Description

Updated cudf-polars to support Polars 1.43 and Polars 1.44.

The plan is to support Polars 2 in the next release. And remove all 1.XX version guards.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Expanded compatibility to Polars 1.43 and 1.44.
    • CSV scans without headers now support user-provided column names.
    • Boolean columns can now be cast to strings.
    • Improved support for newer expression formats, schemas, and string operations.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected is_in([]) results when input values include nulls.
    • Improved length aggregation and merge-sorted operation handling.
  • Validation

    • Unsupported unary operations on nested data now fail with clear errors.
    • Multiple-key merge-sorted operations now report unsupported status clearly.

Walkthrough

The change extends Polars compatibility from below 1.43 to below 1.45. It updates dependency constraints, version-aware translation, CSV handling, expression behavior, engine annotations, and GPU test classifications.

Changes

Polars compatibility and expression support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dependency and version support
.pre-commit-config.yaml, conda/environments/*, conda/recipes/cudf-polars/recipe.yaml, dependencies.yaml, python/cudf_polars/pyproject.toml, python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/utils/versions.py
Dependency constraints now allow Polars versions below 1.45. Compatibility matrices include Polars 1.43 and 1.44.
Polars translation and serialization
python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/dsl/expressions/string.py, python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/dsl/expressions/struct.py, python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/dsl/translate.py, python/cudf_polars/tests/dsl/test_serialization.py, python/cudf_polars/tests/test_merge_sorted.py
Translation handles new IR versions, the UInt128 length-sum rewrite, list-based merge keys, and Polars 1.44 struct options. Serialization tests gate newer enum names by Polars version.
Expression and scan behavior
python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/dsl/expressions/boolean.py, python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/dsl/expressions/unary.py, python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/dsl/ir.py, python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/utils/dtypes.py, python/cudf_polars/tests/expressions/*
Empty-haystack membership preserves nulls. Nested unary inputs are rejected. Headerless CSV scans support column_names_overwrite. Boolean-to-string casts are supported. Tests cover these behaviors and concatenated-frame length evaluation.
Engine compatibility and test classifications
python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/engine/{dask,ray,spmd}.py, python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/testing/inject_gpu_engine.py, python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/dsl/to_ast.py
Engine methods document the pending Polars contract alignment. GPU expected failures and skips are updated. An unchanged AST branch is excluded from coverage measurement.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d0fde

Distributed Polars execution can fail before queries run, and affected SQL outer joins can return rows that do not satisfy their join condition. Both regressions should be fixed before merging expanded Polars support.

Not ideal but I thought it necessary because I think the expression polars is translating (ie. concat(...).select(len())) is important enough to users and our benchmarks that we don't want to punt on it and fail or fallback to CPU.

There should be a way I think that we can fallback rather than xfailing this test. I'm leavving that to a follow-up

1334-1338: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Add an optional optimizations keyword to all distributed execute overrides.

Polars 1.43–1.44 passes optimizations when LazyFrame.execute(engine=...) dispatches to DaskEngine.execute, RayEngine.execute, or SPMDEngine.execute. The current methods reject that argument with TypeError before execute_persisted_query runs. Add a keyword-only parameter with a default so existing direct engine.execute(lf) calls remain valid; the current cuDF translator owns plan optimization and does not consume this value.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add a CPU fallback for SQL non-equi LEFT/RIGHT joins.

These paths ignore the inequality condition and can return incorrect query results. Do not only mark the tests as expected failures. Detect these joins during translation and fall back to CPU until the GPU implementation preserves the predicate semantics.

As per coding guidelines, “Unsupported operations must fall back to CPU cleanly (not silently produce wrong results).”
