📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe change expands KvikIO configuration with backend, task, buffer, reactor, dispatch, and request-ceiling options. It resolves and validates these options from executor settings and environment variables, then applies them across Dask, Ray, and SPMD execution paths. ChangesKvikIO executor configuration
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to A query-engine reset can discard configured KvikIO settings and silently change I/O behavior, including task sizing. Merge should wait until all existing settings are preserved across reset or the behavior is explicitly accepted with regression coverage.

While 16 MiB+ is indeed better than 4 MiB, we have observed that 16 MiB is about optimal for multi-poll, whereas 64 MiB is still better when using easy_threadpool. Therefore I have a slight disagreement with this and would still prefer 64 unless we move to multi-poll. |
@pentschev My plan was immediately to follow up and switch to multi-poll as the default. But I think we should set everything in one PR? I'll 16MiB for multi-poll and 64MiB for easy-threadpool. |

Thanks Matt, I think this is indeed a better alternative, do all in one PR makes it less likely for us to incorrectly set the multiple defaults we're trying to. I left a comment about the reactor dispatch default.
| task_size: int | None = None, | ||
| bounce_buffer_bytes: int = 16 * 1024 * 1024, | ||

The value we've been testing with multi-poll for which we got the best results was per_pread, not per_chunk. Is there a strong reason for setting to per_chunk here? If so we should first rerun with that configuration, but AWS is having capacity issues for the past ~24h and we cannot get allocations, so we can't predict when we'll have results available.
Description
Defaults cudf-polars to the kvikio MULTI_POLL backend with new defaults for
kvikio_task_size,kvikio_bounce_buffer_bytes,kvikio_reactor_count,kvikio_reactor_dispatch, andkvikio_request_ceiling. These are the best defaults we've found based on benchmarking on a g7e.8xlarge instance.kvikio_remote_io_backendMULTI_POLLEASY_THREADPOOLkvikio_task_sizekvikio_bounce_buffer_byteskvikio_nthreadskvikio_reactor_countkvikio_reactor_dispatchPER_CHUNKkvikio_request_ceilingNotes:
MULTI_POLL doesn't use
kvikio_nthreadsfor remote I/O, it uses the reactor threads instead, so we don't force that pool to 256 threads under MULTI_POLL.EASY_THREADPOOL doesn't use the reactor settings at all.
