From 8a66cc8335bf5fd4044a3258e7ac39dd9b820d85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leo Meyerovich Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:59:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 01/22] feat(gfql): native Polars cypher row pipeline (RETURN/LIMIT/SKIP/DISTINCT/WHERE) Extends the native Polars GFQL engine (PR1 traversals) to Cypher MATCH...RETURN row queries. chain_polars now splits boundary call() ops like the pandas _handle_boundary_calls: traversal runs natively, trailing row-pipeline calls execute on Engine.POLARS. The frame ops (rows/limit/skip/distinct/drop_cols) are engine-polymorphic and run native polars; the cypher result projection host-bridges only its row-wise entity-text formatting. Supported on polars: whole-entity RETURN n, LIMIT/SKIP, whole-row DISTINCT, single-entity WHERE, multi-column projection. Expression-engine row ops (select/order_by/where_rows/group_by/unwind) and multi-entity binding_ops raise NotImplementedError (deferred). - engine_polars/chain.py: boundary split + _run_calls_polars + _chain_traversal_polars - row/frame_ops.py: _is_polars/_empty_like, native slice/head/unique/filter/drop - row/pipeline.py: execute_row_pipeline_call polars guard for unported ops - cypher/result_postprocess.py: _bridge_result_frames around the projection - call/executor.py: propagate NotImplementedError unwrapped - tests + benchmark (cypher_row_pipeline.py); added to bin/test-polars.sh Differential parity vs pandas; pandas suite unregressed. Polars wins 1.4-5.2x at ~1M nodes where traversal/pre-projection reduction dominates; full-table RETURN ~1.0x (bridged projection is the PR3 lever).

Covers forward/reverse/undirected single-hop traversal, directed multi-hop chains, node/edge filter dicts and predicates (lowered to Polars expressions), `edge_match`/`source_node_match`/`destination_node_match`, `target_wave_front`, and alias names; the BFS advances via semi/anti joins (no per-row Python work). Validated by differential parity against the pandas engine (hop + chain test suites plus a randomized fuzzer) and benchmarked vs pandas (`benchmarks/gfql/pandas_vs_polars.py`) — Polars wins at scale (up to ~2.5x on multi-edge chains at millions of edges; crossover ~50–100k rows). Variable-length/multi-hop edges, undirected edges in multi-edge chains, hop labels, and node `query=` raise `NotImplementedError` for now (use `engine='pandas'`). +- **GFQL native Polars engine — cypher row pipeline (`engine='polars'`)**: Extended the Polars engine to Cypher `MATCH … RETURN` row queries. `chain_polars` now splits boundary `call()` ops (mirroring the pandas `_handle_boundary_calls`), running the traversal natively and then the trailing row-pipeline calls on `Engine.POLARS`. The row-pipeline frame ops (`rows`, `limit`, `skip`, `distinct`, `drop_cols`) are engine-polymorphic and run natively on Polars (`slice`/`head`/`unique`/`filter`), and the Cypher result projection host-bridges only its row-wise entity-text formatting. This makes whole-entity `RETURN n`, `LIMIT`/`SKIP`, whole-row `DISTINCT`, single-entity `WHERE`, and multi-column projections work end-to-end on Polars (polars-typed results), validated by differential parity vs pandas (`graphistry/tests/compute/gfql/test_engine_polars_row_pipeline.py`) and benchmarked (`benchmarks/gfql/cypher_row_pipeline.py`) — Polars wins 1.4–5.2× where traversal or pre-projection reduction dominates at ~1M nodes (neutral on full-table projection, which the bridge still dominates). Expression-engine row ops (`select`, `with_`, `return_` projection lists, `order_by`, `where_rows`, `group_by`, `unwind`) and multi-entity `rows(binding_ops=…)` raise `NotImplementedError` for now (use `engine='pandas'`). ### Changed - **GFQL Cypher parse memoization (perf)**: `parse_cypher` now memoizes its result (LRU over the deterministic lark parse+transform → immutable frozen AST). Repeated identical Cypher queries skip the ~15 ms parse — the dominant per-call cost of small queries (~50% of a Cypher call at 100k rows) — making end-to-end query latency ~1.3–1.7× faster at small/interactive sizes across pandas/polars/cuDF. Safe to share the cached AST: every Cypher AST node is `@dataclass(frozen=True)` and `compile_cypher_query` does not mutate the parsed tree; validation errors still raise and are not cached. diff --git a/benchmarks/gfql/cypher_row_pipeline.py b/benchmarks/gfql/cypher_row_pipeline.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..cfdffdd20a --- /dev/null +++ b/benchmarks/gfql/cypher_row_pipeline.py @@ -0,0 +1,163 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env python3 +"""Benchmark the native polars GFQL row pipeline vs pandas for cypher queries. + +Phase 2 of the polars engine enables cypher RETURN / LIMIT / SKIP / DISTINCT / +single-entity WHERE on ``engine='polars'`` (before this increment these raised +NotImplementedError on polars).

All-native runs (rows/limit/skip/distinct/drop_cols) still execute on Engine.POLARS. This makes the full cypher row surface work on engine='polars' (property projection/select, order_by, cross-entity where_rows, group_by/aggregation, unwind, multi-entity binding_ops) with differential parity vs pandas, while keeping the native fast path for the frame ops. _bridge_graph uses an identity-keyed memo to break the cyclic _gfql_rows_base_graph chain. Also reverts the executor.py change that re-raised NotImplementedError unwrapped (it broke call ops like fa2_layout that legitimately raise NotImplementedError and expect the GFQLTypeError E303 wrapping) — no longer needed now that row ops bridge instead of deferring. Tests: previously-deferred queries move to a BRIDGED parity set (still polars-typed). Pandas suite unregressed (3165 cypher+ref pass).

Covers forward/reverse/undirected single-hop traversal, directed multi-hop chains, node/edge filter dicts and predicates (lowered to Polars expressions), `edge_match`/`source_node_match`/`destination_node_match`, `target_wave_front`, and alias names; the BFS advances via semi/anti joins (no per-row Python work). Validated by differential parity against the pandas engine (hop + chain test suites plus a randomized fuzzer) and benchmarked vs pandas (`benchmarks/gfql/pandas_vs_polars.py`) — Polars wins at scale (up to ~2.5x on multi-edge chains at millions of edges; crossover ~50–100k rows). Variable-length/multi-hop edges, undirected edges in multi-edge chains, hop labels, and node `query=` raise `NotImplementedError` for now (use `engine='pandas'`). -- **GFQL native Polars engine — cypher row pipeline (`engine='polars'`)**: Extended the Polars engine to Cypher `MATCH … RETURN` row queries. `chain_polars` now splits boundary `call()` ops (mirroring the pandas `_handle_boundary_calls`), running the traversal natively and then the trailing row-pipeline calls on `Engine.POLARS`. The row-pipeline frame ops (`rows`, `limit`, `skip`, `distinct`, `drop_cols`) are engine-polymorphic and run natively on Polars (`slice`/`head`/`unique`/`filter`), and the Cypher result projection host-bridges only its row-wise entity-text formatting. This makes whole-entity `RETURN n`, `LIMIT`/`SKIP`, whole-row `DISTINCT`, single-entity `WHERE`, and multi-column projections work end-to-end on Polars (polars-typed results), validated by differential parity vs pandas (`graphistry/tests/compute/gfql/test_engine_polars_row_pipeline.py`) and benchmarked (`benchmarks/gfql/cypher_row_pipeline.py`) — Polars wins 1.4–5.2× where traversal or pre-projection reduction dominates at ~1M nodes (neutral on full-table projection, which the bridge still dominates). Expression-engine row ops (`select`, `with_`, `return_` projection lists, `order_by`, `where_rows`, `group_by`, `unwind`) and multi-entity `rows(binding_ops=…)` raise `NotImplementedError` for now (use `engine='pandas'`). +- **GFQL native Polars engine — cypher row pipeline (`engine='polars'`)**: Extended the Polars engine to the full Cypher `MATCH … RETURN` row surface. `chain_polars` splits boundary `call()` ops (mirroring the pandas `_handle_boundary_calls`), running the traversal natively and then the trailing row-pipeline calls.

The Cypher result projection likewise host-bridges only its row-wise entity-text formatting. So the whole cypher row surface — whole-entity `RETURN n`, `LIMIT`/`SKIP`, `DISTINCT`, single- and cross-entity `WHERE`, property/multi-column projection, `ORDER BY`, aggregation, `UNWIND`, multi-entity — works end-to-end on `engine='polars'` with polars-typed results, validated by differential parity vs pandas (`graphistry/tests/compute/gfql/test_engine_polars_row_pipeline.py`) and benchmarked (`benchmarks/gfql/cypher_row_pipeline.py`): native frame-op queries win ~1.4–5.9× at 1M nodes, and the bridged expression ops are competitive-to-faster (no regression vs pandas). Native lowering of the bridged expression ops is a follow-up optimization. ### Changed - **GFQL Cypher parse memoization (perf)**: `parse_cypher` now memoizes its result (LRU over the deterministic lark parse+transform → immutable frozen AST). Repeated identical Cypher queries skip the ~15 ms parse — the dominant per-call cost of small queries (~50% of a Cypher call at 100k rows) — making end-to-end query latency ~1.3–1.7× faster at small/interactive sizes across pandas/polars/cuDF. Safe to share the cached AST: every Cypher AST node is `@dataclass(frozen=True)` and `compile_cypher_query` does not mutate the parsed tree; validation errors still raise and are not cached. diff --git a/benchmarks/gfql/cypher_row_pipeline.py b/benchmarks/gfql/cypher_row_pipeline.py index cfdffdd20a..afa92a155d 100644 --- a/benchmarks/gfql/cypher_row_pipeline.py +++ b/benchmarks/gfql/cypher_row_pipeline.py @@ -34,7 +34,10 @@ import graphistry # (name, cypher) — exercised on both engines via g.gfql(cypher, engine=...) +# Native = frame ops (rows/limit/skip/distinct) run in polars; Bridged = the +# cypher expression engine (select/order_by/group_by) runs host-bridged to pandas.

A real deployment keeps the graph in its engine's native frame type. Pre-convert the graph to polars once (df_to_engine(polars->polars) is a 0ms no-op) and run each engine on its native graph.

Covers forward/reverse/undirected single-hop traversal, directed multi-hop chains, node/edge filter dicts and predicates (lowered to Polars expressions), `edge_match`/`source_node_match`/`destination_node_match`, `target_wave_front`, and alias names; the BFS advances via semi/anti joins (no per-row Python work). Validated by differential parity against the pandas engine (hop + chain test suites plus a randomized fuzzer) and benchmarked vs pandas (`benchmarks/gfql/pandas_vs_polars.py`) — Polars wins at scale (up to ~2.5x on multi-edge chains at millions of edges; crossover ~50–100k rows). Variable-length/multi-hop edges, undirected edges in multi-edge chains, hop labels, and node `query=` raise `NotImplementedError` for now (use `engine='pandas'`). -- **GFQL native Polars engine — cypher row pipeline (`engine='polars'`)**: Extended the Polars engine to the full Cypher `MATCH … RETURN` row surface. `chain_polars` splits boundary `call()` ops (mirroring the pandas `_handle_boundary_calls`), running the traversal natively and then the trailing row-pipeline calls. The frame ops (`rows`, `limit`, `skip`, `distinct`, `drop_cols`) are engine-polymorphic and run natively on Polars (`slice`/`head`/`unique`/`filter`); the cypher expression ops not yet lowered to native Polars (`select`/`with_`/`return_` projection lists, `order_by`, `where_rows`, `group_by`, `unwind`, multi-entity `rows(binding_ops=…)`) run via a correctness-first host-bridge (the graph context is converted to pandas, the row pipeline runs there, and the result is converted back to Polars). The Cypher result projection likewise host-bridges only its row-wise entity-text formatting. So the whole cypher row surface — whole-entity `RETURN n`, `LIMIT`/`SKIP`, `DISTINCT`, single- and cross-entity `WHERE`, property/multi-column projection, `ORDER BY`, aggregation, `UNWIND`, multi-entity — works end-to-end on `engine='polars'` with polars-typed results, validated by differential parity vs pandas (`graphistry/tests/compute/gfql/test_engine_polars_row_pipeline.py`) and benchmarked (`benchmarks/gfql/cypher_row_pipeline.py`): native frame-op queries win ~1.4–5.9× at 1M nodes, and the bridged expression ops are competitive-to-faster (no regression vs pandas). Native lowering of the bridged expression ops is a follow-up optimization. +- **GFQL native Polars engine — cypher row pipeline (`engine='polars'`)**: Extended the Polars engine to the full Cypher `MATCH … RETURN` row surface, natively vectorized. `chain_polars` splits boundary `call()` ops (mirroring the pandas `_handle_boundary_calls`) and runs each trailing row op per-op native-or-bridge. **Native polars** (no pandas round-trip): frame ops (`rows`/`limit`/`skip`/`distinct`/`drop_cols`), `select`/`with_`/`return_` projection (a conservative cypher-expr-AST → `pl.Expr` lowering covering property access, arithmetic, comparison, boolean, literals), `order_by` (`.sort`), `group_by` (`count`/`sum`/`avg`/`min`/`max`), `unwind` (literal-list cross-join), the result projection for property/expr columns, and entity-text `RETURN n` rendering for int/string/bool nodes (`pl.concat_str`). **Host-bridged** (correctness-first, converts to pandas and back) for the long tail: multi-entity `rows(binding_ops=…)`, cross-entity same-path `WHERE` (`DFSamePathExecutor`), float/temporal/nested entity-text, and exotic expressions (CASE/list/map/temporal, `collect` aggregates). Validated by differential parity vs pandas including a TCK-style conformance lane (`test_engine_polars_cypher_conformance.py`: curated corpus + seeded fuzzer + cross-entity WHERE + NULL/3-valued-logic + entity-text escaping) and benchmarked (`benchmarks/gfql/cypher_row_pipeline.py`). **Perf (interleaved, 1M nodes, each engine on its native-frame graph):** polars wins **5.6–38×** across the surface — `RETURN n` ~38×, `ORDER BY` ~17×, `WHERE`+`ORDER BY`+`LIMIT` ~14×, traversals 6–7.5×, projections/aggregations/`DISTINCT` 5.6–6.9×. cuDF/pandas paths untouched. ### Changed - **GFQL Cypher parse memoization (perf)**: `parse_cypher` now memoizes its result (LRU over the deterministic lark parse+transform → immutable frozen AST). Repeated identical Cypher queries skip the ~15 ms parse — the dominant per-call cost of small queries (~50% of a Cypher call at 100k rows) — making end-to-end query latency ~1.3–1.7× faster at small/interactive sizes across pandas/polars/cuDF. Safe to share the cached AST: every Cypher AST node is `@dataclass(frozen=True)` and `compile_cypher_query` does not mutate the parsed tree; validation errors still raise and are not cached.

Per NO-CHEATING (plans/gfql-polars-engine): only a human may consent to a bridge; our job is to see how far native polars goes. - gfql_unified._chain_dispatch: cross-entity (same-path) WHERE on polars now raises NotImplementedError instead of bridging via DFSamePathExecutor. - engine_polars/chain.py: drop dead _bridge_frame/_bridge_graph/ _suffix_needs_base_graph/_BASE_GRAPH_DEPENDENT_CALLS; _run_calls_polars raises NIE for cypher row ops without a native implementation. - engine_polars/projection.py + cypher/result_postprocess.py: result projection renders natively (property/expr columns, int/str/bool node entity-text) or raises NIE for float/temporal/nested/label/multi-entity; drop the pandas_fallback arg and unused pandas import. Tests: rewrite conformance/row-pipeline corpora to native-only parity vs pandas + an explicit DEFERRED list asserting NotImplementedError (not a silent bridge). Reclassify OR-WHERE (where_rows), whole-entity RETURN over float columns, and multi-entity patterns as deferred. dgx-spark (--gpus all): full gfql suite 2860 passed, 0 failed; polars lane 376 passed, 29 skipped.

**GFQL native Polars engine — traversals (`engine='polars'`)**: Added a native, vectorized Polars execution engine for the core GFQL traversals `hop()` and `chain()`, dispatched at the engine boundary so the production pandas/cuDF paths are untouched. `Engine.POLARS` is opt-in (explicit `engine='polars'`); `engine='auto'` with Polars input still coerces to pandas as before. Covers forward/reverse/undirected single-hop traversal, directed multi-hop chains, node/edge filter dicts and predicates (lowered to Polars expressions), `edge_match`/`source_node_match`/`destination_node_match`, `target_wave_front`, and alias names; the BFS advances via semi/anti joins (no per-row Python work). Validated by differential parity against the pandas engine (hop + chain test suites plus a randomized fuzzer) and benchmarked vs pandas (`benchmarks/gfql/pandas_vs_polars.py`) — Polars wins at scale (up to ~2.5x on multi-edge chains at millions of edges; crossover ~50–100k rows). Variable-length/multi-hop edges, undirected edges in multi-edge chains, hop labels, and node `query=` raise `NotImplementedError` for now (use `engine='pandas'`). -- **GFQL native Polars engine — cypher row pipeline (`engine='polars'`)**: Extended the Polars engine to the full Cypher `MATCH … RETURN` row surface, natively vectorized. `chain_polars` splits boundary `call()` ops (mirroring the pandas `_handle_boundary_calls`) and runs each trailing row op per-op native-or-bridge. **Native polars** (no pandas round-trip): frame ops (`rows`/`limit`/`skip`/`distinct`/`drop_cols`), `select`/`with_`/`return_` projection (a conservative cypher-expr-AST → `pl.Expr` lowering covering property access, arithmetic, comparison, boolean, literals), `order_by` (`.sort`), `group_by` (`count`/`sum`/`avg`/`min`/`max`), `unwind` (literal-list cross-join), the result projection for property/expr columns, and entity-text `RETURN n` rendering for int/string/bool nodes (`pl.concat_str`). **Host-bridged** (correctness-first, converts to pandas and back) for the long tail: multi-entity `rows(binding_ops=…)`, cross-entity same-path `WHERE` (`DFSamePathExecutor`), float/temporal/nested entity-text, and exotic expressions (CASE/list/map/temporal, `collect` aggregates). Validated by differential parity vs pandas including a TCK-style conformance lane (`test_engine_polars_cypher_conformance.py`: curated corpus + seeded fuzzer + cross-entity WHERE + NULL/3-valued-logic + entity-text escaping) and benchmarked (`benchmarks/gfql/cypher_row_pipeline.py`). **Perf (interleaved, 1M nodes, each engine on its native-frame graph):** polars wins **5.6–38×** across the surface — `RETURN n` ~38×, `ORDER BY` ~17×, `WHERE`+`ORDER BY`+`LIMIT` ~14×, traversals 6–7.5×, projections/aggregations/`DISTINCT` 5.6–6.9×. cuDF/pandas paths untouched. +- **GFQL native Polars engine — cypher row pipeline (`engine='polars'`)**: Extended the Polars engine to the Cypher `MATCH … RETURN` row surface, natively vectorized. **NO CHEATING:** the polars engine never silently falls back to the pandas engine — every query runs natively on polars or raises an honest `NotImplementedError` pointing at `engine='pandas'` (falling back to pandas would misrepresent pandas performance as polars; only a human may consent to a bridge). `chain_polars` splits boundary `call()` ops (mirroring the pandas `_handle_boundary_calls`) and runs each trailing row op per-op native or raises. **Native polars** (no pandas round-trip): frame ops (`rows`/`limit`/`skip`/`distinct`/`drop_cols`), `select`/`with_`/`return_` projection (a conservative cypher-expr-AST → `pl.Expr` lowering covering property access, arithmetic, comparison, boolean, literals), `order_by` (`.sort`), `group_by` (`count`/`sum`/`avg`/`min`/`max`), `unwind` (literal-list cross-join), the result projection for property/expr columns, and entity-text `RETURN n` rendering for int/string/bool nodes (`pl.concat_str`). **Honestly deferred** (raise `NotImplementedError`, no pandas fallback): multi-entity `rows(binding_ops=…)`, cross-entity same-path `WHERE` (`DFSamePathExecutor`), float/temporal/nested entity-text, and exotic expressions (CASE/list/map/temporal, `collect` aggregates) — these are the forward native-engineering targets. Validated by differential parity vs pandas including a TCK-style conformance lane (`test_engine_polars_cypher_conformance.py`: native-only curated corpus + seeded fuzzer + NULL/3-valued-logic graph + entity-text escaping, plus a `DEFERRED` list asserting deferred queries raise rather than silently bridge) and benchmarked (`benchmarks/gfql/cypher_row_pipeline.py`). **Perf (interleaved, 1M nodes, each engine on its native-frame graph, all fully native):** polars wins **5.6–38×** across the surface — `RETURN n` ~38×, `ORDER BY` ~17×, `WHERE`+`ORDER BY`+`LIMIT` ~14×, traversals 6–7.5×, projections/aggregations/`DISTINCT` 5.6–6.9×. cuDF/pandas paths untouched. ### Changed - **GFQL Cypher parse memoization (perf)**: `parse_cypher` now memoizes its result (LRU over the deterministic lark parse+transform → immutable frozen AST). Repeated identical Cypher queries skip the ~15 ms parse — the dominant per-call cost of small queries (~50% of a Cypher call at 100k rows) — making end-to-end query latency ~1.3–1.7× faster at small/interactive sizes across pandas/polars/cuDF. Safe to share the cached AST: every Cypher AST node is `@dataclass(frozen=True)` and `compile_cypher_query` does not mutate the parsed tree; validation errors still raise and are not cached.
