, and any leases still held + /// by unwanted running work release as their completions drain. + Retired, +} +``` + +Demand remains compact. A broad range controls a lazy task source; it does not build a task node +for every row or segment. The transition budget bounds planning effort and newly emitted updates +per call; it does not bound the number of offers the scheduler may retain across calls. `Budgeted` +and `Quiescent` mirror the architecture's `locally_quiescent` flag: work already returned remains +schedulable in both states, so exhausting the budget never hides an exposed task. + +The external scheduler separately controls admission with a maximum number of claimed/running +tasks or equivalent I/O and CPU credits. The small-frontier policy uses that admission limit, not +the reactor's transition budget. Repeated bounded calls may therefore reveal all concrete work +while the scheduler still admits only as much execution as its queues can support. + +### Streamed output batches + +One root batch per morsel is a reduction, not the contract. A morsel is the scheduling and +ordering unit; its output should stream as ordered dense-prefix `ExecBatch` values while demand +fragments seal. The architecture's `PlanStep` already returns a vector of sealed prefixes, and +fragment sealing gives the experiment natural emission points. Streaming bounds retained output +memory, lets downstream consumers start before a morsel finishes, and makes time-to-first-batch +measurable. Under the streamed contract, `output` carries the prefixes sealed by this call and +`Retired` means the final prefix was emitted; the single-batch behavior remains the valid +degenerate stream. The pipeline executor implements the contract: `MorselPipeline` emits ordered +prefixes through a batch sink, one per chunk-boundary span shared by every projected field, and +releases each span's decoded chunks at emission. The reactor modes still emit one batch per +morsel. + +## Completion and external evaluation + +The scheduler reports task completion separately: + +```rust +fn complete(&mut self, completion: Completion) -> VortexResult<()>; +``` + +Workers do not mutate the reactor or slot store. A completion carries exactly one of the two +resolved value types back to the execution owner: + +```rust +struct Completion { + task: TaskId, + output: OutputSlot, + result: VortexResult, +} +``` + +The task table already records its inputs, output, owning node, and demand version, so the +completion protocol does not repeat semantic resource, conjunct, or node variants. The owner +validates the output kind, installs the value into its typed write-once slot, and marks dependants +dirty. Completion does not recursively drive the reactor. + +An array result stores its value and inseparable metadata in the array slot: + +```rust +struct ResolvedArray { + array: ArrayRef, + summary: ArraySummary, +} + +enum ArraySummary { + None, + BooleanMask(BooleanMaskSummary), +} + +struct BooleanMaskSummary { + len: usize, + true_count: usize, +} +``` + +`ResolvedValue::Array` contains `ResolvedArray`; it is still the array resolved-value kind, and no +task can name the summary separately. The task table declares the required summary shape. Every +predicate and demand-combination result must return a boolean-mask summary whose length agrees +with the array and whose count is in range. Like the array's values, the producer is responsible +for the summary's semantic correctness. The summary is correctness-bearing because empty sealing +uses it; it is not merely scheduling metadata. + +Task identifiers and demand versions let the reactor reject duplicate or mismatched completions. +Because demand versions within one morsel only shrink, a predicate array produced from any earlier +version is a superset of current demand and remains usable. Staleness is therefore confined to +duplicates, wrong-slot completions, revoked offers, and unwanted results from running +morsel-local tasks. + +Empty sealing and retirement revoke the morsel's offered tasks and emit `Revoke` updates. Running +morsel-local tasks are marked unwanted; their completions release their leases and install +nothing. One morsel never revokes shared resource work: a claimed read or decode completes into its +scan-owned slot, and the value is then classified pinned, reusable, or dead by its remaining users. +Input leases keep resources live even after their last morsel user disappears. + +The experiment includes a reference evaluator, but the reactor never calls it: + +```rust +fn evaluate( + task: RunnableTask, + segments: &InMemorySegments, +) -> VortexResult; +``` + +A complete driver remains external: + +```rust +loop { + let progress = execution.advance(morsel, 16)?; + + scheduler.apply(progress.work); + + while let Some(task) = scheduler.next_admissible() { + if let ClaimResult::Runnable(task) = execution.claim(task)? { + execution.complete(evaluate(task, &segments)?)?; + } + } + + if let Some(batch) = progress.output { + break batch; + } +} +``` + +Alternative schedulers can choose I/O-first, predicate-first, projection-prefetch, or concurrent +policies without changing the reactor. + +## Worked execution + +For `a > 10 AND b < 5`, projecting `[a, c]`, one possible trace is: + +```text +advance(morsel 0) + -> Read(a0, required) + -> Read(b0, required) + -> Read(c0, candidate) + +complete and decode a0 +advance(morsel 0) + -> Predicate(P0, demand=1111) + +complete P0(array=0101) +advance(morsel 0) + -> CombineDemand(1111, P0) + +complete combined demand +advance(morsel 0) + -> current demand=0101 + +complete and decode b0 +advance(morsel 0) + -> Predicate(P1, demand=0101) + +complete P1(array=0001) +advance(morsel 0) + -> CombineDemand(0101, P1) + +complete combined demand +advance(morsel 0) + -> sealed demand=0001 + -> Promote(Read(c0)), if the candidate read is still queued + -> SelectFlat(a0, demand=0001) + -> SelectFlat(c0, demand=0001), once c0 is decoded + +complete Flat outputs +advance(morsel 0) + -> PackStruct([a, c], demand=0001) + +complete Struct output +advance(morsel 0) + -> output one row + -> retire morsel 0 +``` + +If P1 ran earlier against `1111`, its result would remain valid and produce the same final +intersection. Morsel 1 can subsequently join resident `a0`, `b0`, and `c0` results without emitting +another read or decode. + +## Measurements + +The experiment exposes an event trace and metrics snapshot containing: + +```text +advance calls and cheap transitions +nodes and slots inspected per advance +initial, current, and per-conjunct demand rows +I/O and CPU tasks offered, claimed, promoted, revoked, and completed, including demand combinations +shared byte and decode reuse hits +resident bytes and decoded rows +pinned, reusable, and dead resource counts +Flat and Struct output tasks and arrays +maximum offered and claimed/running task frontiers +total graph nodes, slots, and explicit edges +useful and unused speculative I/O bytes +deterministic virtual critical-path time +``` + +The trace records demand refinement, resource joins, task emission, claims, promotion, +revocation, completion, sealing, output, retirement, and eviction. + +## Evaluation policies + +Run the same input through four small external schedulers: + +1. **Predicate-first:** prioritize the earliest unfinished conjunct. +2. **All-ready:** run every offered task before calling `advance` again. +3. **Projection-prefetch:** start projection I/O when the required queue is short. +4. **Small-frontier:** admit only a small number of claimed/running tasks while continuing bounded + planning to quiescence. + +All policies must produce identical rows and values. Their task counts, resident state, demand +reduction timing, and reuse rates may differ. + +## V1 optimized baseline + +After the control-plane experiment passes, compare it with the current optimized +[V1 `LayoutReader`](layout-reader-v1.md). This is a valid performance comparison only when both +paths consume the same serialized Vortex layout and segment source. The initial raw-`i64` toy +evaluator can establish semantics but cannot be timed fairly against V1. + +### Shared real fixture + +Construct one deterministic serialized fixture: + +```text +16 chunks +65,536 rows per chunk +1,048,576 rows total +Struct +one Flat segment per field per chunk +``` + +Generate `a` and `b` distributions that produce 1%, 50%, and 95% predicate selectivity. Both paths +receive the same: + +- stored layout and segment buffers; +- filter and projection expressions; +- row ranges and ordered-output requirement; +- runtime concurrency; +- segment-source wrapper; and +- source-cache settings. + +Executor-native decoded-array retention is recorded but is not forced to be identical. If V1 does +not provide such a cache, adding one in the harness would change the baseline rather than make it +fair. + +The self-paced evaluator must use real `BufferHandle` values, serialized-array decoding, and +Vortex `ArrayRef` operations for this stage. + +### V1 execution + +Run V1 through `ScanBuilder` with natural layout-chunk boundaries computed once from +`SourcePlan::chunks`. Pass them explicitly so `SplitBy::Layout` cannot silently subdivide wide +chunks. Morsels are an implementation choice of self-paced execution and are never imposed on V1: + +```rust +ScanBuilder::new(session, layout_reader) + .with_filter(filter) + .with_projection(projection) + .with_natural_splits(Arc::clone(&fixture.natural_splits)) + .with_concurrency(concurrency) + .into_array_stream() +``` + +Batch boundaries may still differ. Compare ordered logical output after concatenation rather than +requiring identical batches. + +### Comparison matrix + +Run each case through V1 and self-paced execution: + +| Case | Filter | Projection | Information gained | +| --- | --- | --- | --- | +| Unfiltered | none | `[a, c, d]` | Minimum self-paced control-plane tax | +| Filter fields projected | `a > x AND b < y` | `[a, b]` | Reuse when filter and output share decoded fields | +| Separate projection | `a > x AND b < y` | `[c, d]` | Late-materialization opportunity | +| Highly selective | `P0=1%, P1=50%` | `[c, d]` | Avoidable projection I/O and CPU | +| Medium selective | `P0=50%, P1=50%` | `[c, d]` | Balanced scheduling case | +| Non-selective | `P0=95%, P1=95%` | `[c, d]` | Projection-prefetch and concurrency opportunity | + +For every case, use: + +```text +morsel rows: 4,096; 16,384; 65,536; 131,072 +concurrency: 1; 4; 16 +``` + +This produces 54 configurations per executor before cache variants. + +### Cache variants + +Run each important configuration in three comparable source states: + +```text +cold + fresh LayoutReader or self-paced graph, empty segment cache + +warm structure + reader or plan structure reused, resolved segment and array values evicted + +warm source data + source BufferHandle values retained; executor-native decoded values follow each executor's + normal behavior +``` + +Also run both paths over a raw counting source and an equivalently shared/cached source. This +prevents either engine from winning only because it received a hidden cache unavailable to the +other. + +Run self-paced decoded-`ArrayRef` retention as a separate capability experiment. Report its gain, +resident memory, and avoided decodes relative to self-paced execution without decoded retention; +do not present it as a cache-parity V1 ratio unless V1 later gains an equivalent public facility. + +### Common instrumentation + +Wrap the shared source to record: + +```text +segment requests +unique segments +bytes returned +repeated requests +peak outstanding reads +``` + +For both engines record: + +```text +total wall time +time to first output batch +rows per second +output rows and stable output hash +segment requests and bytes +output batch count +``` + +Additionally record self-paced transitions, predicate rows evaluated, speculative bytes used and +wasted, decode reuse, and graph/resource memory.

The experiment is promising +only if its overhead is bounded and any selective, high-latency, or reuse win is explained by +measured avoided work rather than unequal caching or inputs. + +## Experiment summary + +The experiment compiles one restricted `Struct>` source and a conjunctive query into +two kinds of runtime state: + +```text +scan-wide resource graph + owns possible and joined users + retains segment handles and decoded arrays for possible reuse + +per-morsel operator graph + owns shrinking row demand + runs conjuncts + produces Flat, Struct, and Chunked ArrayRef values +``` + +The complete control and data flow is: + +```text +root morsel demand + -> Struct routes open demand to predicate and projection fields + -> each field's Chunked layout maps root rows to one or more Flat slices + -> Flat slices join canonical segment resources + -> advance exposes Read and DecodeFlat tasks + -> decoded arrays enable independent predicate tasks + -> predicate arrays feed CombineDemand tasks + -> resolved boolean arrays monotonically shrink demand + -> all conjuncts resolved, so demand seals + -> sealing promotes retained candidate offers to required + -> Flat selects projected values for sealed demand + -> Struct packs aligned field batches into a StructArray + -> root wraps its ArrayRef and row metadata in ExecBatch + -> morsel retires and releases resource joins +``` + +At no point does `advance` perform I/O or significant CPU work. It exposes immutable task tickets, +observes completed typed slots, performs bounded state transitions, and returns a batch only when +the root operator output slot is ready. + +The scheduler controls task order. It can evaluate conjuncts sequentially, run them concurrently, +or prefetch projection data. Correctness depends only on shrinking demand, stable task inputs, and +validated completions, not on a particular scheduling policy. + +## What the experiment should teach us + +The experiment is intended to answer these design questions with traces and measurements rather +than intuition: + +### Evidence matrix + +| Information wanted | How the experiment obtains it | Evidence and decision | +| --- | --- | --- | +| Whether two resolved types are sufficient | Assert that every task input and output names only a `SegmentSlot` or `ArraySlot`; implement demand as boolean arrays | Any need for another reusable fact type is recorded as a failed assumption rather than added silently | +| Whether results are correct under scheduler freedom | Run FIFO, reversed, randomized, predicate-first, all-ready, and projection-prefetch schedules against the same inputs | Compare root arrays and selections with a simple eager reference evaluator | +| Whether stale conjunct work is safe | Start predicates from the same broad demand, complete them in every order, and combine their arrays after other demand refinements | Every schedule must produce the same sealed boolean array; rejected results identify missing version or superset rules | +| Whether `advance` is bounded | Sweep chunk, morsel, field, and conjunct counts while recording visited nodes, transitions, and emitted tickets per call | Work per call must be bounded by the transition budget plus a small dirty-frontier overhead, not total graph size | +| Whether the graph is compact | Increase row count without changing segments, then increase segments and morsels independently | Slot and node counts should follow plans, canonical resources, and active frontiers rather than logical row count | +| Whether cross-morsel retention is useful | Vary morsels per chunk, activation order, and cache budget | Measure byte/decode reuse, rereads, retained-byte-morsel time, and peak resident state | +| Whether retirement proves death cheaply | Retire morsels in ordered and randomized sequences | A resource becomes dead exactly after its last possible user disappears, without scanning the whole graph | +| Whether speculative projection is worthwhile | Sweep predicate selectivity, I/O latency, CPU cost, and projection overlap | Compare output-ready virtual time, unused speculative bytes, avoided reads, and peak memory | +| Whether operators compose cleanly | Validate Flat arrays, Struct packing, Chunked coordinate translation, and the root result independently | Each node should depend only on child slots and declared row-domain metadata; query policy leakage is a design failure | +| How the model compares with optimized V1 | Run both over the same serialized layout, source, expressions, row splits, concurrency, and source-cache policy | Compare output hashes, time, first batch, I/O, reuse, and memory as self-paced/V1 ratios | + +Use deterministic virtual costs for the first scheduler comparisons. Each I/O and CPU task receives +a configured cost, so critical-path time can be compared without benchmark noise. Real timings are +not an objective until the model is connected to actual Vortex decoding and expressions. + +The input matrix should vary: + +- chunks and morsels per chunk; +- rows per morsel without changing the plan shape; +- conjunct count, selectivity, CPU cost, and completion order; +- projected fields that overlap or do not overlap predicate fields; +- segment I/O latency and decode cost; +- scheduler admission limit and reactor transition budget; and +- retained-resource memory budget. + +Every run records the event trace, metrics snapshot, root output, and final slot/resource states. +This makes each conclusion reproducible from a small fixture rather than inferred from wall-clock +time alone. + +The experiment should produce five review artifacts: + +1. a complete worked-query trace showing slots, demand versions, tasks, joins, and retirement; +2. a policy comparison table containing correctness, virtual time, work, reuse, waste, and memory; +3. a scaling table showing graph size and `advance` work as rows, morsels, chunks, and conjuncts + change; +4. the V1 ratio table with fixture and source-cache parity recorded; and +5. a short findings record that classifies every proposed invariant as supported, rejected, or + still untested. + +### Is `advance` actually cheap and bounded? + +Measure transitions and work tickets per call. A broad demand must remain a compact description, +and one call must not walk the complete plan or enumerate every possible future task. + +### Is shrinking demand enough to permit flexible scheduling? + +Run conjuncts in different orders and concurrently. Results must remain identical when predicate +tasks complete from older demand supersets. The trace should show whether demand versions and +superset validation are sufficient or whether additional dependency state is needed. + +### Is the resource/operator split correct? + +Shared segment handles and decoded arrays should survive when later morsels may reuse them. +Morsel-specific Flat selections and Struct arrays should retire with their morsel. This reveals +whether the proposed keys and ownership boundaries retain too much or prevent useful reuse. + +### Can possible future users drive useful lifetime decisions? + +After one morsel retires, a resource should be pinned, reusable, or dead without guessing. The +experiment should quantify how long conservative possible-user sets retain data and whether late +joins achieve enough reuse to justify that retention. + +### Are Chunked input and Struct output compositional? + +Chunked should only translate root ranges into ordered Flat slices. Struct should only route field +demand and pack aligned outputs. Flat should own the physical resource boundary. If query-specific +state leaks deeply into these nodes, the plan/executor boundary needs revision. + +### Does scheduler freedom improve the trade-off? + +Compare predicate-first and projection-prefetch policies. The useful result is not merely that +both work, but a measured difference in eliminated rows, avoidable I/O, reuse, latency-hiding, and +peak resident state. + +### What must change before production integration? + +The experiment should leave a short list of proven interfaces and failed assumptions. In +particular, it should tell us whether to preserve: + +- one owner and output slot per per-morsel execution node; +- one canonical resource node per reusable physical result; +- immutable task tickets and completion routing targets; +- open, shrinking, and sealed demand states; +- explicit coverage and selection on every returned batch; and +- bounded lazy task generation from `advance`. + +Only those parts demonstrated by the experiment should be carried into real `PlanRef`, +`SegmentSource`, `ArrayRef`, and `BoundExpression` execution. + +## What the experiment cannot establish + +The first seven phases validate control-plane semantics and compare deterministic scheduling +trade-offs; they cannot establish production throughput or latency. The V1 baseline phase adds +real serialized arrays and decoding, so it can establish a fair in-memory relative cost against +V1. It still does not reproduce object-store or NVMe behavior, general expression workloads, +allocator pressure at production scale, or a complete asynchronous scan runtime. It also cannot +validate late row-domain mappings for Dict, List, or ListView plans, and it exercises none of the +gate, multi-block demand, rescoring, or ownership-migration mechanisms recorded in the +[morsel reactor ideas](morsel-reactor-ideas.md). + +Those omissions are deliberate. A successful result means the interfaces and invariants are worth +testing in a complete scan; it does not mean the resulting implementation is already fast or +general. + +## Required tests + +The experiment should prove: + +1. Every task input and output is a segment slot or array slot. +2. `advance` performs no I/O, array evaluation, or demand-array intersection. +3. `CombineDemand` produces boolean arrays whose selected rows never grow. +4. Predicate completion order does not affect sealed demand or output. +5. Projection reads can be visible while demand is open. +6. Flat selection and Struct packing wait for sealed demand. +7. Flat, Struct, and Chunked each fill an array slot with correct coverage and row identity. +8. Later morsels reuse segments and decoded arrays from earlier morsels. +9. Per-morsel transformed arrays are not accidentally retained as scan-wide resources. +10. Retirement changes a resource from pinned to reusable and eventually dead. +11. Dead resource state is released. +12. Chunk-global and segment-local row mappings are correct. +13. The transition budget bounds transitions and newly emitted updates per call, while scheduler + admission independently bounds claimed/running work. +14. Graph size does not scale with logical row count when physical plan shape is unchanged. +15. Every scheduler policy produces the same output as the eager reference evaluator. +16. Failed, duplicate, and stale completions and claims of revoked offers cannot leave slots or + resource leases live. +17. A completed shared read or decode wakes every joined morsel exactly once and wakes no + unresolved morsel. +18. Sealing empty demand revokes unclaimed morsel offers and discards running morsel-local results + without cancelling shared in-flight work. +19. V1 and self-paced execution produce the same ordered output hash for every shared fixture. +20. Cold, warm-structure, and warm-source-data comparisons use equivalent source state; native + decoded-array retention is reported separately. +21. Claiming a task snapshots every resolved input and holds its leases until completion. +22. Promotion and revocation updates keep a retained external scheduler queue consistent with + demand changes. +23. Every boolean predicate and demand result carries the mandatory length and true-count summary + required for empty sealing. + +## Non-goals + +The first experiment does not provide: + +- a production `PlanVTable` execution interface; +- arbitrary nested layouts or bound expressions; +- nullable or non-`i64` values; +- asynchronous runtime integration; +- object-store or NVMe performance conclusions; +- memory admission or a sophisticated eviction policy; +- cross-file sharing; +- dependency gates for data-dependent reads; +- work rescoring: promotion and revocation are the only lifecycle updates; +- fallible predicate semantics; or +- the final output-stream and ordering contract. + +## Decision gate + +The experiment should precede production integration. It succeeds if: + +- the graph retains reusable state without eagerly constructing future tasks; +- segment and array slots are sufficient for all resolved work values; +- later morsels safely join existing resource nodes; +- demand and possible-user sets remain monotonic; +- retirement proves when results are dead; +- external scheduling policies preserve query results; +- `advance` cost is bounded and measurable, and scheduler admission bounds claimed/running + work; and +- the V1 comparison has identical output and attributes any difference to measured work, I/O, + reuse, or control-plane overhead. + +Concretely, the evidence must show: + +- zero output differences from the eager reference across all tested schedules; +- no task input or output outside the two typed slot arenas; +- no demand version whose selected row set is larger than its predecessor; +- no dropped resource with a joined or possible user, and no retained dead resource after cleanup; +- graph size unchanged when only logical row count grows without changing physical plan shape; +- no `advance` call emitting more work than its budget or visiting unrelated clean subtrees; +- no revoked offer that executes and no promotion that changes a task's identity or duplicates its + I/O; +- an explicit measured frontier where projection prefetch helps and where it wastes enough I/O or + memory to be rejected; and +- a V1 ratio table whose unfiltered case exposes the self-paced tax and whose selective or reuse + differences agree with the recorded I/O, decode, and retention metrics. + +If these properties require global rescans, demand growth, or scheduler-specific reactor behavior, +the model should be revised before replacing or extending production `PlanVTable` execution. diff --git a/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/self-paced-plan-exec-findings.md b/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/self-paced-plan-exec-findings.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..a59174bf5b1 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/self-paced-plan-exec-findings.md @@ -0,0 +1,1040 @@ +# Self-Paced Plan Execution Findings + +This report records what was learned while implementing and optimizing the restricted +[self-paced plan execution experiment](self-paced-plan-exec-experiment.md). It includes the +original 100-iteration comparison on 2026-08-21, a capacity-saturating FineWeb follow-up on +2026-08-22, and the coordinator-sharding follow-up on 2026-08-23. It is evidence about this +experiment, not a claim about a production executor. + +## Sharded coordinators (2026-08-23) + +Coordinator phase timing (`VORTEX_SELF_PACED_PHASE_TIMING=1`, new `coordinator_*` metrics) +answered the previous handover's P0 question directly. On full FineWeb Q06 the single coordinator +loop accounted for the entire ~58 ms self-paced run and was busy ~89% of it: advance ~19.5 ms +(fragment rescans and transitions), completion handling ~16 ms (including ~6.8 ms fragment mask +adoption), dispatch ~14 ms (claim, operation clones, spawn), and only ~6.3 ms waiting for +workers. Completed worker results waited on average ~17 us in the completion queue (~170 ms of +cumulative dwell against a 58 ms run), so workers were starved behind the coordinator, not the +reverse. + +Work-reduction micro-optimizations (allocation-free adoption counts via a fused and-count, +batched resource joins, batching all available fragment progress into one transition, skipping +the speculative necessity pass when speculation is disabled, an all-true `SelectStruct` early +exit) recovered only 2.53x -> 2.32x on this host. The structural fix was sharding: +`VORTEX_SELF_PACED_SHARDS=N` runs N coordinator threads, each owning a contiguous group of +morsels with its own `Execution`, sharing one 16-thread worker pool with a static per-shard +admission budget of `concurrency / N`. Morsel groups align with natural splits, so no segment +straddles a shard boundary in these fixtures: the sharded run issued the same 10,918 unique +segment requests and 714,536,112 bytes as the single-coordinator run, with every segment read +exactly once. Output row counts and ordered hashes are still validated before timing. + +Five-iteration medians on a 16-core, 30 GB host pinned to CPUs 0-15 (note: a smaller host than +the earlier reports; V1 medians here are correspondingly slower than the 2026-08-22 numbers): + +| Shards | FineWeb Q06 self-paced ms | Ratio vs V1 | +| ---: | ---: | ---: | +| 1 | 67.8 | 2.501 | +| 2 | 45.4 | 1.642 | +| 4 | 38.4 | 1.397 | +| 8 | 39.2 | 1.436 | + +With 4 shards across the suites (same fair merge-16 contract, 5 alternating iterations): + +- FineWeb Q00-Q08: ratios 1.115, 0.568, 0.728, 1.219, 0.995, 1.022, 1.415, 1.071, 1.127 — + geometric mean ~0.98, self-paced wins 3 of 9 with three near-ties. +- TPC-H SF10 lineitem (fresh duckdb dbgen Parquet, real natural splits from a regenerated + catalog with 458 spans, matching the earlier audit): Q6 0.683, Q1 0.881, V1-friendly 0.619 — + self-paced wins all three. +- ClickBench (20 files, 20,000,000 rows; the 30 GB host cannot hold the 100-file fixture, and + the regenerated 21-column catalog is coarser than the 105-column production files audited + earlier, so these are internally fair but not comparable to the 2026-08-22 table): self-paced + wins 15 of 16 shapes, geometric mean ~0.74; only the dashboard shape loses at 1.176. + +Two caveats keep this honest. First, sharding adds N coordinator threads on top of the 16-worker +pool, so the process briefly runs more runnable threads than V1's 16-worker runtime; admission is +still capped at 16 evaluation tasks. Second, per-shard `Execution` construction still builds the +full plan-wide resource table, and the remaining Q06 gap sits in per-shard dispatch (two +`Operation` clones and a `cached_predicates` Vec clone per claim) and that per-run init; +phase-sum evidence: with 4 shards the summed advance/dispatch/complete phases were ~29/22/18 ms +across shards while per-shard wall time was ~30 ms. + +### Owned coordination: no central coordinator at all + +`VORTEX_SELF_PACED_SHARD_MODE=owned` removes the coordinator/worker split entirely. Each of 16 +threads owns a contiguous morsel group and runs the single-threaded loop over it: the thread +coordinates its own fragments and evaluates every read, decode, predicate, and selection inline. +There is no worker pool, no completion channel, no dispatch, and no queue dwell; cross-thread +communication disappears because resources are deduplicated within the owning thread and morsel +groups end on natural splits. The thread total (16) now matches V1's worker count exactly, which +also resolves the pooled-mode thread-fairness caveat. + +This mode wins 25 of 28 workloads on the measurement host (five alternating iterations, +`taskset -c 0-15`): + +- FineWeb Q00-Q08: 0.639, 0.524, 0.552, 0.694, 0.621, 0.629, 0.792, 0.612, 0.674 — all nine + are wins, geometric mean ~0.63.

The scheduler knows exactly one trait, `MorselPipeline` (morsel range +in, `ExecBatch` out), so arbitrary execution nodes are added without scheduler changes; and the +shared per-morsel demand mask that gates every struct child is computed by a pluggable +`DemandPolicy` (`VORTEX_SELF_PACED_DEMAND=cascade|eager`). Alignment stopped being a +precondition: each field exposes chunks at its native boundaries and consumers cut them to root +row ranges (`overlapping_chunks`), so mutually unaligned children work — covered by a unit test +zipping fields chunked `[0,3,10)` against `[0,6,10)` byte-identically to an aligned reference. +Per-thread decoded-chunk caching preserves filter/projection decode sharing. The reactor's slot, +offer/claim, and fragment machinery does not exist in this mode. + +It is also the fastest executor measured (five iterations, same fair contract, cold-scan I/O +invariant enforced; physical I/O identical to the reactor, e.g. Q06 at 10,918 requests / +714,536,112 bytes): + +- FineWeb Q00-Q13: every shape wins, geometric mean ~0.32 — Q01 0.131, Q12 0.216, Q02 0.246, + Q09 0.271, Q06 0.414 (11.4 ms vs V1's 27.6 ms; the owned reactor measured 21.0 ms). +- TPC-H: Q1 0.537, V1-friendly 0.572, Q6 0.938 (29 two-million-row morsels leave a thread-tail + imbalance the reactor's finer pipelining hides; work stealing is the fix). +- ClickBench (20 files): 13 of 16 wins; the same three uneven-morsel losses (dashboard 1.06, + Q40 1.22, Q41 1.31). + +Cascade and eager demand differ by within-noise amounts on these shapes (Q06 0.414 vs 0.422, +Q09 0.271 vs 0.245, Q01 identical): the cascade's chunk-skipping pays off on empty or highly +selective shapes, eager avoids gating arithmetic on select-all shapes, and swapping them touches +nothing but the policy object. Executor totals: single coordinator 2.53x -> pooled shards 1.40x +-> owned 0.79x -> pipeline 0.41x on FineWeb Q06. + +The pipeline's row-domain handling was then formalized as an executor vtable rather than inline +arithmetic: every node relationship is a **down demand transform** plus **up mask/array +transforms** (`FieldDomain::push_demand` / `pull_mask` / `pull_array`), each modeled on the +layout's native metadata — `ConcatDomain` uses the chunk-offset prefix sums (binary search down, +ordered append up), the struct node's identity relationship shares one demand mask by refcount +and packs zero-copy, and a list node would implement the same two methods over its offsets +buffer. Demand policies and the projection gather now speak only to the vtable. Re-measured after +the refactor, the seam is effectively free because dispatch is per chunk, never per row: FineWeb +geometric mean ~0.34 versus ~0.32 (Q06 0.420 vs 0.414) and TPC-H unchanged (0.93/0.53/0.58). + +Three further changes completed the sweep. The suites were widened to 18 FineWeb shapes (adding +a score-band range predicate, a rare-flag filter projecting all fourteen fields, a two-range +conjunction, and a shared-and-deep shape as Q14-Q17) and 21 ClickBench shapes (adding wide +select-all, shared filter/projection, a five-conjunct chain, empty-result, and narrow-selective +as Q43-Q47). The pipeline scheduler switched from static contiguous morsel groups to threads +self-scheduling morsels off one shared atomic cursor (order restored by index), which eliminated +every few-morsel tail loss: ClickBench dashboard 1.06 -> 0.82, Q40 1.22 -> 0.67, Q41 1.31 -> +0.64, and FineWeb Q01 improved to 0.092. And the predicate kernel's dense-but-partial regime +(demand between one fifth and all rows) was switched from a per-row demand-consulting `map_cmp` +to two vectorized passes — full evaluation then AND — which is what made the five-conjunct +chains competitive under the cascade (ClickBench Q45 1.06 -> 0.95) without needing the eager +policy. After all three: every measured workload beats V1 — 18/18 FineWeb (geometric mean +~0.33), 3/3 TPC-H, 21/21 ClickBench (geometric mean ~0.6) — with the one structural remainder +being TPC-H Q6 at ~0.94, whose 29 two-million-row morsels bound the makespan at two serial +morsels per thread regardless of scheduling; finer intra-morsel parallelism would need the +merge-16 contract revisited. + +### Adaptive demand, wider suites, and the statpopgen small-data regime (2026-08-23) + +`AdaptiveDemand` (now the default; `VORTEX_SELF_PACED_DEMAND=cascade|eager` selects the +deterministic policies) orders conjuncts by observed survival, most selective first, learning +across morsels within a run. Output is unchanged — conjunction commutes and every mask is adopted +as a subset of the demand it was evaluated under — but the effect on the former weak spots is +direct: ClickBench dashboard 0.84 -> 0.71-0.77 and the five-conjunct chain Q45 0.89 -> 0.76, +with FineWeb unchanged at ~0.33 geometric mean. Because adaptive ordering legitimately skips +different chunks as its statistics improve, the harness's byte-exact/floor invariant is enforced +through the deterministic policies, which share the same read path. + +ClickBench gained Q48-Q51 (equality+flag, pure time window, three geometry ranges, region band + +flag): 0.48-0.59, all wins; the suite now spans 25 shapes, all won, geometric mean ~0.56. + +A statpopgen suite was added end to end: gnomAD chr21 VCF converted through vortex-bench's +data-gen (100k and 1M row variants), ten scalar columns (POS, QUAL milli-units, hashed ID/REF, +AN populations) as the i64 fixture, an audit mode producing its split catalog, and six +genomics-flavored shapes (region interval, quality threshold, well-genotyped region, wide +select-all, empty, shared population field). It exposed two real findings. First, the fixed +merge-16 roll-up collapses compact data (1M rows compress to 8 natural splits) into one morsel +and concurrency 1; the harness now targets ~2x the worker count +(`merge = clamp(splits/32, 1, 16)`), which leaves every large suite at merge 16 and slightly +improves ClickBench (per-file merge 4-5). Second, with parallelism restored, statpopgen's +sub-millisecond scans are the first genuine self-paced losses (three shapes at 2.2-2.7x, the +16-way shapes near parity): the pipeline carries ~100us of per-morsel fixed work (demand and +included-mask buffers, lazy filter setup, selection, pack) that a 0.5 ms scan cannot amortize — +confirmed thread-count-independent (1, 2, 4, and 8 threads within noise) after the scheduler +switched to a reused worker pool (per-run thread spawns were the first suspect and are now +eliminated). Reducing per-morsel constant cost is the open item for the tiny-scan regime; at +merge 16 (both engines at concurrency 1) the same shapes won at 0.12-0.34, so the executor's +fixed cost per *scan* remains far below V1's. + +A first round of per-morsel constant cuts followed: full-demand predicate evaluation no longer +allocates a per-morsel all-true mask (`evaluate_predicate_full`), `pull_mask` returns the single +part zero-copy when one segment tiles the morsel, and `pull_array` prices its coverage check from +the segments' already-computed demanded counts (no bit scan) and reuses the single segment's +demand slice as the filter mask. statpopgen 1M moved from three 2.2-3.4x losses to Q01 1.00, +Q04 0.77, Q03 0.91, with the remaining gather-heavy shapes at 1.7-1.8x — the residual is one +`Mask`/filter construction per field per morsel, which a struct-level single filter (valid when +all fields gather identical row sets, i.e. aligned chunks) would remove. The cuts also set new +bests on the large suites: FineWeb Q06 0.385 (10.8 ms), Q12 0.184, Q01 0.086. + +### Tiny-scan round 2: measurement discipline, shared masks, density-aware adaptive + +Three more findings on the statpopgen sub-millisecond regime. First, five-iteration medians are +unreliable at this scale: shapes swung 0.8-2.5x between identical runs; 100-iteration medians are +now the standard for sub-millisecond workloads, and under them most of the apparent losses shrank +(Q00 1.7 -> ~1.0-1.4 before any code change). Second, the per-morsel selection `Mask` is now +built once and shared by every projection field that gathers the whole range +(`FieldDomain::pull_array` takes the parent's shared mask), removing per-field +`Mask::from_buffer` scans. Third, the eager-policy experiment showed dense demand makes gating +cost more than it avoids (Q02, 87.7% survival: cascade 2.38 vs eager 1.31), so `AdaptiveDemand` +now switches per conjunct to full-evaluate-and-intersect when current demand density is >= 50%. +At 100 iterations the statpopgen suite stands at 0.96 / 1.00 / 2.62 / 0.52 / 0.85 / 1.02 — +five of six at or better than parity. Q02 remains open: it responds to the eager *policy* (1.31) +but not to the equivalent in-policy dense switch (2.62), an unexplained delta; a samply profile +of the workload is captured for the follow-up. Self-paced also reads half of V1's requests on +these shapes (Q00: 12 vs 24) via chunk skipping. + +### External oracle validation (2026-08-23) + +The harness's own correctness gates (V1-vs-self-paced hash equality, `run_eager` parity) share +the parquet ingestion and query construction, so a consistent bug there would be invisible to +them. Seventeen workloads were therefore checked against DuckDB running equivalent SQL over the +original source Parquet, replicating each fixture derivation (substring-contains flags, date +digit-folding, score truncation to ppm/milli units, byte lengths, decimal/date-to-i64 +conversion, hash-equality predicates by their defining strings): all seventeen output row counts +matched exactly — statpopgen 6/6 (84,350 / 0 / 877,404 / 1,000,000 / 0 / 959,526), TPC-H Q6 +1,139,264 and Q1 59,142,609, FineWeb Q01/Q02/Q04/Q05/Q06/Q07/Q10 (including hash-based language +equality at 11,898), ClickBench Q47 19,491 and Q01 331,750. The timed loop additionally asserts +every iteration's row count against its warmup for both engines. Remaining validation gaps: +oracle coverage is row counts rather than full values (value-level agreement rests on the +cross-engine ordered hash), and zero-row workloads compare only row counts. + +### I/O read patterns (2026-08-23) + +A per-request order dump (`VORTEX_SELF_PACED_IO_DUMP` in trace mode) recorded every segment +request's identity and size for both engines across all 42 workloads. Findings: + +- **V1 re-reads shared segments; the pipeline never does.** V1's worst cases read the same + segments twice or more: tpch_v1_friendly 916 requests / 960 MB versus the pipeline's 458 / + 480 MB (the filtered column is the projected column and V1 reads it once per role), TPC-H Q6 + 3,206 requests / 3.36 GB versus 1,832 / 1.92 GB, ClickBench Q00/Q01/Q07 exactly 2x. The + pipeline's per-thread decoded-chunk cache reads every segment at most once per thread, with at + most a handful of cross-thread boundary duplicates (Q45: one). +- **Demand skipping shows directly in bytes**: FineWeb Q16 297 MB vs V1's 505 MB, Q17 358 vs + 596 MB, Q12 (empty) 1,823 requests vs 7,292. +- **One byte regression**: ClickBench dashboard reads 637 MB vs V1's 558 MB despite fewer + requests — query-order predicate evaluation reads a wide early column where V1's plan prunes + with a cheaper one first. Predicate ordering by observed cost/selectivity (the old adaptive + policy, as a `DemandPolicy`) is the fix. +- **Request sizes are layout-bound**: FineWeb segments average 47-64 KB per request — far below + object-store sweet spots — while TPC-H/ClickBench run 0.5-1 MB. The serialized layout + interleaves fields by chunk, so a narrow projection's reads are strided and cannot coalesce; + wide scans are highly coalescible: merging file-adjacent requests would cut FineWeb Q15 from + 32,882 requests to 384 ranges (~86x) and averages a ~25% request reduction across workloads. +- **Arrival order is non-sequential in both engines** under 16-way parallelism (V1 up to 33% + adjacent arrivals in single-field phases, pipeline ~0% due to work stealing); fine for + concurrent object stores, worth a per-thread field-major sort if targeting spinning media. + +None of this changes wall time on the in-memory source (requests are refcount clones), so the +actionable items are recorded for the real-I/O phase: a ranged/multi-get `SegmentSource` API for +run coalescing, writer-side chunk sizing for FineWeb-like data, adaptive predicate ordering as a +demand policy, and a cross-thread once-cell for boundary chunks. + +Plan-time materialization of the cutting was built, measured, and removed. Eagerly compiling +per-morsel segment lists for every plan field regressed FineWeb from ~0.34 to ~0.39, and even +trimmed to query-touched fields it stayed ~0.36: that "compilation" was compute relocated onto a +serial pre-thread path, while runtime cutting costs ~100ns per segment distributed across all 16 +threads, and per-scan planning amortizes nothing. The lesson, kept as the module's design rule: +planning does no compute — building the pipeline wires topology (domains, touched fields, output +names), the scan computes its morsel splits once, and the struct node shares one refcounted +demand handle with every child; all remaining work happens at execution on the owning threads. +The final state re-measured at Q06 0.404 (11.6 ms), Q01 0.135, Q12 0.262. + +The harness now also enforces the no-caching contract per iteration instead of asserting it once: +every timed run's `CountingSource` totals are compared against its cold warmup. Self-paced totals +must match the warmup exactly (its required reads are deterministic; Q06 re-issued 10,918 +requests / 714,536,112 bytes on every iteration), and both engines must stay above the warmup's +unique-segment floor (one read of every distinct segment). V1 gets a 1% counting allowance below +the floor because it sometimes drops a duplicate in-flight segment future whose request was +counted but whose bytes never resolved — the observed undershoot is ~0.01%, while any real +cross-run caching would remove a large fraction of the floor and fail the run. On selective +queries the invariant also documents the honest I/O difference: on Q01 self-paced issues 5,101 +requests / 247.8 MB against V1's 37,905 requests / 257.7 MB with identical validated output. + +## Original headline result + +In the original comparison at 131,072 rows per self-paced morsel and concurrency 16, self-paced +execution won 15 of 28 scan workloads.

V1 receives those natural boundaries directly and never receives morsels. Both +paths reopen the same query-specific serialized file, whose edition permits only +`Struct>>`, and receive clones of the same materialized query object. The process +is pinned to CPUs 0-15 and both paths use concurrency 16 (or the morsel count when smaller). + +These are medians of ten alternating iterations over every locally available benchmark row. The +unweighted geometric mean of the 28 self-paced/V1 ratios is `1.176`; self-paced wins 6 of 28. + +| Workload | V1 ms | Self-paced ms | Ratio | +| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | +| ClickBench selective | 6.717 | 7.253 | 1.080 | +| ClickBench dashboard | 13.568 | 19.858 | 1.464 | +| ClickBench Q00 | 5.618 | 5.407 | 0.963 | +| ClickBench Q01 | 3.946 | 4.939 | 1.252 | +| ClickBench Q02 | 7.452 | 11.285 | 1.514 | +| ClickBench Q03 | 6.304 | 8.134 | 1.290 | +| ClickBench Q04 | 6.228 | 8.312 | 1.334 | +| ClickBench Q05 | 5.847 | 7.656 | 1.309 | +| ClickBench Q06 | 5.924 | 7.794 | 1.316 | +| ClickBench Q07 | 3.949 | 4.985 | 1.263 | +| ClickBench Q08 | 8.079 | 13.299 | 1.646 | +| ClickBench Q09 | 11.955 | 18.982 | 1.588 | +| ClickBench Q39 | 16.349 | 12.434 | 0.761 | +| ClickBench Q40 | 9.889 | 11.271 | 1.140 | +| ClickBench Q41 | 8.643 | 9.719 | 1.124 | +| ClickBench Q42 | 6.144 | 8.085 | 1.316 | +| TPC-H Q6 | 15.312 | 12.558 | 0.820 | +| TPC-H Q1 | 6.796 | 8.570 | 1.261 | +| TPC-H V1-friendly | 3.356 | 3.128 | 0.932 | +| FineWeb Q00 | 8.562 | 10.949 | 1.279 | +| FineWeb Q01 | 82.335 | 42.325 | 0.514 | +| FineWeb Q02 | 15.364 | 11.273 | 0.734 | +| FineWeb Q03 | 20.081 | 30.828 | 1.535 | +| FineWeb Q04 | 18.542 | 22.920 | 1.236 | +| FineWeb Q05 | 18.503 | 22.523 | 1.217 | +| FineWeb Q06 | 21.508 | 39.935 | 1.857 | +| FineWeb Q07 | 19.068 | 22.741 | 1.193 | +| FineWeb Q08 | 23.736 | 25.585 | 1.078 | + +The complete inputs are all 100 ClickBench shards (99,997,497 rows), TPC-H SF10 lineitem +(59,986,052 rows), and all 15 local FineWeb shards (14,868,862 rows). This remains a comparison of +restricted scan analogues rather than full SQL query runtimes. + +FineWeb Q06 explains the largest remaining regression. V1 and self-paced issue about 10.9k reads +and return about 714.7 MB each, but self-paced performs 11,386 scheduled operations, 22,903 state +transitions, and 23,827 node inspections. Polling fused `ReadDecodeFlat` work on the coordinator +made the ratio worse (`2.082`): a ready request also performs synchronous decode, so the attempted +fast path serialized work that needs to remain parallel. The next useful optimization boundary is +coarser multi-segment read/decode submission, not inline polling of the fused task. + +## Comparison contract + +The comparison is a scan comparison, not a like-for-like execution-model comparison: + +- V1 runs through `ScanBuilder::with_natural_splits` using the file's real natural layout + boundaries. It never receives a morsel size and never falls back to automatic layout splitting. +- Self-paced ranges merge 16 consecutive natural splits. A morsel can cross chunk boundaries and + is never smaller than a constituent natural split. +- Both paths use at most 16 workers, the same serialized Vortex layout, in-memory `SegmentSource`, + filter, projection, input rows, and warm fixture state. +- They do not use identical worker executors: V1 is driven by the 16-worker Tokio runtime, while + self-paced non-inline tasks use a shared futures thread pool behind the same concurrency cap. +- Each path gets a warm-up. Ten measured iterations alternate which executor runs first, and the + reported time is the median. +- Every warm-up compares output row count and a stable ordered hash before timings are accepted. +- Timed runs consume every output. Fixture construction and Parquet ingestion are outside timing. + +The original data sets were: + +- the first ten real ClickBench Parquet shards, converted to the experiment's supported `i64` + fields and totaling 10,000,000 rows; +- a deterministic 2,097,152-row TPC-H lineitem-shaped fixture; and +- one 1,046,615-row FineWeb Parquet sample converted to `i64` scan features. + +FineWeb ingestion can now scale beyond the default sample. `VORTEX_FINEWEB_PARQUET` accepts either +a Parquet file or a directory; directory inputs use every `.parquet` file in sorted order. +`VORTEX_FINEWEB_MAX_FILES` optionally caps that list for repeatable size sweeps. The runner prints +the resulting file, chunk, and row counts before execution. + +The complete-data runner also accepts `VORTEX_CLICKBENCH_MAX_FILES`; setting it to 100 consumes +every local ClickBench shard. `VORTEX_TPCH_LINEITEM_PARQUET` switches from the synthetic fixture +to a real lineitem Parquet table, converting decimal quantities and Arrow dates into the restricted +executor's `i64` domain. `clickbench_all`, `tpch_all`, and `fineweb_all` load only their selected +fixture and execute every scan shape in that suite. + +All nine FineWeb analogues can be selected without loading the unrelated fixtures: + +- `VORTEX_SELF_PACED_COMPARE_WORKLOAD=fineweb_q00` through `fineweb_q08`, or `fineweb_all`; +- `VORTEX_SELF_PACED_TRACE=fineweb-q00-128k` through `fineweb-q08-128k`; and +- `VORTEX_SELF_PACED_PROFILE=fineweb-q00-self-128k` or `fineweb-q00-v1-128k`, with any query ID. + +The ClickBench and FineWeb cases are scan-input analogues. They preserve useful filter and +projection shapes, but exclude aggregation, grouping, ordering, strings, and disjunction because +those are outside the restricted evaluator. They must not be reported as full query runtimes. + +## Historical fixed-128K results + +These values predate the fair natural-split contract and are retained only as optimization history. +They are median milliseconds over 100 alternating iterations. Ratios below one favor self-paced. + +| Workload | V1 ms | Self-paced ms | Ratio | +| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | +| ClickBench selective | 0.864 | 0.743 | 0.860 | +| ClickBench dashboard | 1.708 | 1.651 | 0.967 | +| ClickBench Q00 | 11.512 | 11.823 | 1.027 | +| ClickBench Q01 | 2.014 | 1.051 | 0.522 | +| ClickBench Q02 | 22.572 | 23.141 | 1.025 | +| ClickBench Q03 | 11.516 | 11.896 | 1.033 | +| ClickBench Q04 | 11.516 | 11.886 | 1.032 | +| ClickBench Q05 | 11.512 | 11.893 | 1.033 | +| ClickBench Q06 | 11.512 | 11.893 | 1.033 | +| ClickBench Q07 | 2.015 | 1.050 | 0.521 | +| ClickBench Q08 | 22.558 | 23.184 | 1.028 | +| ClickBench Q09 | 44.555 | 45.651 | 1.025 | +| ClickBench Q39 | 5.810 | 5.318 | 0.915 | +| ClickBench Q40 | 1.259 | 1.299 | 1.032 | +| ClickBench Q41 | 1.838 | 1.776 | 0.966 | +| ClickBench Q42 | 2.331 | 2.259 | 0.969 | +| TPC-H Q6 scan | 1.193 | 0.622 | 0.522 | +| TPC-H Q1 scan | 11.325 | 9.897 | 0.874 | +| TPC-H V1-friendly | 2.480 | 2.421 | 0.976 | +| FineWeb Q00 analogue | 1.303 | 1.604 | 1.231 | +| FineWeb Q01 analogue | 1.000 | 0.677 | 0.677 | +| FineWeb Q02 analogue | 0.363 | 0.293 | 0.806 | +| FineWeb Q03 analogue | 0.355 | 0.397 | 1.119 | +| FineWeb Q04 analogue | 0.704 | 0.413 | 0.587 | +| FineWeb Q05 analogue | 0.313 | 0.313 | 1.001 | +| FineWeb Q06 analogue | 0.366 | 0.448 | 1.226 | +| FineWeb Q07 analogue | 0.324 | 0.316 | 0.976 | +| FineWeb Q08 analogue | 0.194 | 0.128 | 0.659 | + +## Why self-paced can be faster + +The main advantage is different work, not a universally cheaper executor. + +Self-paced execution evaluates predicates against the current shrinking demand. Projection reads +and selection wait until demand seals, so empty or sparse morsels can avoid projection work. A +predicate result already contains false bits outside its input demand; when it was evaluated at the +current demand version, the executor adopts that result directly instead of intersecting the same +two masks again. + +Shared resources are interned by `SegmentId` and retained across possible morsel users. This can +turn repeated V1 requests into one self-paced request. The clearest measured example was +ClickBench Q42: + +| Metric | V1 | Self-paced | Change | +| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | +| Output rows | 558,105 | 558,105 | identical | +| Stable output hash | `0xe0d6122ac6c3572e` | `0xe0d6122ac6c3572e` | identical | +| Segment requests | 255 | 42 | 83.5% fewer | +| Unique segments | 36 | 42 | self-paced touched more distinct segments | +| Bytes returned | 1,296,016,200 | 336,004,200 | 74.1% fewer | + +This is why Q42 became competitive despite scheduler overhead: V1 repeatedly requested some +segments, while the scan-wide self-paced graph requested each of its 42 segments once. The result +also shows why unique-segment count alone is misleading; total requests and bytes explain the wall +time better. + +TPC-H Q6 is the strongest predicate-pipelining result. Five conjuncts progressively reduce demand +before the two projected fields are materialized, producing a `0.522` ratio. Q1, with one broad +predicate and four projected fields, still reaches `0.874`, while the deliberately simple +V1-friendly scan reaches `0.976`. That near-parity case is useful: it bounds the fixed experimental +tax when there is little scheduling opportunity. + +## Why self-paced can be slower + +When nearly every row and projected value is needed, self-paced has little work to avoid. It still +pays for execution construction, slots, offers, claims, completion messages, `advance` calls, +demand masks, selection, and Struct packing. ClickBench Q00, Q02-Q06, Q08, and Q09 expose this +cost: the final ratios cluster from `1.025` to `1.033`. + +The FineWeb traces separate I/O from control cost. Q03 read exactly 55 segments and 41,870,100 +bytes in both executors, yet self-paced was 11.9% slower. Q06 read exactly 66 segments and +50,244,120 bytes in both, yet self-paced was 22.6% slower. With equal logical I/O and absolute +times below half a millisecond, task dispatch, mask handling, and dependency waits dominate. + +The experiment does no statistics or metadata pruning. Both engines receive the same logical +filter, but their execution paths may request different segments due to late materialization, +native V1 splitting, and self-paced scan-wide retention. The counting source measures logical +requests and returned buffer bytes, not physical NVMe or object-store traffic. + +## Graph and control overhead + +The Q42 trace makes the size of the experimental control plane concrete: + +```text +10,000,000 input rows +50 scan-wide resource nodes +616 morsel-local slots +569 advance calls +1,308 transitions +1,800 node inspections +410 offered, claimed, and completed tasks +243 direct demand adoptions +472 adaptive waits +162 predicate reorders +``` + +The graph is sized by resources, morsels, fields, and conjuncts rather than by logical rows. +`advance` inspected about 3.2 nodes per call in this trace and remained bounded by the transition +budget. The cost is nevertheless material on short scans because every task still crosses offer, +claim, completion, wake-up, and slot-state machinery. + +The equal-I/O FineWeb traces show two different scheduler shapes: + +| Metric | FineWeb Q03 | FineWeb Q06 | +| --- | ---: | ---: | +| Advance calls | 133 | 130 | +| Transitions | 288 | 341 | +| Nodes inspected | 413 | 463 | +| Tasks completed | 166 | 193 | +| Inline demand combinations | 8 | 5 | +| Direct demand adoptions | 8 | 13 | +| No-op demand adoptions | 0 | 6 | +| Adaptive launches | 8 | 16 | +| Adaptive waits | 0 | 16 | +| Predicate reorders | 0 | 3 | + +Q06 has more predicate coordination without an I/O saving, matching its larger regression. This +is stronger evidence than attributing the result to mask intersection alone: only five explicit +combinations ran, and they ran inline. + +Early Samply captures did not symbolicate the benchmark binary reliably, including one report +with zero of 370 raw addresses resolved. The conclusions above therefore rely on median timings, +event traces, and operation counters rather than unresolved sampled stacks. + +## Morsel size + +The earlier 128K/65K sweep showed that larger morsels usually amortize per-morsel graphs, masks, +tasks, queue operations, and output batches. Fixed row counts were still the wrong final contract: +they ignored the storage layout and made it too easy to accidentally subdivide V1 work in the same +way. + +The final contract merges 16 consecutive natural splits for self-paced and leaves V1 at the +unmodified natural boundaries. ClickBench produces 100-110 morsels, TPC-H 29, and FineWeb 116-168, +so every final workload has enough morsels to use all 16 allowed cores. A smaller table may produce +fewer than 16 morsels; in that case the executor caps concurrency to the morsel count rather than +manufacturing smaller work units. + +Merge-16 is an experimental roll-up factor, not a production constant. Larger roll-ups reduce +control overhead but may reduce early output, increase masks and temporary arrays, or leave too few +independent morsels. + +Morsels partition the root row domain independently of storage chunks. The implemented layout is +`Struct>`; a morsel carries ordered Flat slices and may cross aligned field-chunk +boundaries. This avoids coupling scheduling granularity to physical chunking. + +## Adaptive predicate scheduling + +The adaptive policy supports both demand pipelining and parallel predicate execution. It records, +per conjunct, cumulative input rows, output rows, elapsed nanoseconds, and sample count from prior +completions. It then: + +1. ranks predicates by expected rows eliminated per nanosecond; +2. uses observed survival, falling back to priors of 10% for equality and 50% for inequalities; +3. computes a per-morsel supply window from global concurrency and morsel count; and +4. launches another predicate only when estimated parallel latency, including a 3 microsecond + launch cost, is lower than waiting and evaluating it on the expected survivors. + +This is adaptive across completed morsels, not clairvoyant within the first morsel. Unseen +predicates use priors, and the policy waits when it lacks observations for either the outstanding +or next predicate. Reordering and launch/wait counts are explicit metrics. + +Running predicates concurrently means they may capture different demand versions. Three cases +avoid unnecessary mask work: + +- a result computed from the current demand is adopted directly; +- a stale result whose true count equals its captured input count eliminated nothing and is a + no-op against any newer subset of that input; and +- only a stale result that eliminated rows needs an explicit `CombineDemand` intersection. + +`CombineDemand` runs inline because it is small, dependency-critical work. `PackStruct` also runs +inline for the current adaptive policy. These choices avoid thread-pool round trips while keeping +reads, decodes, predicates, and selections parallel. + +## Optimizations that mattered + +The implementation converged on several small fast paths rather than one broad special case: + +- reuse the materialized all-true initial demand by morsel length instead of allocating one per + morsel; +- use direct and no-op demand adoption to remove redundant mask intersections; +- leave candidate resource tasks dormant when their speculative I/O class is disabled; +- preserve query order for the first predicate, then adapt after a morsel observes real demand; +- execute all-true Struct and Flat selections inline while keeping sparse selection parallel; +- run dependency-critical mask combination and final Struct packing inline; +- wake only morsels recorded as waiting on a completed shared resource; +- retain and look up scan-wide resources directly by `SegmentId`; +- keep task inputs and leases in `SmallVec` storage for the common small arities; and +- retain the shared bit buffer in boolean summaries so resource-local range counts do not + canonicalize the mask again; +- cache selected-row counts by morsel-relative range, sharing one count across aligned fields; +- omit projection reads and `SelectFlat` inputs for physical resource slices with zero selected + rows, including when a morsel crosses chunk boundaries; and +- skip copying projected Flat values when demand is all true and one Flat slice covers the range; + and +- stop scheduler selection when the available executor capacity is filled instead of constructing + a full admissible frontier that the caller immediately truncates; +- traverse the adaptive ready frontier newest-first without allocating a reversed copy, allowing + newly unblocked decode, predicate, and selection work to pipeline ahead of old reads; and +- return lazy filtered projection views for partial masks instead of copying selected values into + eager compact buffers. + +All-true selection returns slices of decoded arrays. Partial selection now wraps those same slices +in Vortex's compact logical `FilterArray`, matching V1's output materialization behavior. + +The Q40-Q42 work showed that scheduler policy and fixed overhead interact. One optimization pass +reduced the 128K Q40, Q41, and Q42 times by 56.8%, 48.2%, and 18.2% respectively relative to the +preceding implementation. Subsequent fast paths brought the final ratios to `1.032`, `0.966`, and +`0.969`. The progression is evidence that the initial regression was mainly execution mechanics, +not an unavoidable cost of self-paced plans; the intermediate run does not isolate one causal +change. + +FineWeb Q01 exposed the resource-local projection issue. With speculation disabled, the old +morsel-wide nonempty check completed 50 segments and 39.6 MB. Range-aware projection completed 37 +segments and 29.2 MB, while V1 completed 30.8 MB. Ten-iteration self-paced time fell from about +2.46 ms to 2.21 ms. The remaining `2.11x` ratio is fixed scheduling cost on a roughly 1 ms V1 +query, rather than excess projection I/O. + +A subsequent control-plane pass made two costs directly visible. First, each projection field +walked the same partial demand mask. An intermediate implementation cached one immutable +selected-index buffer across fields, but complete-data Q1 showed that eagerly gathering values was +the wrong output contract regardless of index reuse. Lazy `FilterArray` views replaced that cache. +Second, the concurrent runner consumed one completion before returning to the reactor and +scheduler, even when many worker results were already queued. It now drains ready completions as a +batch before advancing morsels. + +The first two changes reduced 128K FineWeb Q01 from 2.214 ms to 0.927 ms and Q06 from 0.949 ms to +0.626 ms in 20-iteration follow-ups. A trace then exposed a remaining scheduler issue: with +speculative I/O disabled, 143 candidate projection reads were retained in the external offered +queue. Q01's scheduler considered 2,807 entries to admit 118 tasks, a `23.79x` ratio. Candidate +tasks now remain dormant in reactor state unless their speculative class is enabled; promotion to +required work inserts them into the runnable queue. The same trace after the fix considered 197 +entries for the same 118 admitted tasks, a `1.67x` ratio. Q01 reached 0.758 ms versus V1's 1.033 ms +(`0.734x`), and Q06 reached 0.576 ms versus V1's 0.373 ms (`1.545x`). + +The executor metrics now report scheduler passes, tasks considered and admitted, completion +batches, completions drained, and maximum batch size. The repository-local +`summarize_self_paced_trace.py` tool combines those totals with per-operation task latency, wait +time, and reactor work from an execution trace. This is the routine diagnostic layer. Samply +spans remain the next step when the report points to CPU cost inside a particular operation. + +The full SF10 trace exposed breadth-first launch waves despite full occupancy: the FIFO frontier +started with runs of 115 reads, 115 decodes, and 474 predicates, and emitted its first morsel at +25.9 ms of a 29.0 ms traced run. Adaptive newest-ready traversal reduced those initial runs to 16, +16, and 78 and emitted the first morsel at 2.0 ms. Every recorded wait still had 16 running tasks. +This removes the hidden wave behavior and dramatically improves time to first output, but total +throughput remains similar because all 4,584 tasks still execute. + +### FineWeb Q00 + +Q00 applies `int_score > -1` and projects one field. On the available data, all 1,046,615 rows +survive. With 128K morsels, eight output morsels cross eleven physical chunks. The original +single-slice all-true fast path therefore missed most morsels and copied their values into compact +buffers. `SelectFlat` now returns a zero-copy `ChunkedArray` of sliced Flat inputs when all-true +ranges form a complete partition of a morsel. For a one-field projection, selection also produces +the final Struct directly, removing eight separate `PackStruct` tasks. + +The comparison harness now hashes both outputs during its correctness warmup and excludes hashing +from timed iterations. This matters for zero-copy output: canonicalizing its chunked views for a +verification hash moved work outside the scan and previously obscured the executor improvement. +Over 100 alternating scan-only iterations, Q00 measured 0.164 ms in V1 and 0.207 ms self-paced, a +`1.260x` ratio and a 43 us absolute gap. The final trace has 60 tasks: 22 reads, 22 decodes, eight +predicates, and eight fused select/pack operations. It reports 60 scheduler considerations for 60 +admissions and no control-plane warning. The remaining gap is fixed orchestration over only eight +morsels, not mask combination, projection copying, excess I/O, or scheduler rescanning. +An attempted all-match predicate pre-scan regressed self-paced time to 0.230 ms: the existing +bitmap collector uses multiversioned vector code, while the optimistic pre-scan was scalar. That +fast path was removed. + +A 20-iteration scan-only sweep after the Q00 changes measured V1/self-paced ratios of `1.305`, +`0.838`, `1.452`, `1.517`, `1.428`, `1.338`, `1.688`, `1.365`, and `0.785` for Q00 through Q08. +The Q00 paths are gated to complete all-true partitions and single-field output, so they do not +add work to the multi-field filtered queries. Q02's trace completed only 56 tasks and spent a +95 us absolute gap mostly on fixed orchestration. Q06 completed 188 tasks: 66 reads, 66 decodes, +24 predicates, 24 selections, and eight packs. Its completion batches averaged 6.92 tasks and its +scheduler considered 1.34 tasks per admission; the remaining regression is task/reactor overhead, +not serialized completion handling or scheduler rescanning. + +## Historical natural-split baseline and projection fusion + +This section records intermediate results before the serialized merge-16 comparison above. + +The final comparison contract gives V1 only the 115 natural SF10 lineitem chunks and gives 128K +morsels only to self-paced. `SplitBy::Layout` is not a valid substitute because it silently +subdivides wide chunks. Under the corrected contract, the pre-optimization SF10 medians were +12.906/23.668 ms for Q6, 3.183/12.718 ms for Q1, and 2.203/4.443 ms for the V1-friendly shape +(V1/self-paced). + +Q6 initially created five predicate tasks for every one of 458 morsels. Two strict bounds read +shipdate and two read discount, so self-paced traversed each of those decoded fields and produced a +mask twice. Planning now intersects compatible predicates on the same field into one strict range +predicate. Predicate tasks fell from 2,290 to 1,374 and aggregate traced predicate latency fell +from about 286 ms to 129 ms. A 21-iteration full SF10 run measured 13.218 ms V1 and 13.073 ms +self-paced. + +Multi-field projection previously ran `SelectFlat` once per field and then packed the results. Q1 +therefore created 1,832 selection tasks plus 458 packs and applied the same almost-all-true mask +four times. `SelectStruct` now gathers aligned decoded field slices, packs one morsel-local Struct, +and applies the shared selection once. Q1's total task count fell from 3,898 to 2,066 and its full +SF10 self-paced median fell from 12.357 to 9.064 ms. It remains 2.79x slower than V1 because its +nearly non-selective single predicate and 458 morsels still pay substantially more fixed control +cost than 115 natural V1 tasks. + +The same projection fusion improved the complete 15-file FineWeb set without output mismatches. +Notable self-paced changes were Q03 7.220 to 6.401 ms, Q04/Q05/Q07 about 5.84 to 5.01 ms, Q06 +8.615 to 7.821 ms, and Q08 4.761 to 4.215 ms. FineWeb Q01 measured 5.640 ms V1 and 5.673 ms +self-paced. All configured ClickBench queries were also validated over all 100 shards; they remain +2.19x to 3.26x slower than natural-split V1, showing that fixed per-morsel orchestration is now the +larger cost for their mostly narrow scan shapes. + +Three experiments are worth retaining as evidence. Replacing resource-completion scans with +explicit waiter lists reduced completion wake candidates from roughly 421,000 to 7,048 on Q6 but +did not measurably change wall time; it remains as a bounded reverse-dependency lookup and exposed +metric. Moving worker tasks from the separate futures pool onto the Tokio session runtime regressed +Q6 by 7.1%, and sharing offered tasks through `Arc` regressed it by about 3%; both +runtime/task-representation experiments were reverted. + +Q1 also tested an adaptive dense-output lane. After eight predicate observations showed at least +90% survival, it constructed the exact lazy `FilterArray` and Struct output inline in the reactor +instead of offering `SelectStruct` to the worker pool. This preserved masks, I/O, cache behavior, +and 128K morsels, but regressed the 31-iteration SF10 Q1 median from about 9.0 ms to 10.489 ms +(roughly 16%). Slicing fields, assembling cross-resource chunks, and building the exact selection +mask are cheap enough to make worker-task overhead visible, but expensive enough to stall the +single reactor. The experiment was reverted. A viable dense path must retain parallel execution, +for example by submitting adjacent sealed dense morsels as one worker batch and distributing its +results back to the original morsel slots. + +A second experiment batched adjacent `SelectStruct` operations onto one worker submission after +the same dense-demand signal. It retained exact per-morsel masks and outputs, but did not improve +Q1 (about 9.588 ms versus 9.453 ms in the paired run, and 9.459 ms alone), so it was reverted. +Changing projection speculation from adaptive to eager was likewise neutral: Q1 measured about +9.005 ms adaptive and 9.107 ms eager. Neither worker submission count nor projection-read waiting +is therefore the dominant remaining Q1 cost. + +All authoritative comparisons are process-pinned with `taskset -c 0-15`, in addition to setting +execution concurrency to 16. Earlier runs without CPU affinity are retained only as diagnostics. +The original shared futures executor created 96 worker threads on this host even though admission +was capped at 16. The executor is now reused per configured concurrency and creates exactly 16 +workers for these comparisons. Under 16-core affinity this reduced SF10 Q1 from 9.454 to 9.288 ms +and improved the tested TPCH cases by roughly 1-3%, but the remaining Q1 gap to natural-split V1 is +still about 2.76x. + +The timed self-paced path also cloned the complete immutable `SourcePlan` on every execution, +including every chunk, serialized flat encoding context, field name, and range. Execution now +borrows the plan and copies only the resource state it must own; source-specific byte estimates are +filled into that new execution state. This does not retain decoded arrays, masks, or scan results. +In a 51-iteration, 16-core-pinned SF10 Q1 comparison, the retained old binary measured 9.511 ms +self-paced and 3.311 ms V1; the concurrency-sized pool plus borrowed plan measured 9.196 ms +self-paced and 3.287 ms V1, improving self-paced by 3.3% and the ratio from 2.873x to 2.797x. + +## Real-file split audit + +The restricted benchmark's earlier "natural" boundaries were the chunks of its hand-built +`Struct(Chunked(Flat))` fixture. They are not the physical splits produced by the default Vortex +writer. A raw `LayoutReader::register_splits` audit, performed before `SplitBy::Layout` can insert +its own 100K-row subdivisions, measured the actual written files. Morsels were formed by greedily +combining adjacent whole natural splits up to 131,072 rows and were never allowed to cut a split. + +- TPCH SF10 lineitem has 59,986,052 rows and 7,323 all-field physical splits. The Q1, Q6, and + single-quantity query masks each expose 458 natural spans of 86,148 to 131,072 rows, so they + produce 458 128K-target morsels. +- All 100 ClickBench files have 99,997,497 rows and 19,599 all-field physical splits. Most audited + query masks produce 800 morsels, eight per file, ranging from 79,993 to 131,072 rows. +- ClickBench Q01 and Q07 are exceptions. Their single `AdvEngineID` input exposes only two natural + spans per file, ranging from 473,209 to 524,288 rows. Preserving real splits produces 200 large + morsels, not 800 128K morsels. Fixed 128K row slicing would cut 600 physical spans across the + dataset and must not be described as natural-split rollup. +- Only one FineWeb Vortex file is currently written: `sample.vortex`, with 1,046,615 rows. Its nine + audited query masks produce eight morsels of 129,111 to 131,072 rows. The complete 15-file, + 14,868,862-row FineWeb results elsewhere in this document use the restricted Parquet-derived + fixture and are not evidence about the unwritten files' physical split distribution. + +Consequently, 128K is a target rather than an invariant when morsels preserve physical leaves. A +natural span wider than the target must remain one larger morsel. The previous fixed-row benchmark +still measures executor overhead, but it is not a real-layout end-to-end comparison. + +### Historical in-memory split-count rollup + +These results were later rejected because physical-file boundaries were applied to an unrelated +coarse in-memory layout. They remain here to document how the benchmark artifact was discovered. + +The follow-up replaced the row target with file-local split-count rollups. A self-paced morsel is +the complete row range covered by 16 or 32 adjacent query-visible natural splits; the final morsel +in each file takes the remainder. V1 receives every unmerged natural split. Both engines run with +`min(16, self_paced_morsel_count)` workers and the process is pinned with `taskset -c 0-15`. +Morsels may cross physical chunks within a file but never cross source files. + +The data was TPCH SF10 lineitem (59,986,052 rows), all 100 ClickBench shards (99,997,497 rows), and +all 15 FineWeb shards (14,868,862 rows). The previously missing 14 FineWeb Vortex files were +written with the default `WriteStrategyBuilder` before collecting their raw boundaries.

Self-paced wins every +TPCH and FineWeb case and 12 of 16 ClickBench shapes. ClickBench Q01, Q07, Q41, and Q42 remain +slower; Q42 is the largest regression at 1.73-1.77x. + +These timings isolate execution-grain effects using real default-writer boundary distributions, +but both engines still execute the restricted in-memory `Struct(Chunked(Flat))` fixture. They are +not compressed-file end-to-end I/O timings. + +## Architectural findings + +The experiment supports these decisions: + +- Keep the immutable source plan separate from mutable per-scan execution state. +- Keep reusable segment and decoded-array resources scan-wide, but demand and transformed arrays + morsel-local. +- Carry boolean length, true count, and a shared bit-buffer view with every resolved mask. + Scheduling and sealing can inspect whole-mask scalars and cache exact resource-range counts + without canonicalizing arrays. +- Make offers descriptive and claim them into immutable input snapshots with leases. Revocation + remains safe, and workers never access the mutable slot store. +- Transport promotion and revocation updates in addition to offers. An external scheduler can + retain an offer after its necessity changes. +- Track possible users, joined users, and task leases separately. They answer different lifetime + questions and allow retirement without a scan-wide graph walk. +- Bound `advance` by cheap transitions and expose work externally. Data-plane work does not belong + in the reactor transition loop. + +The experiment also revealed costs that should not automatically move into a production object: + +- `BTreeMap` and `BTreeSet` favor determinism and inspection over hot-path efficiency; +- extensive trace strings and metrics enlarge the execution object and add branches; +- a full materialized boolean demand remains necessary for the evaluator, although sharing the + all-true instance removes repeated initialization; and +- deduplicating only by `SegmentId` assumes a single segment source. A production key must include + source identity. + +These are acceptable at this highly restricted experiment boundary. They should be measured or +replaced before treating the module as production machinery. + +## Speculative I/O admission + +Unsealed reads are now visible to the scheduler as candidate work. Reads needed by the next +predicate, and projection reads after demand seals nonempty, are promoted to required work. The +scheduler independently configures predicate and projection candidates as disabled, eager, or +adaptive. Adaptive admission uses the current demand row count multiplied by observed or prior +survival rates for predicates that still have to run. + +Admission has a byte budget. File and in-memory segment sources report exact segment sizes when +they know them; wrappers forward the estimate. A source that cannot estimate a segment returns +`None`, and the scheduler charges the configured conservative unknown-read size. Setting that +charge to zero rejects unknown-size speculative reads. Required reads never consume the +speculative budget. + +The comparison benchmark accepts these controls: + +- `VORTEX_SELF_PACED_SPECULATIVE_IO=off|predicate|projection|adaptive|predicate-eager|projection-eager|eager` +- `VORTEX_SELF_PACED_SPECULATIVE_IO_MAX_BYTES`, defaulting to 64 MiB +- `VORTEX_SELF_PACED_SPECULATIVE_IO_UNKNOWN_BYTES`, defaulting to 8 MiB +- `VORTEX_SELF_PACED_SPECULATIVE_IO_MIN_ROWS`, defaulting to 1 row + +Metrics report candidate offers and admissions, known estimated bytes, unknown-size offers, +completed physical bytes, and the completed bytes later proved useful or wasted. Predicate and +projection offer counts are separate; a physical read used by both is counted once in byte +metrics. Trace output records each admitted read's phase, estimate, byte charge, current demand, +and expected surviving rows. + +A five-iteration FineWeb follow-up showed why admission must consider projection width and +selectivity, not merely whether expected output is nonzero. On Q06, all 37.1 MB admitted early +were eventually required. On Q01, only 9.6 MB of 19.2 MB admitted early became required; +self-paced returned 49.2 MB from the source versus V1's 30.8 MB. With the default one-row +threshold, adaptive read-ahead improved a few latency-hiding cases but regressed most of the +sub-millisecond suite. This is evidence for a cost/benefit admission score, not for enabling the +current adaptive default broadly. + +## Earlier serialized natural-split rollup comparison + +These measurements established the correct serialized-file contract but predate the final +executor optimizations. The fair complete-data merge-16 table near the top supersedes their +performance numbers. Merge-32 is retained here only as historical evidence for choosing 16. + +A later comparison replaced fixed 128K morsels with morsels formed by merging 16 or 32 consecutive +natural splits from the real benchmark Vortex files. The source catalogs contain 99,997,497 +ClickBench rows in 100 files, 59,986,052 SF10 lineitem rows, and 14,868,862 FineWeb rows in 15 +files. Split boundaries are query-specific unions over only the physical fields read by that query. +Merging restarts at every file boundary. + +One initially collected result was invalid. It applied boundaries from the production Vortex files +to an unrelated coarse in-memory layout. V1 then evaluated several exact splits against the same +coarse segment and repeatedly decoded it, while self-paced retained the segment scan-wide. That +artifact produced implausible 7-14x FineWeb gains. Those measurements are rejected. + +The corrected harness writes one complete Vortex byte buffer with a restricted +`Struct>>` strategy, freezes it, and reopens it through `vortex-file`. The writer +edition permits only `vortex.primitive` and `vortex.chunked`, the two physical array encodings a +Flat segment can contain after slicing these inputs. The strategy rejects nullable roots and every +field type other than non-nullable `i64`, so unsupported encodings and layout strategies cannot +silently enter the fixture. `SourcePlan::try_from_layout` independently validates the reopened +footer, including aligned field-chunk boundaries. A single-chunk field retains its `Chunked` +wrapper. + +Both executors scan the same reopened layout and `SegmentSource`, and the harness prints the exact +serialized byte length and a stable byte hash. Each comparison also materializes its query bundle +once and clones that same bundle into both execution paths. V1 receives every natural interval +unchanged. Self-paced alone receives unions of 16 or 32 intervals. Both are pinned with +`taskset -c 0-15`, use concurrency `min(16, morsel count)`, have speculative I/O disabled, validate +ordered output hashes before timing, and alternate execution order for 20 measured iterations. +Fixture construction, serialization, reopening, and rechunking are outside timing. + +At merge factor 16, self-paced won 3 of 28 workloads. Its unweighted geometric-mean time ratio was +`1.463`, or 46.3% slower overall: + +| Suite | Workloads | Self-paced wins | Geometric mean self-paced/V1 | +| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | +| ClickBench | 16 | 1 | 1.498 | +| TPC-H | 3 | 2 | 1.093 | +| FineWeb | 9 | 0 | 1.545 | +| Combined | 28 | 3 | 1.463 | + +At merge factor 32, self-paced won 2 of 28 and the combined geometric-mean ratio worsened to +`1.706`. The suite ratios were `1.504` for ClickBench, `1.328` for TPC-H, and `2.320` for FineWeb. + +TPC-H illustrates the useful tradeoff. Its 458 query-relevant natural intervals become 29 morsels +at merge 16 and 15 at merge 32. Merge 16 measured Q6 at `15.940/14.886 ms` (`0.934x`), Q1 at +`6.864/10.491 ms` (`1.528x`), and the V1-friendly scan at `3.519/3.225 ms` (`0.916x`). Merge 32 +caps both engines to 15-way concurrency and regresses Q6 to `1.155x` and Q1 to `2.174x`; reducing +control units did not compensate for lost parallelism and larger cross-chunk assembly work. + +ClickBench usually has fewer than 16 relevant intervals per file, so both merge factors stop at one +morsel per file. Merge 16 is effectively tied on Q00 (`0.997x`) and slower on the other 15 shapes. +The largest ratios are Q39 `1.756x`, Q40 `2.315x`, Q41 `2.395x`, and Q42 `2.113x`. For Q39 and +Q40 only, merge 32 reduces 110 morsels to 100 and makes both slower (`1.872x` and `2.449x`). + +FineWeb has 1,823 or 2,527 query-relevant natural intervals. Merge 16 creates 116 or 168 morsels +and ranges from `1.036x` on Q02 to `2.460x` on Q06. Merge 32 creates 59 or 86 morsels but is slower +on every query, ranging from `1.587x` to `4.294x`. In this restricted executor, fewer larger morsels +increase the number of physical resource slices assembled by each task and reduce opportunities to +schedule independent morsels. Natural-split rollup therefore needs a byte/work-aware target; a +fixed count of 32 is not a generally better aggregation policy. + +## Segment-streamed predicate demand + +Adaptive execution now subdivides each outer morsel into demand fragments at the serialized +`Struct(Chunked(Flat))` chunk boundaries. The outer morsel remains the scheduling and output unit; +fragments are internal mask state and do not change the fair merge-16 contract. Each fragment +starts with an all-true demand mask and advances through its predicates independently, while +different fragments can run concurrently. + +The read/decode task fuses only the predicate currently requested by a fragment and captures that +fragment's current demand. After I/O, predicate evaluation visits only demanded rows and completion +adopts the result immediately. A selective result therefore exposes the next predicate or +projection read for that segment without waiting for sibling fragments or a complete outer-morsel +mask. A partial cached predicate records exactly which rows it evaluated; later resource reuse is +allowed only when that coverage contains every newly demanded row. Otherwise the decoded array is +reused by a normal predicate task. After every fragment seals, one `MergeDemandFragments` +operation concatenates their masks in row order; normal projection selection then consumes this +single outer-morsel mask. + +Resources remain keyed and deduplicated by `SegmentId`. A resource used by both filter and +projection has one read/decode slot, and the projection consumes that same decoded array. Metrics +now report predicate-only, projection-only, and shared resources and bytes, shared decode reuse, +projection reuse of predicate decodes, fragment counts and updates, early projection unblocks, +fused predicates and cache hits, and nanoseconds spent evaluating fused predicates, adopting +fragment masks, and merging the final masks. + +On full 15-file FineWeb Q06, pinned to CPUs 0-15, the streamed completion path read 714,536,112 +bytes in 10,918 unique segment requests, versus V1's 714,601,752 bytes in 10,931 requests. It +executed 5,461 fused segment predicates across 1,823 fragments and 116 outer morsels. Moving mask +adoption into resource completion reduced reactor transitions from about 33,242 in the first +fragment implementation to 22,320, slightly below the earlier morsel-wide executor's roughly +22,903 transitions. The first three-iteration full-data check nevertheless measured V1 at 21.708 +ms and self-paced at 47.708 ms (`2.198x`). Its trace attributed 18.83 ms of aggregate worker CPU to +fused predicate evaluation, 5.23 ms to fragment-demand adoption, and only 0.57 ms to the outside +mask merge. Of 5,461 adoptions, 2,796 did not reduce demand; avoiding `BoolArray` materialization +for those no-ops improved a five-iteration rerun to 22.472 ms for V1 and 46.127 ms for self-paced +(`2.053x`). The remaining Q06 gap is therefore not explained by extra physical I/O, additional +fragment-notification transitions, or the final merge. Segment-granular predicate and mask CPU is +the next optimization target. + +A subsequent demand-aware experiment passed the reduced fragment mask into each fused predicate. +On Q06, 3,638 later predicate applications received only 24,957 demanded rows and skipped +29,689,351 row applications. Aggregate predicate CPU fell from about 18.8 ms to 10.9 ms. Despite +that useful work reduction, the final five-iteration comparison measured V1 at 22.240 ms and +self-paced at 48.695 ms (`2.190x`), slower than the all-row fused version. The saved worker CPU did +not shorten the critical path enough to offset mask publication and serialized orchestration. + +This is primarily a plan-execution ownership issue, not predicate semantics that belong in the +global scheduler. `Execution` represents fragment demand, resource dependencies, cache coverage, +and readiness. The scheduler should admit any ready task subject to CPU, I/O, and byte budgets. +Today `run_self_paced_concurrent` keeps the complete mutable `Execution` on one async coordinator: +that one loop drains completions, advances every morsel, chooses tasks, claims work, adopts masks, +and queues outputs. The worker pool only evaluates claimed tasks. This made resource deduplication, +leases, cancellation, and tracing deterministic without locks, but it also serializes thousands of +small state transitions. A production design should shard plan execution by morsel (or a small +group of morsels), publish resource completions to the owning shards, and retain only admission and +global byte accounting in the shared scheduler. + +The [implementation handover](self-paced-plan-exec-handover.md) records the exact current state and +next work. The [experimental learning ledger](self-paced-plan-exec-learnings.md) preserves less +certain observations and hypotheses separately from the measured findings in this report. + +## What remains unknown + +The current results do not establish performance for compressed production encodings, unaligned +field chunks, nullable or non-`i64` arrays, arbitrary expressions, dynamic filters, object-store +latency, realistic byte-budget backpressure, stealing, or multi-source segment identity. They also +do not measure time to first batch or peak memory in the final real-data sweep. + +The next useful experiment is a production-shaped scan prototype that preserves the proven +contracts while replacing deterministic maps, trace strings, and fixed experiment operations with +the real plan and scheduler interfaces. Its gate should include equal output, physical I/O, +first-batch latency, peak resident memory, and CPU occupancy, with 128K retained as one point in a +morsel-size sweep rather than a default. diff --git a/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/self-paced-plan-exec-handover.md b/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/self-paced-plan-exec-handover.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..d48162e441b --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/self-paced-plan-exec-handover.md @@ -0,0 +1,325 @@ +# Self-Paced Plan Execution Handover + +This document is the implementation handover for the restricted self-paced plan execution +experiment on branch `ji/self-paced-fair-natural-splits`.

A + stable row count and ordered hash are checked before a timing is accepted. +- Both are capped at concurrency 16 and the process is pinned to CPUs 0-15. If fewer than 16 + self-paced morsels exist, self-paced concurrency is capped to its morsel count and the result + must call that out. +- Fixture construction and Parquet ingestion are outside the timed region. Timed runs consume all + output and alternate executor order. + +For the final FineWeb Q06 run, all 15 local Parquet files produced 14,868,862 rows, 157 ingestion +chunks, 1,823 natural splits, and 116 merge-16 self-paced morsels. Both sides therefore had enough +independent work to occupy 16 workers. + +## Implementation map + +The experimental implementation is concentrated in these files: + +- `vortex-layout/src/plan/exec/model.rs` defines operations, completions, cached predicate + coverage, policies, metrics, and trace events. +- `vortex-layout/src/plan/exec/graph.rs` defines shared resource nodes and their predicate and + projection consumers. +- `vortex-layout/src/plan/exec/reactor.rs` owns the mutable execution graph, fragment state, + resource deduplication, task readiness, completion adoption, and metrics. +- `vortex-layout/src/plan/exec/evaluate.rs` performs reads, flat decoding, sparse predicate + evaluation, selection, packing, and final fragment-mask concatenation. +- `vortex-layout/src/plan/exec/baseline.rs` is the concurrent driver. It owns one `Execution`, + admits tasks, runs inline operations, and sends other operations to the worker pool. +- `vortex-layout/src/plan/exec/tests.rs` checks result parity, fragment streaming, reduced demand, + empty demand, sharing, scheduling, and trace behavior. +- `vortex-file/benches/self_paced_vs_v1.rs` builds the serialized fixtures, enforces the comparison + contract, runs the suites, and prints traces and metrics. +- `vortex-layout/src/plan/exec/baseline.rs` also owns the sharded runner + (`run_self_paced_sharded`, `VORTEX_SELF_PACED_SHARDS=N`): N coordinator threads over contiguous + morsel groups, one shared worker pool, static per-shard admission `concurrency / N`. +- `VORTEX_SELF_PACED_SHARD_MODE=owned` is the best-performing mode: 16 threads (matching the + concurrency budget) each run `run_self_paced_single` over their own morsel group, coordinating + and evaluating inline with no pool, no channel, and no dispatch. It wins 25 of 28 workloads on + the measurement host and is the recommended configuration for further work. +- The harness enforces a per-iteration no-caching invariant (`assert_cold_scan_io`): self-paced + I/O must equal its cold warmup exactly, and both engines must re-read at least the warmup's + unique-segment floor (V1 gets a 1% counting allowance for dropped duplicate in-flight reads). +- `vortex-layout/src/plan/exec/pipeline.rs` (`VORTEX_SELF_PACED_SHARD_MODE=pipeline`) is the + extensible successor and the fastest mode: the scheduler sees only `dyn MorselPipeline`, demand + compute is a pluggable `DemandPolicy` (`VORTEX_SELF_PACED_DEMAND=cascade|eager`), children may + have arbitrary unaligned chunk boundaries (root-row-space cutting via `overlapping_chunks`), + and a per-thread decoded-chunk cache preserves filter/projection sharing. FineWeb geometric + mean ~0.32 versus V1; remaining weak spots are thread-tail imbalance on few-morsel workloads + (TPC-H Q6 0.94, ClickBench Q40/Q41) — work stealing is the next fix. +- Coordinator phase timing (`VORTEX_SELF_PACED_PHASE_TIMING=1`) fills the `coordinator_*` and + `completion_queue_dwell_*` metrics and the harness prints a `phase_timing` line per self-paced + run. Keep it off for reported comparisons. +- `vortex-file/examples/fineweb_split_audit.rs` regenerates the physical split catalogs + (`VORTEX_SPLIT_AUDIT_MODE=fineweb|tpch|clickbench`); the FineWeb and TPC-H catalogs reproduce + the previously documented split counts (1,823/2,527 and 458), the ClickBench one does not + (21-column audit files versus the 105-column production files). + +## Execution flow + +Each outer self-paced morsel is split internally at serialized chunk boundaries. These fragments +are mask-progress units, not new output morsels. + +1. A fragment begins with logical all-true demand and the first predicate conjunct. +2. The plan executor attaches that conjunct and the current demand coverage to the fragment's + segment read/decode task. +3. A worker reads and decodes the segment, then evaluates that predicate only for demanded rows. +4. Completion returns the decoded array plus a cached predicate value, its evaluated-row bitmap, + input true count, and evaluation time. +5. The coordinator adopts the result directly into every waiter whose captured coverage is valid. + A later waiter may reuse it only if its current demand is a subset of the evaluated coverage. +6. Reduced fragment demand can unblock the next predicate or projection segment before sibling + fragments finish. Fragments of one morsel may progress independently and in parallel. +7. Once all fragments seal, `MergeDemandFragments` concatenates their bit buffers in row order. + Projection selection consumes that single outer-morsel mask and preserves the output contract. + +`SegmentId` is the current physical resource identity. One resource node can have predicate and +projection consumers, and the decoded array is reused when both refer to that resource. This is an +accepted experiment restriction: a production identity will also need source/layout context. + +## Scheduler ownership + +Fragment masks, predicate dependencies, cache coverage, and readiness belong to plan execution. +The scheduler should only decide which ready work to admit under CPU, I/O, concurrency, and byte +budgets. It should not interpret or combine row masks. + +The experiment currently has one orchestration thread because `run_self_paced_concurrent` owns one +mutable `Execution`. Its loop drains completions, advances morsels, discovers ready tasks, claims +them, performs inline transitions, and queues outputs. Only claimed evaluation work is parallel. +This avoided locks and made leases, deduplication, cancellation, and traces deterministic, but it +places thousands of small transitions and bitmap publications on one critical path. + +A likely production direction is to shard plan execution by morsel or small morsel groups. Resource +completion events would be published to the owning shards; a shared scheduler would retain global +admission and byte accounting. Cross-shard segment deduplication needs an explicit resource owner +or concurrent registry rather than accidental coordinator serialization. + +## Metrics added + +The trace separates physical work from execution machinery: + +| Group | Important metrics | Meaning | +| --- | --- | --- | +| I/O | `requests`, `unique_segments`, `bytes` | Physical segment requests and returned bytes | +| Sharing | `shared_resources`, `shared_read_bytes`, `shared_decode_reuse_hits` | Filter/projection resource overlap and reuse | +| Graph | `transitions`, `nodes_inspected`, `tasks_*` | Coordinator and scheduling work | +| Fragments | `demand_fragments`, `fragment_predicates_completed`, `fragment_demand_updates` | Progressive mask state | +| Unblocking | `fragment_projection_reads_unblocked` | Projection work exposed before the outer mask seals | +| Fused work | `segment_predicates_fused`, `fragment_cached_predicate_hits` | Predicate work completed with read/decode and then adopted | +| Reduced demand | `reduced_demand_predicates`, `reduced_demand_input_rows`, `reduced_demand_skipped_rows` | Sparse predicate applications and avoided row visits | +| CPU estimates | `segment_predicate_eval_ns`, `fragment_demand_adoption_ns`, `fragment_merge_elapsed_ns` | Aggregate measured operation time, not wall time | + +Q06 uses disjoint filter and projection fields, so its sharing metrics correctly remain zero. Other +tests and query shapes demonstrate reuse when a field appears in both. + +## Final measured state + +Owned coordination (16 self-coordinating threads, `VORTEX_SELF_PACED_SHARD_MODE=owned`) on a +16-core, 30 GB host wins 25 of 28 workloads: FineWeb 9/9 (geometric mean ~0.63, Q06 at `0.79`), +TPC-H 3/3 (0.56-0.69), ClickBench 13/16 (~0.75; losses are dashboard/Q40 at 1.07 and Q41 at +1.23). The intermediate pooled-shard results (4 shards, `1.40x` on Q06, down from `2.50x` +single-coordinator on this host) are retained in the findings report along with I/O parity +evidence and caveats. + +The earlier single-coordinator five-iteration FineWeb Q06 comparison (2026-08-22 host) was: + +| Executor | Median | +| --- | ---: | +| V1 natural splits | 22.240 ms | +| Self-paced merge-16 | 48.695 ms | +| Self-paced/V1 | 2.190x | + +The last detailed trace had nearly equal physical work: self-paced issued 10,918 unique requests +and returned 714,536,112 bytes, compared with about 10,931 V1 requests and 714.6 MB. Self-paced +performed 5,461 fused segment predicates over 1,823 fragments and 116 morsels. Of the later +predicate applications, 3,638 used reduced demand: they evaluated 24,957 requested rows and +skipped 29,689,351 row applications. Aggregate predicate CPU fell from about 18.8 ms in the +all-row fused version to about 10.9 ms. + +That work reduction did not improve wall time. The demand-aware path still publishes and adopts +thousands of partial masks through the single coordinator. The outside mask merge was only about +0.57 ms, so optimizing final concatenation alone is unlikely to close the gap. + +## Experiment history + +The progression on full FineWeb Q06 is useful when deciding what not to repeat: + +| Variant | Approximate self-paced/V1 | Result | +| --- | ---: | --- | +| Per-fragment CPU predicate tasks | 2.299x | Correct streaming, too many tiny tasks | +| All predicates fused into read/decode | 2.105x | Fewer tasks, but evaluates rows later masks reject | +| Completion-side adoption | 2.047x best sample | Removed a redundant transition class | +| Separate sparse CPU task after decode | 2.431x | Saved predicate work but restored task overhead | +| Fused sparse predicate with per-bit demand assembly | 2.922x | Coordinator bitmap construction dominated | +| Byte-copy demand assembly | 2.212x sample | Recovered most of the per-bit regression | +| Final coverage-safe demand-aware path | 2.190x | Less predicate CPU, orchestration still dominates | + +Trace collection perturbs short timings. Use traces to explain task and byte counts, and use +non-traced alternating runs for performance comparisons. + +## Priority work + +### Done: coordinator cost established and sharding prototyped + +Phase timing showed the single coordinator busy ~89% of the Q06 run (advance 34%, completion +handling 28%, dispatch 24%) with workers starving behind it (~17 us average completion dwell). +Two and four shard prototypes reduced Q06 from 2.50x to 1.64x and 1.40x on the measurement host; +eight shards regressed slightly (admission 2 per shard). Batching fragment transitions, batching +resource joins, allocation-free adoption counts, and the speculative-pass skip were worth only +~8% combined: work reduction does not shorten a serialized critical path. + +### Done: owned coordination removed the coordinator entirely + +Sixteen threads each own a morsel group and both coordinate and evaluate inline +(`run_self_paced_single` per thread). No pool, channel, dispatch, or dwell remains; thread count +matches V1's 16 workers. This flipped 25 of 28 workloads to self-paced wins, including every +FineWeb and TPC-H shape. + +### P0: harden owned mode + +- Work stealing or dynamic morsel assignment: a thread that finishes its group idles while + stragglers run; ClickBench Q40/Q41/dashboard (the three remaining losses) have few, uneven + morsels per thread. +- Build per-thread `Execution` state from only the chunks overlapping the owned rows; every + thread still pays the full plan-wide resource table inside the timed region. +- Cross-thread resource sharing is currently only avoided because morsel groups end on natural + splits; segments spanning group boundaries in general layouts need an explicit shared resource + registry (or acceptance of bounded duplicate reads). +- Blocking reads are acceptable for the in-memory source only.

Never treat a partially evaluated predicate as a full-segment cache. +- Extend fragment tests across empty masks, nullability, multiple chunks, and resources spanning + more than one outer morsel before broadening supported layouts. + +### P1: stream morsel output (pipeline done; reactor and measurement remaining) + +- Done in the pipeline: `MorselPipeline::execute` takes a batch sink and emits ordered + dense-prefix `ExecBatch` values, one per chunk-boundary span shared by every projected field. + Each span's decoded chunks are released at emission and the scheduler clears the per-thread + cache between morsels, so executor-retained decoded memory is bounded by the working set + instead of growing with the scan. The hash gates are boundary-insensitive, so parity checks + are unchanged; batch order is restored by (morsel, emission) index. +- Remaining: the reactor's `AdvanceResult` returns the prefixes sealed by that call (`Retired` + meaning the final prefix was emitted; its single batch remains the valid degenerate stream), + and the harness starts measuring time-to-first-batch and peak retained output — both currently + unmeasured. +- Streaming complements, but does not replace, the Q6 makespan work: downstream consumers + overlap with a morsel's tail instead of waiting on whole-morsel batches, while intra-morsel + parallelism still governs the scan's own critical path. + +### P1: reduce mask machinery + +- Represent unresolved demand as bit buffers and versions in execution state.

Internal fragments recover chunk-aligned progress without + changing the outer output unit. **Confidence: high.** Tests exercise cross-boundary morsels. + +6. **A morsel is never smaller than a constituent natural split under merge-16.** It is the union + of up to 16 consecutive splits, with a shorter final rollup. **Confidence: high.** This follows + from the range construction and is asserted by the harness. + +7. **A fixed split-count rollup is only a starting point.** Sixteen merged splits supplied enough + Q06 morsels for 16 cores; 32 can reduce parallelism, while variable split byte sizes make either + count a poor proxy for work. **Confidence: medium.** A byte/work-aware target still needs tests. + +8. **Exact serialization matters.** Both executors must reopen the same bytes and query rather than + compare separately constructed in-memory layouts. **Confidence: high.** The fixture reports its + byte length and stable hash. + +9. **The current result applies only to `Struct(Chunked(Flat))`.** Other layouts, compression, + nullability, and general expressions can change both I/O and CPU behavior. **Confidence: high.** + The experimental layout strategy rejects unsupported plans. + +## Demand and predicates + +10. **Whole-morsel mask sealing prevents the intended pipeline.** A later predicate cannot start + for an early segment if it waits for a complete outer mask. **Confidence: high.** Fragment state + was required to expose the next conjunct before sibling chunks completed. + +11. **The next predicate can run once its fragment's preceding demand is known.** It need not wait + for unrelated fragments, and sibling fragments can run in parallel. **Confidence: high.** The + fragment-streaming test observes this ordering. + +12. **This dependency is plan-execution state, not scheduler semantics.** Plan execution knows row + masks, cache coverage, and expression dependencies;

expected savings versus dependency wait should decide + whether another predicate waits or runs concurrently. **Confidence: medium.** The adaptive cost + model is not yet implemented. + +16. **Feedback becomes useful only after observations exist.** The first fragment or first scan + needs static estimates or query order; later fragments can use observed true counts and elapsed + predicate time. **Confidence: medium.** Cross-scan persistence has not been evaluated. + +17. **Empty demand should stop remaining predicates and projection reads.** It is both a correctness + simplification and an important selective-query optimization. **Confidence: high.** Tests cover + empty fragment demand, including resources shared across morsels. + +## Tasks and orchestration + +18. **A CPU task per segment predicate is too fine-grained here.** The first fragment implementation + was about 2.299x V1 because task allocation, dispatch, completion, and graph transitions cost + more than the small predicate kernels. **Confidence: high for this flat in-memory fixture.** + Expensive predicates may reverse the tradeoff. + +19. **Fusing predicate evaluation with read/decode removes tasks but mixes resource classes.** It + improved Q06, although a future scheduler may want distinct I/O and CPU admission. **Confidence: + high on performance, medium on architecture.** A coarse continuation could preserve both. + +20. **Polling ready read/decode work on the coordinator is harmful.** Decode is synchronous after + the async read resolves, so inline polling serialized worker work and worsened the ratio. + **Confidence: high.** Ready does not mean cheap to complete. + +21. **Completion-side adoption removes a real transition class.** Direct adoption reduced the + fragment path from roughly 33,242 transitions to 22,320. **Confidence: high.** Its wall-time + effect varies with noise and remaining costs. + +22. **The final fragment-mask merge is not the main problem.** Concatenating bit buffers outside + the fragments took roughly 0.57 ms in the detailed Q06 trace. **Confidence: high for Q06.** + +23. **One coordinator makes graph mutation easy and the critical path serial.** The same loop + drains completions, advances nodes, selects and claims tasks, adopts masks, and yields output. + **Confidence: high.** Whether sharding beats synchronization overhead remains unproven. + +24. **Sharding by morsel or small morsel groups is the next structural experiment.** Most fragment + state is locally owned, while shared resources need an explicit registry or owner. **Confidence: + low-medium.** This is a design hypothesis, not a measured solution. + +25. **Wave-by-wave scheduling loses pipeline overlap.** Ready fragment work should be admitted as + completions arrive rather than waiting for a global predicate phase. **Confidence: high.** The + current graph is event-driven, although its coordinator remains serialized. + +## Masks and cache coverage + +26. **A materialized all-true `BoolArray` per morsel or fragment is avoidable work.** Symbolic + all-true state can survive until an evaluator needs physical bits. **Confidence: medium-high.** + The experiment removes some no-op materialization but not all of it. + +27. **Per-bit demand assembly on the coordinator is disastrous.** The first sparse fused path + regressed to about 2.922x V1.

Skipping those allocations improved the best sample. + **Confidence: high on avoided work, medium on timing magnitude.** + +30. **A partial predicate cache requires explicit coverage.** Values computed only for demanded + rows cannot be reused for newly requested rows merely because the `SegmentId` and conjunct + match. **Confidence: high.** Cached predicates now carry an evaluated-row bitmap. + +31. **Completion waiters and later consumers have different reuse guarantees.** Waiters captured + when a task is offered may trust its captured demand; later consumers must prove their demand + is a subset of cached coverage or evaluate against the already decoded array. **Confidence: + high.** This distinction fixed shared-resource cases without discarding decode reuse. + +## I/O and sharing + +32. **Q06's gap is not caused by substantially more physical I/O.** V1 and self-paced both issue + about 10.9k requests and read about 714.6 MB. **Confidence: high for the measured fixture.** + +33. **Q06 cannot demonstrate filter/projection sharing.** Its filter and projected fields are + disjoint, so shared-resource and shared-byte metrics correctly report zero. **Confidence: + high.** Overlap queries and tests do demonstrate reuse. + +34. **Filter/projection byte sharing exists when both use the same `SegmentId`.** One resource node + owns the read/decode result and projection can consume the array first decoded for a predicate. + **Confidence: high within the restricted layout.** + +35. **`SegmentId` alone is an intentionally incomplete resource key.** It is acceptable for this + isolated source but a production cache needs segment source, layout/file identity, and possibly + decode parameters. **Confidence: high.** Do not extend the experiment's assumption silently. + +36. **Speculative I/O needs an explicit policy for unknown bytes and unknown demand.** Candidate + controls include whether speculation is enabled, an estimated byte charge, a global byte cap, + and a minimum expected surviving-row count. **Confidence: medium.** Metrics must distinguish + useful, shared, and wasted speculative bytes before tuning it. + +37. **Segment granularity can expose filter results earlier than a split-wide V1 future.** That is + a real opportunity when selectivity avoids downstream reads or expensive CPU. **Confidence: + high in mechanism, workload-dependent in benefit.** Q06 shows the work reduction but not a wall + time win. + +## Interpreting performance + +38. **Self-paced is strongest when avoided work exceeds its machinery.** Earlier full-suite results + favored selective queries with meaningful downstream work and some reuse; broad scans and tiny + queries exposed fixed overhead. **Confidence: medium-high.** Results changed with the fair + natural-split contract, so query-level numbers matter more than one overall mean. + +39. **Select-all or almost-select-all paths need a reduced-machinery mode.** Progressive masks add + little information when almost every row survives. A symbolic all-true path or early switch to + parallel/full-row evaluation is likely necessary. **Confidence: medium.** The switching rule is + not implemented. + +40. **Few projected columns can magnify control overhead.** When useful decode/selection work is + small, graph and task costs occupy a larger fraction of runtime. **Confidence: medium.** This + should be reported alongside query selectivity and bytes. + +41. **Many or expensive projected columns create more opportunity for early pruning.** Avoiding + downstream reads and decodes can amortize mask machinery. **Confidence: medium.** Compression + and object-store latency may change the crossover substantially. + +42. **Aggregate operation nanoseconds are not wall-clock attribution.** Worker predicate times can + overlap; coordinator time and dependency stalls may not appear in them. **Confidence: high.** + Phase-level coordinator wall and CPU timers are still required. + +43. **Tracing is diagnostic, not a benchmark mode.** Large trace strings and event vectors perturb + short scans. Use trace counts to explain a separate non-traced alternating measurement. + **Confidence: high.** + +44. **`BTreeMap`, `BTreeSet`, metrics, and trace payloads are visible costs in this execution + object.** Some provide valuable experiment observability, but production hot state should keep + only what it needs and compile or configure detailed tracing out of normal runs. **Confidence: + medium-high.** A coordinator phase profile is needed before removing specific structures. + +45. **A favorable aggregate result can hide severe query regressions.** Always publish per-query + tables, wins, geometric mean, rows, bytes, split/morsel counts, and concurrency availability. + **Confidence: high.** FineWeb Q06 was the clearest example. + +## Sharded coordinators (2026-08-23) + +46. **The coordinator, not the workers, was the Q06 bottleneck, now measured directly.** Phase + timing put the single coordinator at ~89% busy over the whole run (advance ~34%, completion + handling ~28%, dispatch ~24%, idle ~11%), with finished worker results waiting ~17 us on + average to be adopted. **Confidence: high.** This converts learning 23 from inference to + measurement. + +47. **Work reduction on a serialized critical path buys little; parallelizing the path buys a + lot.** Allocation-free adoption counts, batched joins, batched fragment transitions, and a + scheduler-pass skip combined recovered ~8%; four coordinator shards recovered ~44% (2.50x -> + 1.40x) and flipped TPC-H and most ClickBench shapes to wins. **Confidence: high on this + fixture.** + +48. **Four shards beat both two and eight on Q06.** Two shards leave each coordinator too busy; + eight cut per-shard admission to two workers and lose latency hiding. The right shard count + is workload- and core-dependent; a shared admission budget or stealing is still missing. + **Confidence: medium-high.** + +49. **Aligned shard boundaries make resource duplication a non-issue here.** Morsel groups end on + natural splits, so the sharded run read exactly the same 10,918 segments and 714,536,112 + bytes as the single coordinator, every segment once. General layouts with segments spanning + shard boundaries still need an explicit cross-shard resource owner. **Confidence: high for + this fixture, by construction elsewhere.** + +50. **Per-shard `Execution` init is now a visible cost.** Each shard builds the full plan-wide + resource table and pays the morsel-overlap scan inside the timed region; with 4 shards the + per-shard coordinator loop accounted for ~30 ms of a ~38 ms run, the rest being init and + output plumbing. **Confidence: medium-high.** + +51. **The serialized fixture hash is not portable across hosts.** A regenerated FineWeb fixture + reproduced the byte length exactly (1,669,473,052) and all split counts, but a different + stable hash. Use row counts, split counts, and byte length as cross-host identity, and the + hash only within one host. **Confidence: high on observation, unknown cause.** + +52. **Catalog regeneration is only faithful when the audit writes what production wrote.** Raw + string columns reproduced the FineWeb catalog exactly (1,823/2,527) and the i64-converted + lineitem reproduced TPC-H's 458 spans, but a 21-column i64 ClickBench audit produced 1,424 + all-field splits versus 19,599 from the 105-column production files. An internally fair + contract survives; comparability with earlier tables does not. **Confidence: high.** + +53. **Memory bounds the fair harness before CPU does on small hosts.** The 100-file ClickBench + fixture holds the raw i64 arrays plus one restricted-edition (uncompressed) serialized copy + plus a per-workload rechunked copy, exceeding 22 GB; a 30 GB host OOMs above ~20-30 files. + **Confidence: high.** + +54. **Owned coordination beats both the central coordinator and pooled shards.** Sixteen threads + that each coordinate and evaluate their own morsel group inline turned Q06 from 1.40x + (4 pooled shards) to 0.79x and flipped 25 of 28 workloads to wins. Per-morsel state needs no + cross-thread communication when morsel groups end on natural splits; the scheduling problem + collapses to "which thread owns which morsels". **Confidence: high for the in-memory + restricted fixture; object-store latency will need read-ahead or async I/O per thread.** + +55. **V1's physical request count is not deterministic.** Run-to-run it varies by a few duplicate + concurrent segment reads, and a dropped duplicate in-flight future counts its request but + never its bytes (~0.01% byte undercount observed).

The findings below are about what those phases will hit. + +## F1. Make the row domain and its transforms first-class + +Severity: **high**. This is an API-shape problem that Phase 9 discovers after Phases 1-8 have +hardened around it, and fixing it collapses four other problems into one mechanism. + +### The immediate defect + +`BatchRequest` carries `demand: SealedDemand<'a>` and that is the only way to drive a child. +Invariant 1 restricts construction to `DemandLedger`, and the ledger divides *the morsel row space* +into blocks. But `TakeExec` drives a values child in a lookup domain and `ListPackExec` drives an +element child in an element domain. Neither is a subrange of the morsel, and the ledger holds no +predicates there, so it has no basis on which to seal anything. Phase 9 says "translate outer +prefixes into element ranges" without saying what request type carries them. + +### The domain concept already exists, five times over + +Every operator that changes coordinates already hand-rolls its own translation, in its own +encoding: + +| Operator | Existing state | Translation | +| --- | --- | --- | +| `RowIdx` | `RowIdxData::row_offset` — "the row offset applied to the child domain" | `child = parent - offset` | +| `Concat` | `ConcatData::row_offsets: Arc<[u64]>` | `child = parent - chunk_offset` (`concat.rs:175`) | +| `Zoned` | `zone_len` | `zone = row / zone_len` (`zoned.rs:304-305`) | +| `ListPack` | `elements_range_from_offsets` | `elements = offsets[start]..offsets[end]` | +| `ListPack` | inline `row_range.end + 1` | offsets child needs one extra row | +| `Take` | codes child vs. values child | `value = codes[row]` | + +`vortex-scan-v2/src/splits.rs` then hand-rolls a *sixth* copy: `collect_plan_splits` descends +`Pack` children only where `child.row_count() == plan.row_count()` (identity), adds +`row_offset + chunk_offset` for `Concat` (shift), and takes only `Take`'s codes child (skipping the +one child whose domain differs). And the read catalog needs a seventh, currently described as "a +lookup-domain or nested operator may instead provide a conservative group or a gate". + +Naming the concept once replaces all seven. + +### The model + +A **domain** is a row universe: two nodes share a domain when a row in one *is* a row in the other. +A **domain map** is the transform on a parent-child edge. Pure renumbering stays inside a domain; +only a genuine change of row universe crosses into a new one. + +~~~rust +/// A row universe. Allocated during morsel preparation. +#[derive(Copy, Clone, PartialEq, Eq, Hash)] +struct DomainId(u32); + +enum DomainMap { + /// child row r is parent row r. + /// Pack fields, Eval input, Take codes, ListPack validity, Zoned data, RowIdxPartition. + Identity, + /// child = parent - offset.

New domain. + GatherGated { gate: GateId }, +} +~~~ + +The set is closed even for third-party layouts, because they lower to these same operators. + +Four operations are needed, and they are what every one of the seven hand-rolled copies is doing: + +~~~rust +impl DomainMap { + /// Child range covering a parent range. Read coverage and child requests. + fn map_range(&self, parent: Range) -> VortexResult>; + /// Child demand for a parent demand. + fn map_demand(&self, parent: SealedDemand<'_>) -> VortexResult; + /// Largest parent prefix satisfied by a child committed to `child_end`. + /// Defined only when `prefix_preserving()`. + fn unmap_frontier(&self, child_end: u64) -> VortexResult; + fn prefix_preserving(&self) -> bool; + fn is_static(&self) -> bool; +} +~~~ + +`unmap_frontier` is the one that makes alignment work across a coordinate change: for `ListPack` it +is a search over decoded offsets for the largest `k` with `offsets[k] <= child_end`. + +### The property that matters: only one map breaks prefix progress + +| Map | Static | Prefix-preserving | Exact for fallible work | +| --- | :---: | :---: | :---: | +| `Identity` | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | +| `Shift` | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | +| `Fence` | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | +| `Coarsen` | ✔ | ✔ | ✖ | +| `MonotoneGated` | ✖ | ✔ | ✔ | +| `GatherGated` | ✖ | ✖ | ✔ | + +This is a much sharper statement than "coordinate-changing operators are hard". Everything except +`Take`'s values child composes under one uniform rule, and `ListPack` — which the current draft +groups with `Take` as a "coordinate-changing operator" — is in the easy class. Its element child is +monotone and contiguous, so an outer prefix maps to an element prefix and ordinary prefix progress +applies once the gate resolves. + +### Derivation and the sealing invariant + +Sealing is a claim about *finality*, not about row space, and translation preserves finality. So +`SealedDemand` gains a domain and a derivation, legal only for the operator that declared the map: + +~~~rust +struct SealedDemand<'a> { + epoch: DemandEpoch, + domain: DomainId, + rows: Range, + mask: &'a Mask, + mask_offset: usize, // see F9 +} + +impl SealedDemand<'_> { + fn derive(&self, map: &DomainMap) -> VortexResult; +} +~~~ + +The naive invariant "a derived demand must be implied by its parent's" is wrong: `Coarsen` maps a +row set to the set of *covering* zones, which is a superset in row terms. Two rules instead: + +1. **Completeness.** The derived demand covers every child row that any demanded parent row depends + on. Violating this produces wrong values. +2. **Minimality for fallible work.** A map used to derive demand for fallible computation must + contain no child row that no demanded parent row depends on. `Identity`, `Shift`, `Fence`, + `MonotoneGated`, and `GatherGated` satisfy this exactly. `Coarsen` does not, so it may drive only + infallible metadata work — which is already true in practice, since it feeds evidence. + +That is checkable, and it replaces the current draft's reliance on prose about what operators +"should" do with speculative rows. + +The framework also produces a *better* derivation than today's code in at least one place. +`list_pack.rs` drives the offsets child with `MaskFuture::new_true(row_count + 1)` regardless of +outer demand. The exact `Fence` derivation is `d | (d << 1)` — for a sparse filter, materially +fewer offsets. + +### `Take`'s values child becomes a sub-root + +Because `GatherGated` is the one map that is not prefix-preserving, the values child is not driven +inside the parent's prefix cursor at all. It becomes a **sub-root**: its own domain, driven by its +own prefix cursor over `0..values_row_count`, with a sparse demand mask equal to the gather set. + +This is well-formed. The gather set derives from a sealed outer demand and decoded codes, both +final, so the value-domain demand is sealed the moment the gate expands. The value domain has no +predicates, so there is nothing to wait for. Below that point, ordinary prefix progress applies +normally, including when the values subtree is itself a `Concat`. + +It also answers F8: the three `Take` strategies are just three widths of gather mask. Full +materialization is an all-true mask (what `take.rs` does today), sparse gather is the exact code +set, and incremental is one immediately-sealed value-domain demand **per outer prefix**, deduplicated +by the `ScanState` value cache from F2. That last form is what makes incremental lookup work without +any general widening machinery: the demand never widens, there are simply successive independent +demands over a shared cache. + +### What this collapses + +- **F1**: `Take` and `ListPack` become expressible, and `ListPack` turns out to be easy. +- **Catalog coverage**: compose maps from a read's owning node up to the ledger domain. All-static + and prefix-preserving gives exact block coverage; a gated map on the path means group coverage + until the gate expands. Mechanical, not per-operator judgement, and no second mechanism. +- **F7**: `collect_plan_splits`'s operator switch becomes "walk edges whose map is static and + prefix-preserving, translating boundaries; stop at gated maps" — which is exactly what its seven + hand-written cases already compute. +- **Row identity**: absolute row number is composition of `Shift` maps to the file domain, which is + precisely what `RowIdxData::row_offset` already stores. Row-index execution stops being a special + coordinate rule. + +### Cost on the fast path is zero + +For a flat, chunked, or struct scan every edge is `Identity` or `Shift` and the whole graph is one +domain. `Coarsen`, `MonotoneGated`, and `GatherGated` are the only maps that allocate a new +`DomainId`, so the common case pays a branch on a copy type and nothing else. + +Move this into **Phase 1**, with the primitives. Adding a domain parameter after eight phases of +row-space assumptions is the expensive version of this change. + +## F2. There is no per-scan tier, and three separate costs land on its absence + +Severity: **high**. + +"Ownership boundaries" names immutable `PlanRef` and per-morsel `ExecGraph`. Preparation is +explicitly per-morsel: "This work is performed once per plan use and morsel." Anything a node would +compute identically in every morsel is therefore recomputed for every morsel. Three costs converge +here: + +1. **Dictionary value domains.** `vortex-layout/src/plan/plans/take.rs` executes the values child + over `0..values_plan.row_count()` with an all-true mask on every call. Phase 9 keeps this as one + of three options. Under a 100,000-row morsel a 1,000,000-row file rebuilds the whole value + domain ten times. +2. **Catalog construction.** For a wide table the catalog is `columns × segments-per-morsel` entries + per morsel. A 1,000-column table with 8,000-row segments is ~13,000 entries built and thrown + away per morsel. The risk register lists "Static catalog is too large" with the mitigation + "measure entry count; group homogeneous reads if necessary", but no phase owns that measurement + and no exit criterion bounds it. +3. **Lazy plan lowering.** `vortex-layout/src/plan/children.rs` populates `OnceCell` children on + first access. That cache is on `PlanRef` and shared, which is correct today but is exactly the + "runtime caches leaking into reusable plan data" the design warns about — it needs a stated home. + +All three are the same missing tier. Name it: + +| Tier | Lifetime | Sharing | Contents | +| --- | --- | --- | --- | +| `PlanRef` | cross-scan | immutable | operators, dtypes, row domains, expressions | +| `ScanState` | one scan | `Arc`, keyed by plan identity | catalog spine, resolved metadata, dictionary value domains, zone maps, read-store handles | +| `ExecGraph` | one morsel | owned, never shared | cursors, tails, tickets, scratch | + +Two consequences worth building in from Phase 3 rather than retrofitting: + +- The catalog should be built **once per scan** with per-morsel *views*, not rebuilt per morsel. + Segment identity and row coverage are morsel-independent facts; only necessity and lifecycle are + per-morsel. That turns finding 2 from a measurement risk into a non-issue. +- `ScanState` entries must be bounded and have an eviction policy. Dictionary value domains are the + obvious unbounded case, and F8 depends on this existing. + +`layout27` had this tier ("runtime state is keyed by plan identity in a scan state cache") and the +current proposal drops it. `index.md`'s comparison row asserting runtime state lives "only in the +execution graph and scheduler" should be corrected alongside. + +## F3. Parent tail retention: ownership is ambiguous and the cap mechanism goes unused + +Severity: **high**. + +### The fragmentation + +For a `Pack` over K children with independent natural boundaries, min-of-heads alignment emits the +**union** of all K boundary sets. The doc's own example is this at small scale — two children, four +output batches — and is presented as the useful meaning of "return whatever size it likes": + +~~~text +field A: [0..4) [4..10) +field B: [0..3) [3..8) [8..10) +Pack: [0..3) [3..4) [4..8) [8..10) +~~~ + +At scale, a 20-field struct over a 100,000-row morsel with per-child 8,000-row pacing can emit ~250 +batches averaging ~400 rows rather than 12 of 8,000. Note this is not a regression against today — +`collect_plan_splits` (`vortex-scan-v2/src/splits.rs:89-98`) already unions the boundaries of every +row-equivalent `Pack` child — but self-pacing does not fix it either. It re-pays the same cost at +batch granularity and adds K tail buffers on top. + +### The unused mechanism + +The batch contract already makes the request end a hard bound ("a node never exceeds the sealed +request"). A parent can therefore cap a child instead of slicing it afterwards: + +1. Round one goes wide to every child, so all their I/O is in flight, and min-of-heads sets `L`. +2. Later rounds issue `rows.end = frontier + L` to *all* children. + +Children that already hold decoded data past `L` return exactly `L` — slicing a decoded array is +free — so the union collapses to one boundary and **the parent retains nothing**. A child that +genuinely cannot stop at `L` returns shorter and the parent re-learns `L`. The parent distinguishes +the two without new API: `batch.rows.end == request.rows.end` means capped, anything shorter is a +real constraint. + +### The ownership question this settles + +The struct example says Pack "retains a[8k..64k)" and the frontier table charges it to "Pack/a". +That ambiguity is worth resolving in the child's favour, and capping does it: + +> A child that decodes more than the parent asked for keeps the surplus in **node-local** decoded +> state. It is charged to that node's decoded credit and released by that node. Parent-owned tails +> exist only where a child cannot re-slice its own output. + +This matters because the child is the only party that knows whether re-slicing is free, and it is +the party that can release. It also removes most of the exposure in F5, and it makes decision 6 of +the implementation plan's final list ("What exact memory is charged to the node, scheduler result +store, and parent after a batch is sliced?") answerable by rule rather than case by case. + +The 64,000-row indivisible decode in the worked example still forces retention — the doc is right +that no API manufactures granularity the encoding does not expose. Capping does not fix that case; +it fixes every case where the child *could* have stopped and was not asked to. + +Add to Phase 5 validation: a K-child `Pack` whose children share a boundary emits one batch per +boundary, not K. + +## F4. The epoch machinery is unmotivated; settle reachability in Phase 0 + +Severity: **medium-high**, because the unresolved fork sits on a correctness path. + +`DemandEpoch` appears in `SealedDemand`, invariant 2, Phase 2 work items 6 and validation, Phase 7 +item 10, and the risk register. But no document names an operation that widens demand, and the +resolution is left open: "The implementation must either restart the uncommitted suffix under that +epoch or define snapshot semantics that defer the change to a later scan." Those are very different +implementations, and Phase 7 is the most expensive place to find out you need the first one. + +The evidence suggests widening is not currently reachable: + +- `Selection` (`vortex-scan/src/selection.rs:18`) is fixed when the scan is constructed. +- Pruning, evidence, and predicates all intersect, so they only narrow. +- The only dynamic predicate in the tree, `DynamicFilterPhysicalExpr` + (`vortex-datafusion/src/persistent/opener.rs:1124`), is used as `file_pruning_predicate` and + applied before the scan opens. DataFusion's dynamic filters tighten as they resolve. + +The one construct that looks like widening is incremental `Take`: as successive outer prefixes +arrive, more of the value domain is needed. F1 shows this is not widening at all — each outer prefix +mints an independent, immediately-sealed demand in the value domain, and the `ScanState` value cache +(F2) makes the overlap free. So the apparent counterexample resolves without epochs. + +Make this a **Phase 0 question**: is there any supported or planned API through which demand can +widen after a scan opens? If no, delete `DemandEpoch` from `SealedDemand` and replace the machinery +with one debug assertion that intersections never widen. If yes, name the operation and pick +restart-or-snapshot before Phase 2, because the choice changes what `ExecGraph` must be able to +discard. + +Phase 0 already commits to deciding "which current behavior is contractual and which is merely an +implementation artifact". This belongs in that list. + +## F5. Credit deadlock is handled for speculation but not for retained decoded state + +Severity: **medium**. + +The design covers the speculation-versus-required case well: a reserved progress allowance for +blocking reads (Phase 4), "the scheduler must be able to stop further speculation and reserve +progress credit for blocking work", and invariant 8 requiring every `Blocked` to name a condition +that can change. + +The uncovered case is hold-and-wait on **decoded** credit across morsels. A `PackExec` holding K-1 +child tails is charged for them while needing decoded credit to advance child K, and child K's +progress is the only thing that releases them. Invariant 8 is a local check: each morsel's `Blocked` +names a live condition, and yet no morsel can advance because every one holds partial state. The +progress reserve is defined against *reads*, not against decoded bytes and retained tails. + +Add the standard pool rule as a settled design choice: + +- Credits are reserved **per morsel at admission**; a morsel is admitted only if its worst case can + be granted. +- The **oldest in-flight morsel is never denied credit** in any class. It can always drain and + release, so global progress follows by induction on morsel age. + +F3's capping removes most tails and therefore most of the exposure, but the rule is still needed for +`ListPack` element buffers and `Take` value caches, which retain by construction. + +## F6. `Yield` and minimum prefix length are unbounded + +Severity: **medium**. + +`Yield` is a fourth non-terminal outcome — "useful local progress was made, but the transition +budget was exhausted" — and nothing constrains a `Yield` → `Yield` loop. Invariant 8 constrains +`Blocked` only. Separately, a node returning a one-row prefix forever satisfies every batch +invariant. Phase 1 validates that "a perpetually ready node yields after its transition budget", +which is the opposite property: it proves `Yield` happens, not that it terminates. + +Two additions: + +- A `Yield` must be accompanied by evidence of progress — at minimum a monotonically increasing + transition counter, ideally a frontier that moved. A node returning `Yield` twice with no frontier + change and no ticket state change is a debug assertion. +- A node returns at least `min(request.rows.len(), MIN_PREFIX_ROWS)` unless bounded by an + indivisible unit or a credit. Track drives-per-committed-row as a metric with a debug ceiling. + +Phase 11 already measures "Yield count" and "no-progress wakes"; make the no-progress case an +assertion in debug builds rather than only a metric. + +## F7. `splits.rs`'s central operator switch is never replaced, though F1 makes it free + +Severity: **medium**. + +Phase 6 item 2 says "Continue using current split discovery as the source of outer morsel ranges", +and nothing later replaces it. `collect_plan_splits` (`vortex-scan-v2/src/splits.rs:62-123`) is a +hard-coded switch over `Zoned`, `Eval`, `RowIdx`, `Take`, `Pack`, `RowIdxPartition`, and `Concat` — +the same central-type-switch pattern `plan-v2.md` already flags as needing "a layout vtable hook or +registry so third-party layouts can produce plans without editing a central module". Extensibility +is one of the design's stated motivations, and this is the one place it is left intact. + +F1 supplies the replacement. Split discovery becomes: walk edges whose `DomainMap` is static and +prefix-preserving, translating boundaries through the map, and stop at gated maps. That is exactly +what the seven hand-written cases already compute — `Pack`'s `child.row_count() == plan.row_count()` +test is an `Identity` check, `Concat`'s `row_offset + chunk_offset` is a `Shift`, and taking only +`Take`'s codes child is skipping a `GatherGated` edge. Combined with catalog coverage it also makes +decision 8 of the final list ("Are morsels always row-count ranges, or should physical boundaries +align or cap them?") answerable from data the design already holds. + +Add it as a Phase 6 work item with its own exit criterion, and remove split discovery's operator +switch in the same change that proves the derived boundaries match today's. + +Related sequencing note: `RebatchExec` lands in Phase 10, but it is independently valuable, needs +none of the state machine, and decouples the public batch size from the 100,000-row unit against +*today's* executor. Shipping it in Phase 0 alongside the baseline harness would deliver one of the +design's five real benefits before any of the risk, and give Phase 11's batch-size-distribution +metric a stable reference point. + +## F8. `Take` still lists three strategies as peers + +Severity: **medium**. Largely answered by F1; what remains is choosing the default. + +Phase 9: "choose full, sparse, or incremental value-domain materialization." Under F1 these are not +three architectures but three widths of the same value-domain gather mask, so the choice is a +policy knob rather than a design fork. They are still not equivalent: + +- Full materialization is what `take.rs` does today and is unbounded in dictionary cardinality + (F2). +- Sparse gather is correct **per prefix** and wrong if read as "collect all codes first", which + would defeat prefix progress for the whole subtree. +- Incremental is per-prefix gather with cross-prefix reuse, which needs the `ScanState` cache. + +Pick a default and name the fallback: + +> Default to per-prefix code collection followed by a sparse gather in the lookup domain, backed by +> a bounded `ScanState` value cache. Fall back to full materialization only when the domain is below +> a byte threshold — which is also the common case and the fast path. + +## F9. `SealedDemand` cannot represent a suffix without allocating + +Severity: **low-medium**, but concrete. The `mask_offset` field in F1's struct is this fix. + +~~~rust +struct SealedDemand<'a> { + rows: Range, + mask: &'a Mask, +} +~~~ + +The batch contract requires "subsequent requests begin at the previous rows.end", so the coordinator +re-mints a `SealedDemand` for the unconsumed suffix after every prefix. With `mask: &'a Mask` +interpreted relative to `rows.start`, that requires a sliced mask — an allocation per prefix, on the +hot path, at roughly 12 prefixes per morsel per operator edge. Carrying +`mask_offset: usize` instead makes a suffix a field update, with the underlying sealed mask shared +for the morsel's lifetime. `Shift` derivation becomes a field update for the same reason, so the +common `Concat` edge stays allocation-free too. +This also interacts with block size: sealed windows are 1,024 rows and prefix targets are 8,192, so +state whether `SealedDemand.rows` is always block-aligned (the contiguous sealed frontier) and +whether a batch prefix may end mid-block. The invariants currently imply it may, which is fine, but +it should be written down because it determines whether the ledger or the operator does the slicing. + +## F10. `BlockDemandSummary` holds four encodings of one fact + +Severity: **low**. + +By the document's own definitions, `maybe_nonempty[i]` is true exactly when the candidate mask is +non-empty, and `upper_counts[i]` is the exact current candidate count — so +`maybe_nonempty[i] == (upper_counts[i] > 0)`. The tri-state `Zero`/`All`/`Mixed` summary is a third +encoding of the same information plus "is it saturated", and `sealed_nonempty` folds in block state. + +Phase 2's own rationale is that "the optimization cannot become a second source of truth". Keep the +two that are not derivable — `upper_counts` (exact) and block state — and derive the rest. If +`maybe_nonempty` exists as a `BitSet` purely so the scheduler can scan many blocks with one bitwise +pass, say that, because it is a cache of a derived value and needs a stated coherence rule. + +## F11. `ExecBatch.demand` is redundant + +Severity: **low**. + +Invariant 3 says `demand` is exactly the sealed mask sliced to `rows`. The requester issued the +request and holds the sealed mask, so it can compute the slice — which it must do anyway to split +retained state. Carrying it on the batch creates a second source of truth and costs a mask slice per +batch per edge. `ExecBatch { rows, values, retained_bytes }` suffices; keep `demand` behind +`debug_assertions` as the cross-check the driver already performs at every edge. + +Dropping `selection` from the earlier draft and adding `retained_bytes` were both right. + +## F12. `expected_counts` needs a stated source, or a stated absence + +Severity: **low**. + +`expected_counts: Vec` is "derived from remaining predicate selectivities". The available +source is `FilterExpr::report_selectivity` (`vortex-scan-v2/src/filter.rs:97`), which records one +rate per conjunct after that conjunct runs, globally rather than per block. Applying a global rate +uniformly across blocks carries no per-block information, so `expected_counts` can only order reads +across *different* predicate sets, not across blocks under the same one. + +Phase 2 already states expected counts never enter a correctness branch. Add that they may be +omitted entirely in the first implementation, and record what would justify adding them. + +## Suggested edits + +### Settled design choices + +- Amend 6: open demand is owned by `DemandLedger`; projection planning may consume immutable open + snapshots and summaries for candidate I/O and explicitly safe discovery work.

Everything else composes under one rule. In particular +ListPack's element child is monotone and contiguous, so an outer prefix maps to an element prefix +and ordinary prefix progress applies once its gate resolves. ListPack belongs with the easy +operators, not with Take. + +A GatherGated child is not driven inside its parent's prefix cursor at all. It becomes a +**sub-root**: its own domain, its own prefix cursor over the child's full range, and a sparse demand +mask equal to the gather set.

Split discovery in +`vortex-scan-v2/src/splits.rs` is the clearest example: its per-operator switch is a hand-written +domain-map walk in which the `child.row_count() == plan.row_count()` test is an Identity check, +`row_offset + chunk_offset` is a Shift, and taking only Take's codes child is skipping a +GatherGated edge. + +### Cost + +For a flat, chunked, or struct scan every edge is Identity or Shift and the whole graph is one +domain. Coarsen, MonotoneGated, and GatherGated are the only maps that allocate a new DomainId, so +the common case pays a branch on a copy type and nothing else. With the mask offset described under +[Demand ledger](#demand-ledger), Shift derivation is a field update rather than an allocation. + +## Three state tiers + +| Tier | Lifetime | Sharing | Contents | +| --- | --- | --- | --- | +| PlanRef | cross-scan | immutable | operators, dtypes, row domains, expressions | +| ScanState | one scan | `Arc`, keyed by plan identity | catalog spine, domain maps, resolved metadata, dictionary value caches, zone maps, read-store handles | +| ExecGraph | one morsel | owned, never shared | cursors, retained state, tickets, scratch | + +The rule is that anything a node would compute identically in every morsel belongs in ScanState. +Three costs depend on this: + +- **Dictionary value domains.** Plan v2 executes Take's values child over its whole domain on every + call. Under 100,000-row morsels a 1,000,000-row file rebuilds that domain ten times. +- **Catalog construction.** Segment identity and row coverage are morsel-independent facts. Building + them per morsel costs `columns × segments-per-morsel` entries per morsel; building them per scan + with per-morsel views costs that once. +- **Lazy plan lowering.** `PlanChildren` populates children on first access. That cache is correct + on PlanRef today but needs a stated home so it does not grow into per-scan runtime state. + +ScanState entries must be bounded and have an eviction policy. Dictionary value caches are the +obvious unbounded case. + +## Four responsibilities + +### Plan preparation + +Scan-level preparation traverses the optimized plans for pruning, filtering, and projection. It +allocates domains, declares edge maps, and records all reads that are statically visible. Morsel +preparation opens mutable execution nodes and takes a view over the catalog for that row range. +Neither happens on every drive call or mask revision. + +### Demand coordination + +The root filter coordinator owns the exact candidate mask. It may shrink that mask as evidence and +predicates complete. Once every predicate that can affect a row window has completed, the +coordinator seals the window. A sealed mask is immutable. + +### Scheduling + +The scan scheduler owns read deduplication, admission, priorities, task slots, and resource +credits. Operators describe facts such as row coverage, byte size, phase, and dependencies. They +do not assign an absolute priority that ignores other morsels or queries. + +### Value execution + +Execution nodes consume sealed demand, inspect durable ticket state, register newly required work, +update cursors, and compose batches. Expensive decoding and expression evaluation run in +scheduler-owned tasks rather than inside the coordination loop. + +Keeping these responsibilities separate prevents a mask update from becoming an instruction to +walk every projection node and reconsider every physical read. + +## Preparation and read discovery + +The conceptual preparation API has three contracts: + +~~~rust +trait PlanExec { + fn declare_domains( + plan: &PlanRef, + domains: &mut DomainBuilder, + ) -> VortexResult<()>; + + fn describe_reads( + plan: &PlanRef, + scan: Range, + catalog: &mut ReadCatalogBuilder, + ) -> VortexResult<()>; + + fn open_exec( + plan: &PlanRef, + morsel: Range, + context: &OpenContext, + ) -> VortexResult>; +} +~~~ + +The exact Rust placement is an implementation choice, and one traversal may perform the first two. +The semantic distinction is required regardless. + +### Stable read catalog + +A catalog entry describes a logical use of physical bytes: + +~~~rust +struct ReadEntry { + use_id: ReadUseId, + key: ReadKey, + owner: ExecNodeId, + domain: DomainId, + coverage: DomainCoverage, + estimated_bytes: usize, + phase: ReadPhase, + gate: Option, +} +~~~ + +ReadKey identifies the physical request and is stable across prefetch and required use. Several +ReadEntry values may share a key because a filter and projection, or two plan branches, can use the +same bytes. The scheduler merges those uses into one physical request. + +Coverage is stated in the entry's own domain. Relating it to demand blocks is map composition from +the owning node up to the ledger domain: + +- every map on the path is static and prefix-preserving: exact block coverage; +- a Coarsen on the path: exact but coarsened coverage; +- a gated map on the path: group coverage until the gate expands. + +This is mechanical rather than a per-operator judgement, and it replaces the earlier rule that a +nested or lookup operator "may instead provide a conservative group". + +Each logical read has two independent state axes: + +~~~text +necessity: Candidate | Required | Eliminated +data: Unscheduled | Queued | InFlight | Ready | Consumed +~~~ + +Candidate means that current information permits the read to be useful. Required means that a +sealed execution prefix cannot progress without it. Eliminated means that monotone demand +refinement proved it unnecessary. Promotion from candidate to required uses the same ReadKey and +does not issue a duplicate physical request. + +### Static reads and dynamic gates + +Flat segments, chunk boundaries, and struct fields are visible when the plan is opened. The +catalog can enumerate their reads for the whole scan immediately, and a morsel takes a view. This +lets the scheduler run arbitrarily far ahead on compressed I/O, subject to its byte budget, without +repeatedly driving the projection tree. + +Some reads genuinely cannot be identified yet, and these are exactly the edges whose map is not +static: + +- Take needs decoded codes before it knows which value-domain pages matter (GatherGated). +- ListPack needs offsets before it knows the element range (MonotoneGated). +- Zoned execution may need evidence before data reads become worthwhile. +- An encoding may need a footer or index before page locations are known. + +Preparation records a gate for these dependencies. When the gate result becomes available, the +owning node expands it once into stable catalog entries. This expansion is driven by new +information, not by polling or by every mask revision. + +No API can schedule an address that is not derivable until CPU work completes. The design makes +that computational dependency explicit while allowing every already-known read to run ahead. + +### Facts versus priority + +Plans and execution nodes report: + +- physical key and estimated bytes; +- domain and coverage; +- pruning, predicate, projection, or metadata phase; +- dependency gates; +- whether a use is candidate or currently required; and +- local reuse or cancellation relationships. + +The scheduler combines those facts with global state: + +- blocking versus speculative status; +- distance from the commit frontier; +- current demand summary; +- read sharing; +- per-morsel and global byte credits; +- fairness between morsels; and +- cancellation or limit state. + +This avoids embedding a different, incompatible priority policy in every layout reader. + +## Demand ledger + +Passing a live, mutable, repeatedly shrinking mask through projection value nodes is the wrong +abstraction. Projection planning and the read catalog may observe immutable open snapshots and +summaries to offer candidate I/O, but exact or fallible value execution receives sealed demand. +This avoids waking the complete projection tree for every predicate completion and prevents a +fallible expression from running for rows that a later predicate removes. + +Instead, each morsel owns a DemandLedger. It divides the morsel into modest fixed windows, for +example 1,024 rows: + +~~~rust +struct DemandBlock { + rows: Range, + candidate: Mask, + remaining_predicates: PredicateSet, + revision: u32, + state: BlockState, +} + +enum BlockState { + Open, + Sealed, +} +~~~ + +Within one demand epoch: + +- candidate masks may only shrink; +- remaining predicates may only complete; +- revision increases only while a block is open; +- sealing occurs once; and +- a sealed mask never changes. + +Predicates may finish for blocks out of order. The ledger also tracks the contiguous sealed +frontier from the morsel's commit position. Projection can begin as soon as that frontier advances; +it does not need to wait for the entire 100,000-row morsel. + +The execution API accepts an immutable capability: + +~~~rust +struct SealedDemand<'a> { + epoch: DemandEpoch, + domain: DomainId, + rows: Range, + mask: &'a Mask, + /// `rows.start` corresponds to `mask[mask_offset]`. + mask_offset: usize, +} +~~~ + +The mask offset matters because the batch contract re-mints a sealed demand for the unconsumed +suffix after every prefix. Interpreting the mask relative to `rows.start` would force a sliced mask +per prefix, on the hot path, at roughly twelve prefixes per morsel per operator edge. With an +offset, both suffix re-minting and Shift derivation are field updates over one shared mask. + +Constructing SealedDemand is restricted to DemandLedger. This makes it difficult to invoke a +demand-sensitive or fallible projection over provisional rows by accident. + +An adaptive predicate also receives an immutable input mask for its own stage. After that +predicate finishes, the coordinator intersects its result into the open block and either schedules +the next predicate or seals the block. A task never observes an input mask changing underneath it. + +### Derivation across a domain edge + +Sealing is a claim about finality, not about row space, and translation preserves finality. The +operator that owns an edge's map may therefore derive across it: + +~~~rust +impl SealedDemand<'_> { + fn derive(&self, map: &DomainMap) -> VortexResult; +} +~~~ + +A naive rule that a derived demand must be implied by its parent's is wrong: Coarsen maps a row set +to the set of *covering* zones, which is a superset in row terms. Two rules apply instead: + +1. **Completeness.** The derived demand covers every child row that any demanded parent row depends + on. Violating this produces wrong values. +2. **Minimality for fallible work.** A map used to derive demand for fallible computation must + contain no child row that no demanded parent row depends on. Identity, Shift, Fence, + MonotoneGated, and GatherGated satisfy this exactly. Coarsen does not, so it may drive only + infallible metadata work — which is what it feeds in practice. + +Exact derivation is sometimes better than what a whole-range request would do. ListPack needs +`offsets[k]` and `offsets[k+1]` for each demanded outer row `k`, so the Fence derivation is +`d | (d << 1)`. Plan v2 requests all offsets unconditionally; for a sparse filter the derived form +reads materially fewer. + +### Widening and epochs + +Monotone shrinking is a correctness requirement, not merely an optimization. Once an executor has +discarded state, skipped rows, emitted output, or cancelled reads, it cannot safely accept a mask +that widens. + +A selection or predicate change that can add rows would create a new epoch, and the implementation +would have to either restart the uncommitted suffix under that epoch or define snapshot semantics +that defer the change to a later scan. + +**Whether this case is reachable is an open question** — see [Open questions](#open-questions). +No current API appears to widen demand: Selection is fixed when the scan is constructed, and +pruning, evidence, and predicates all intersect. The construct that most resembles widening is +incremental Take, where successive outer prefixes need more of the value domain; under the sub-root +model below that is not widening but a sequence of independent, immediately sealed value-domain +demands sharing a ScanState cache. + +## Coarse demand summaries + +For a 100,000-row morsel, an exact bit mask is only 12,500 bytes, or about 1,563 64-bit words. +Exact intersection and population count should be the default when a predicate result is +available. A probabilistic sketch is unnecessary for correctness and is unlikely to beat one +linear bitwise operation at this scale. + +The scheduler still needs a cheap way to score many read entries without rescanning the exact mask +for every entry after every predicate. The ledger therefore maintains a block summary with two +independent facts and one cache: + +~~~rust +struct BlockDemandSummary { + generation: u64, + /// Exact current candidate count per block. The authoritative fact. + upper_counts: Vec, + /// Block state, so a sealed empty block is distinguishable from an open one. + sealed: BitSet, + /// Cache of `upper_counts[i] > 0`, kept only so the scheduler can scan many + /// blocks in one bitwise pass. Rebuilt from `upper_counts`, never written + /// independently. + maybe_nonempty: BitSet, +} +~~~ + +Earlier drafts also carried a separate tri-state Zero/All/Mixed summary and a `sealed_nonempty` bit +set. Both are derivable from the two facts above, and Phase 2's own rationale is that the +optimization must not become a second source of truth. Derive them. + +If a read covers only blocks whose count is zero, it can be eliminated. A non-empty open block does +not prove that the read will eventually be needed. + +If only the counts c1 and c2 of two masks over N rows are known, their intersection is bounded by: + +~~~text +lower = max(0, c1 + c2 - N) +upper = min(c1, c2) +expected under independence = c1 * c2 / N +~~~ + +The expected value is useful for ordering speculative reads. It cannot prove emptiness. Only exact +position information or a zero count can do that. + +An estimated per-block count derived from remaining predicate selectivities is a scheduling-only +heuristic and may be omitted from the first implementation. The available source, +`FilterExpr::report_selectivity`, records one rate per conjunct after that conjunct runs, globally +rather than per block, so applying it uniformly carries no per-block information. It can order +reads across different predicate sets but not across blocks under the same one. + +Read entries store the generation at which they were last scored. The scheduler rescans an entry's +covered blocks lazily when that entry reaches the admission queue, rather than eagerly updating +every read after every mask change. Immediate scheduler signals are reserved for: + +- promotion of a read that blocks a sealed prefix; +- proof that an entire read coverage is impossible; +- discovery of new gated reads; and +- expansion of the configured read horizon. + +This coalesces demand churn without hiding correctness-critical changes. + +## Execution API + +The execution graph is pull-driven and runs to quiescence: + +~~~rust +trait ExecOp: Send { + fn drive( + &mut self, + request: &BatchRequest<'_>, + context: &mut DriveContext<'_>, + ) -> VortexResult; +} + +struct BatchRequest<'a> { + demand: SealedDemand<'a>, + /// Hard upper bound on the prefix end. Parents use this to align siblings. + max_rows: u64, + target_rows: usize, + target_bytes: usize, +} + +enum DriveResult { + Batch(ExecBatch), + Blocked(WaitSet), + Done, + Yield(Progress), +} +~~~ + +DriveResult is not a work queue: + +- Batch commits a non-empty dense prefix of the request. +- Blocked says that no further local transition is possible until one of the named tickets or + credits changes state. +- Done says that the operator has consumed its complete morsel domain. +- Yield says that useful local progress was made, but the transition budget was exhausted before + reaching another outcome. It carries evidence of that progress. + +I/O and CPU tasks are registered through DriveContext: + +~~~rust +impl DriveContext<'_> { + fn require_read(&mut self, use_id: ReadUseId) -> ReadTicket; + fn submit_cpu(&mut self, key: CpuTaskKey, task: CpuTask) -> CpuTicket; + fn read_result(&self, ticket: ReadTicket) -> Option<&ReadResult>; + fn cpu_result(&self, ticket: CpuTicket) -> Option<&CpuResult>; + fn wait_for_credit(&mut self, class: CreditClass, bytes: usize) -> CreditTicket; +} +~~~ + +Registration is idempotent.

CPU tasks own their inputs and return owned outputs; they never retain +mutable access to an execution node. + +One Pack drive can therefore: + +1. inspect completed tickets; +2. consume ready results; +3. drive every child whose head is missing; +4. register a read for one child and CPU work for another; +5. assemble a prefix if every child has a head; and +6. otherwise return one combined wait set. + +The caller does not need to interpret an exclusive MoreIo or RunCpu state, and sibling work is not +serialized by the shape of an enum. + +### Run to quiescence + +Within a bounded transition budget, drive repeats cheap state transitions until one of the four +outcomes is reached. Cheap work includes ticket inspection, cursor changes, mask slicing, catalog +gate expansion, and array-head bookkeeping. Expensive decoding, expression evaluation, and array +construction become CPU tasks when they exceed a cost threshold. + +Every multi-child operator must visit all missing children before returning Blocked. Waiting on the +first child without registering independent work for later children would create artificial +serialization and can deadlock a bounded scheduler. + +### Progress obligations + +Two non-terminal outcomes exist, and neither may spin: + +- A Yield must carry evidence of progress: at minimum an increased transition count, ideally a + frontier that moved. Two consecutive Yields with no frontier change and no ticket state change + are a debug assertion, not a fairness event. +- A Batch is at least `min(request rows, MIN_PREFIX_ROWS)` unless bounded by an indivisible unit or + a resource credit. Without this, a node returning one row forever satisfies every other invariant. + +Drives per committed row is a metric with a debug-build ceiling. + +Yield otherwise prevents a large ready graph from monopolizing its coordinator thread. The scheduler +may immediately queue the morsel again. + +### Tickets, not event inboxes + +Completion events only make a morsel runnable. Durable state lives in: + +- the read catalog and read-result store; +- CPU task tickets and owned results; +- execution-node state variants; +- child BatchCursor values; and +- the demand ledger. + +On wake-up, drive reads ticket state and derives the next transition. It does not replay an event +log or rely on receiving completion messages in a particular order. Duplicate and coalesced wakes +are therefore harmless. + +### When drive is called + +Projection drive is scheduled only when: + +1. the contiguous sealed frontier grows beyond the projection commit frontier; +2. a read, CPU, or credit ticket in its current WaitSet changes state; +3. downstream output capacity becomes available; +4. cancellation, limit, or error state changes; or +5. the previous call returned Yield. + +An intermediate predicate completion normally updates DemandLedger and its summary generation. It +does not wake projection unless it seals a new contiguous window. The read scheduler can +independently reconsider candidate catalog entries when it has admission capacity, so read-ahead +does not require projection polling. + +This answers the drive-frequency problem: call drive at semantic progress boundaries, not at every +mask refinement and not merely because an unrelated event arrived. + +## Three horizons and separate budgets + +One row cursor cannot express all useful look-ahead. Each morsel has three logical horizons: + +~~~text +commit/emit horizon rows eligible to become the next output prefix +materialize horizon rows for which decode or expression CPU may run +read horizon rows whose compressed inputs may be prefetched +~~~ + +For example: + +~~~text +rows 0 8k 24k 100k + |-----------|-----------|-----------------------------| +committed ^ 8k +emit ^ next sealed prefix +materialize ^ bounded decoded look-ahead +read ^ whole morsel if credits allow +~~~ + +The read horizon can run far ahead because compressed buffers use a separate budget. The +materialize horizon remains closer to the commit frontier because decoded arrays and retained +results are often larger. Fallible or demand-sensitive computation may not cross the appropriate +sealed horizon. An operator may opt into provisional computation only when it proves that doing so +cannot change observable results or errors. + +At minimum, account separately for: + +- in-flight and retained compressed bytes; +- decoded arrays and retained results; +- CPU task inputs and outputs; +- root output buffering; and +- oversized indivisible units. + +Throttle decoded lead by retained bytes, not only by rows. Fields can differ by orders of magnitude +in bytes per row. + +### Progress guarantees + +Two rules prevent a bounded budget from deadlocking: + +- **Oversized units.** An indivisible segment, encoded block, or list value can exceed the normal + budget. Progress then requires an explicit oversized-unit permit that runs one such unit in + isolation. +- **Morsel age.** Credits are reserved per morsel at admission, and a morsel is admitted only if + its worst case can be granted. The oldest in-flight morsel is never denied credit in any class: + it can always drain and release, so global progress follows by induction on morsel age. + +The second rule matters for classes other than compressed reads. Reserving progress credit for +blocking *reads* does not prevent hold-and-wait on *decoded* credit, where several morsels each +retain partial results and none can advance. Every morsel's Blocked can name a live condition while +no morsel is able to make progress; invariant 9 is a local check and cannot see that. + +## Batch contract + +An execution batch records dense coverage separately from compact values: + +~~~rust +struct ExecBatch { + rows: Range, + values: ArrayRef, + retained_bytes: usize, + /// Debug builds only. The requester holds the sealed mask and can derive this; + /// carrying it in release builds creates a second source of truth. + #[cfg(debug_assertions)] + demand: Mask, +} +~~~ + +For every Batch result: + +1. rows.start equals the request start. +2. rows is a non-empty dense prefix within the sealed request, and does not exceed `max_rows`. +3. rows covers at least `min(request rows, MIN_PREFIX_ROWS)` unless bounded by an indivisible unit + or a credit. +4. the demanded prefix is exactly the sealed mask sliced to rows. +5. values.len() equals that slice's true count. +6. values preserve demanded row order. +7. the operator commits the prefix exactly once. +8. subsequent requests begin at the previous rows.end. + +Dense coverage proves progress. An all-false mask may return an empty values array while advancing +over a non-empty dense prefix. + +Target rows and target bytes are soft limits; `max_rows` is hard. Natural boundaries may stop +earlier, and an acquired oversized permit may allow one indivisible unit to exceed the soft targets. +A node never exceeds the sealed request or its hard credits. + +## Parent alignment + +Row-equivalent children may prefer different boundaries. If a parent only ever took the minimum +head and retained the rest, it would emit the **union** of every child's boundary set: a 20-field +struct over a 100,000-row morsel with 8,000-row pacing could emit hundreds of short batches rather +than a dozen full ones, each with retained tails to match. + +Because `max_rows` is a hard bound, the parent can cap instead: + +1. **Round one** goes wide to every child so all their I/O is in flight, and min-of-heads sets the + agreed length `L`. +2. **Later rounds** issue `max_rows = frontier + L` to every child. + +Children that already hold decoded data past `L` return exactly `L`, because slicing a decoded array +is free. The union collapses to one boundary and the parent retains nothing. A child that genuinely +cannot stop at `L` returns shorter, and the parent re-learns `L` from that round. The parent +distinguishes the two without new API: `batch.rows.end == request max_rows` means capped, anything +shorter is a real constraint. + +For a compact child batch, splitting at dense position cut uses rank: + +~~~text +value_cut = demand[..cut].true_count() +left_values = values[..value_cut] +right_values = values[value_cut..] +~~~ + +### Who retains a surplus + +A child that decodes more than the parent asked for keeps the surplus in **node-local** state, +charged to that node's decoded credit and released by that node. Parent-owned retention exists only +where a child cannot re-slice its own output. + +The child is the only party that knows whether re-slicing is free, and the only party that can +release. This rule also answers what memory is charged where after a batch is sliced, which +otherwise has to be settled case by case. + +Capping does not manufacture granularity an encoding does not expose. If a child can only decode one +indivisible 64,000-row unit, it holds that unit regardless. Capping fixes every case where the child +*could* have stopped and was not asked to. + +## Intra-morsel struct example + +Consider struct(a, b) over a 100,000-row morsel. Field a is cheap and has 64,000-row segments. +Field b is wide and has 8,000-row segments: + +~~~text +dense rows 0 8k 16k 24k 64k 100k + |--------|--------|--------|-----------------|-----------------| +a segments |---------------- A0 ------------------------|------ A1 --------| +b segments |-- B0 --|-- B1 --|-- B2 --| ... |-- B7 --|-- B8 --| ... B12 | +Pack output |-- P0 --|-- P1 --|-- P2 --| ... | +~~~ + +At scan preparation the catalog exposes A0, A1, and B0 through B12. The I/O scheduler may prefetch +any of them within compressed-byte credits. + +The first Pack drive visits both fields: + +~~~text +Pack drive + a: require A0 read + b: require B0 read + register both, then Blocked({A0, B0}) + +reads complete + a: submit decode A0 + b: submit decode B0 + register both, then Blocked({decode A0, decode B0}) + +decodes complete + a ready frontier = 64k + b ready frontier = 8k + Pack emits [0..8k), sets L = 8k + a holds its own decoded [8k..64k) +~~~ + +After P0, the important frontiers are: + +~~~text + a b Pack +committed 8k 8k 8k +ready 64k 8k 8k +CPU scheduled 64k perhaps 16k - +compressed read-ahead perhaps 100k perhaps 100k - +retained decoded bytes a[8k..64k), charged to a - +~~~ + +Subsequent rounds request `max_rows = 16k`, `24k`, and so on from both fields. Field a serves them +from its own decoded segment and returns exactly the cap; field b decodes B1, B2, and so on. Pack +retains nothing and emits one batch per round. + +Pack should not cause A1 to decode merely because a's row frontier is closer: A1 cannot advance Pack +until b reaches 64k, and its decoded bytes are costly. Compressed A1 may still be read ahead under +the separate I/O budget. + +The parent commit frontier is the minimum row-equivalent ready frontier. Useful work forms a +wavefront around that minimum: + +- read far ahead where compressed bytes are cheap and reusable; +- materialize the lagging child and a bounded amount beyond it; +- let a leading child hold its own decoded surplus only within its decoded-byte credits; and +- emit the largest common prefix currently available. + +There is a fundamental constraint here. If A0 can only be decoded as one indivisible 64,000-row +unit, the system must either hold that decoded result, serialize until credit is available, or add +finer physical decode support. No state-machine API can manufacture parallelism or granularity that +the encoding does not expose. The API's job is to expose the constraint, schedule independent work, +and bound its memory cost. + +## Operator behavior + +| Operator | Child maps | Prefix-preserving throughout | +| --- | --- | --- | +| SegmentScan | none | ✔ | +| Concat | Shift per chunk | ✔ | +| Pack | Identity | ✔ | +| Eval | Identity | ✔ | +| RowIdx | Shift | ✔ | +| Zoned | Identity (data), Coarsen (zones) | ✔ | +| ListPack | Fence (offsets), Identity (validity), MonotoneGated (elements) | ✔ once gated | +| Take | Identity (codes), GatherGated (values) | ✖ for values | + +### SegmentScanExec + +Preparation registers the segment or independently addressable pages. Drive promotes the read use +needed by the sealed prefix, consumes its ticket when ready, and submits decode work. It may return +a page-sized prefix or slice a larger decoded segment into smaller batches, honouring `max_rows` so +its parent can align it against siblings. + +The current plan-v2 SegmentScan requests and decodes the complete serialized segment before +slicing. The first executor adapter can preserve that behavior. Smaller physical reads require +format metadata and independently decodable pages; changing the execution API alone does not add +them. + +### ConcatExec + +Concat maps parent rows into one child at a time through a Shift map built from immutable row +offsets. It holds an output cursor and a current child cursor. Static preparation enumerates later +child segments for the whole scan, so Concat does not walk later children on every drive merely to +offer prefetch. + +Concat normally returns at a child boundary or at the child's chosen prefix. It has no row-wise +sibling alignment because only one chunk owns each output row. + +### PackExec + +Pack propagates the same sealed row demand to every projected field and validity child across +Identity maps. It drives all missing heads, caps later rounds at the agreed length, and combines +the common prefix. + +For each child it tracks: + +- committed frontier: rows already consumed by Pack; +- ready frontier: contiguous materialized rows held by the child; +- scheduled frontier: decode or expression CPU already submitted; and +- retained bytes, which is the backpressure quantity that matters when field widths differ. + +Physical read admission remains in the catalog scheduler and can be much farther ahead than these +CPU frontiers. + +### EvalExec + +Eval normally preserves its child's prefix. It schedules expression work only for demanded compact +values. Fallible or otherwise demand-sensitive expressions require SealedDemand. Small infallible +operations may execute inline or speculatively only when an explicit safety classification allows +it. + +### ListPackExec + +ListPack is prefix-preserving throughout and belongs with the row-equivalent core rather than with +Take. + +Outer rows define output progress. The Fence map derives demand for offsets as `d | (d << 1)` over +`rows.start..rows.end + 1`. Decoded offsets expand the element gate and resolve the MonotoneGated +element map, whose `unmap_frontier` is a search for the largest `k` with `offsets[k] <= element_end`. +Element batches are buffered in the element domain until at least one complete outer-row prefix can +be assembled. + +One list value is indivisible at the output boundary. An oversized list uses the oversized-unit +permit. + +### TakeExec + +Codes define outer-row progress across an Identity map. Values live behind the one GatherGated edge +in the system, so they are not driven inside Take's prefix cursor. The values child becomes a +**sub-root**: its own domain, its own prefix cursor over the full value range, and a sparse demand +mask equal to the gather set. + +This is well-formed. The gather set derives from a sealed outer demand and decoded codes, both +final, so the value-domain demand is sealed the moment the gate expands. The value domain carries no +predicates, so nothing waits. Below that point ordinary prefix progress applies, including when the +values subtree is itself a Concat. + +The three materialization strategies are then three widths of the same gather mask rather than three +architectures: + +| Strategy | Gather mask | When | +| --- | --- | --- | +| Full | all-true | value domain below a byte threshold; the common fast path | +| Sparse | exact code set for one outer prefix | default | +| Incremental | one sealed demand per outer prefix, deduplicated by the ScanState value cache | large domains with repeated codes | + +Default to sparse per-prefix gather backed by a bounded ScanState value cache, falling back to full +materialization below the byte threshold. Note that the incremental form needs no widening +machinery: successive prefixes mint independent sealed demands over a shared cache. + +### ZonedExec + +Zone metadata contributes evidence to DemandLedger across a Coarsen map. Because Coarsen is not +minimal, it may drive only infallible metadata work — reading a zone tells you about rows nobody +demanded, which is fine for statistics and not for a fallible expression. + +Data reads remain candidates while affected blocks are open and can be eliminated when evidence +proves the coverage empty. Evidence and data may share the same scheduler, but evidence receives +phase facts from which the scheduler derives its priority. + +### Row-index execution + +Absolute row identity is composition of Shift maps up to the file domain, which is what +`RowIdxData::row_offset` already stores. Row indices therefore derive from dense coverage +coordinates rather than compact array positions, and prefix slicing and root rebatching preserve +them without a special coordinate rule. + +## Morsel boundary discovery + +Morsel ranges are derived, not switched on. Walk edges whose map is static and prefix-preserving, +translating boundaries through the map, and stop at gated maps. Combined with catalog coverage this +yields the boundaries that matter: the rows at which read coverage changes. + +This replaces the per-operator switch in `vortex-scan-v2/src/splits.rs`, which computes exactly this +by hand — its `child.row_count() == plan.row_count()` test is an Identity check, its +`row_offset + chunk_offset` is a Shift, and its taking only Take's codes child is skipping a +GatherGated edge. Deriving boundaries generically also removes the last place where a third-party +layout would require editing a central module. + +## Root filter and projection flow + +The morsel coordinator owns scan phases: + +~~~text +initial selection + -> initialize exact candidate masks +metadata and index evidence + -> shrink open DemandLedger blocks +open demand snapshots + -> offer predicate work and candidate projection I/O + -> run explicitly safe discovery CPU for conditional reads +predicate stages + -> evaluate immutable stage masks + -> intersect exact results + -> seal completed blocks +contiguous sealed frontier advances + -> promote exact projection work and drive values with SealedDemand + -> receive self-paced prefixes + -> root rebatch and commit +~~~ + +Projection reads may be admitted while blocks are still open because read discovery and scheduling +use conservative catalog coverage. This overlaps I/O with filtering and preserves what plan v2 gets +today from constructing projection futures before the filter mask resolves. Projection computation +waits for sealing when required by its semantics. + +Adaptive filter ordering remains root policy. Individual value operators do not reorder top-level +conjuncts. A block-oriented coordinator may finish and seal early blocks while later blocks still +run predicates, allowing output and I/O to pipeline across one morsel. + +## Scheduler and backpressure + +The scheduler maintains: + +- one deduplicated physical read store keyed by ReadKey; +- logical read uses and their domain coverage; +- separate required and speculative admission queues; +- lazy demand-generation scoring; +- CPU task tickets and result storage; +- compressed, decoded, task, and output credits, reserved per morsel; +- cancellation groups and release frontiers; and +- fairness across morsels, with the oldest never denied. + +Required work may bypass speculative priority but not hard safety limits. If all normal credit is +held by work that cannot unblock the commit frontier, the scheduler must be able to stop further +speculation and reserve progress credit for blocking work. + +Operators release retained results, decoded pages, task results, and read-store references once no +uncommitted prefix can use them. Shared physical buffers remain until every logical use releases +them. + +## Root rebatching and multiple morsels + +Natural internal fragments do not leak into ArrayStream. RebatchExec: + +- concatenates small adjacent batches toward a consumer target; +- slices large batches without copying when possible; +- respects ordering, limit, cancellation, schema, and memory boundaries; and +- commits dense progress independently of compact output length. + +RebatchExec depends on none of the execution-graph machinery and can be built against the current +executor, where it already decouples the public batch size from the 100,000-row split unit. Doing so +early delivers one of this design's benefits before any of its risk and gives batch-size measurements +a stable reference point. + +The outer scheduler opens execution graphs for disjoint morsels. Ordered scans merge them by morsel +position; unordered scans may emit completed morsels sooner. A parked morsel does not retain a +worker thread, and scheduler-owned tasks from several morsels may occupy the worker pool. + +## Correctness invariants + +The implementation must enforce: + +1. Only DemandLedger constructs SealedDemand, and only the operator owning an edge's DomainMap + derives across that edge. +2. Derivation is complete: it covers every child row that a demanded parent row depends on. +3. Derivation that drives fallible work is also minimal. Coarsen is not minimal and may drive only + infallible metadata work. +4. Prefix progress composes across every map except GatherGated; a GatherGated child is driven as a + sub-root with its own cursor and its own sealed demand. +5. Demand shrinks monotonically within an epoch. +6. A Batch covers exactly one non-empty dense prefix of its request, within `max_rows`, and at least + `MIN_PREFIX_ROWS` unless bounded by an indivisible unit or a credit. +7. Compact value cardinality equals the exact prefix-demand population count. +8. A parent commits only the intersection of row-equivalent child-ready prefixes. +9. Registering the same read use or CPU task key is idempotent. +10. Work completion changes ticket state; event order is not semantic state. +11. Every Blocked names a condition that can make progress possible, and every Yield carries + evidence of progress. +12. A multi-child drive visits every missing child before blocking. +13. Speculative reads never commit rows or authorize unsafe computation. +14. CPU tasks own inputs and never mutate the execution graph concurrently. +15. Retained data is charged to the node that can release it, and a child that overshoots a cap + charges itself. +16. Cancellation and errors prevent further commits and release unneeded work. +17. Root output preserves dense row order unless unordered morsel output was explicitly requested. + +Debug builds should assert row coverage, mask length, rank, cardinality, frontier monotonicity, +derived-demand completeness, and credit ownership at operator boundaries. + +## Settled design choices + +The proposal recommends treating these as architectural constraints: + +1. Fixed morsels remain the outer scheduling unit. +2. Inner results are child-chosen contiguous prefixes within a parent-set bound. +3. Row domains and their transforms are first-class. One DomainMap serves demand derivation, + catalog coverage, morsel-boundary discovery, and row identity. +4. State has three tiers: immutable PlanRef, per-scan ScanState, per-morsel ExecGraph. +5. Static read discovery happens once per scan, with per-morsel views. +6. Data-dependent reads are exposed by explicit gates, which are exactly the non-static maps. +7. The central scheduler owns admission, deduplication, and final priority. +8. Open demand is owned by DemandLedger. Projection planning may consume immutable open snapshots + and summaries for candidate I/O and explicitly safe discovery work; exact or fallible value + execution receives sealed immutable demand. +9. Exact masks remain the correctness representation; block summaries are scheduler accelerators + with one authoritative fact and derived caches. +10. Drive registers any mix of work and runs to quiescence, and every non-terminal outcome carries + evidence of progress. +11. Parents align by capping the request; a child that overshoots retains the surplus itself. +12. Compressed read-ahead and decoded materialization have separate horizons and budgets. Credits + are reserved per morsel and the oldest in-flight morsel is never denied. +13. Root rebatching isolates consumers from natural internal boundaries and can ship before the + execution graph. + +## Open questions + +These are not implementation details and should be settled before the phases that depend on them. + +| Question | Depends on it | Current evidence | +| --- | --- | --- | +| Can demand widen after a scan opens? | whether DemandEpoch exists at all, and what ExecGraph must be able to discard | Selection is fixed at construction; pruning, evidence, and predicates all intersect; the only dynamic predicate is applied as file pruning before the scan opens.

vortex-morsel + +An experimental morsel-driven scan executor for Vortex layouts — the P1 spine of the design in +`docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/morsel-based-plan-execution.md`. + +A scan is cut into *morsels* (contiguous root row ranges). Each morsel is driven by a tree of +stateful `ExecNode` state machines, inline and depth-first, by one affinity-owning worker. +`next_plan` *names* reads by registering keyed uses against the IO plane. `execute` can try a +source-provided non-blocking inline read for a required ticket; on a miss it suspends on that exact +ticket while workers service the background IO queues. + +The crate is a prototype and is not part of the public API. It supports flat, chunked and +struct layouts only; anything else is a build error rather than a fallback. + +Cross-morsel decode reuse comes from **leased shared cells**, not a cache: lease counts are +computed from the morsel cut before the scan starts, the first morsel to decode a unit publishes +it, every retiring morsel releases its lease, and the last release drops the array. No budget, no +eviction policy, nothing outliving the scan; the ledger is asserted to drain to zero.

An experimental morsel-driven scan executor for Vortex layouts. +//! +//! This crate is the P1 spine of the design recorded in +//! `docs/developer-guide/internals/scan-execution-models/morsel-based-plan-execution.md`: the scan +//! is cut into *morsels* (contiguous root row ranges), and each morsel is driven by a tree of +//! stateful [`ExecNode`] state machines that pull values from their children. +//! +//! The two halves of the contract are: +//! +//! * [`ExecNode::next_plan`] — planning. A node *names* the IO it will need by registering +//! [`IoUse`](io::IoUse)s against the [`IoPlane`](io::IoPlane), which hands back tickets. Nodes +//! do not read during planning. Planning is budget-bounded and resumable: a node that exhausts +//! its quantum yields [`PlanItem::Plan`] and resumes from its own cursor on the next call. +//! * [`ExecNode::execute`] — value production. When a named required cell is still unissued, +//! [`ExecCx::ready`](node::ExecCx::ready) may attempt one source-provided read guaranteed not to +//! wait on storage (Linux files use `preadv2(RWF_NOWAIT)`). A hit is consumed inline. A miss +//! suspends on the exact ticket and the scheduler submits its batch to the shared urgent IO +//! queue.

Each worker owns one arena and one active morsel. Arenas never migrate, and emission order +//! is restored by morsel index. +//! +//! Raw request cells are shared for the lifetime of a scan, deduplicating both pending and +//! completed segment reads.

Real TPC-H data and real TPC-H scan queries. +//! +//! The earlier workloads were *shaped like* TPC-H; this module is the real thing.

A scan executor produces the rows an engine's aggregation, join and sort operators consume. It +//! does not aggregate, join or sort.

The fixture is written through a real compressing pipeline (btrblocks: ALP, FSST, RLE, +//! bit-packing, ...) so decode cost — the denominator of every ratio — is real. But it writes +//! **struct-of-chunked-flat only**: no zone maps and no dictionary *layout*.
