WalkthroughChangesPartitioning request propagation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds downstream partitioning-request metadata for streaming planning. An order request can propagate through an unordered group-by, and key safeguards lack targeted tests, which could mislead future consumers if they rely on this metadata. The change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up because no current consumer uses these requests. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

233-270: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAssert the hint at the
MapFunctionnode in these three tests.
MapFunctionis not in the propagation set of_propagated_child_hints. The downstream sort hint therefore stops athint_sortedand never reachesscan. No merge runs in these three tests, so they pass for the same reason regardless of the downstream sort keys or direction.The names suggest merge behavior that is not exercised. Add an assertion on
hints[hint_sorted]in each test to pin the propagation boundary. Then a future change that addsMapFunctionto the propagation set will fail these tests instead of silently changing behavior.♻️ Example for the incompatible case
hints = collect_partitioning_hints(sort) + assert hints[hint_sorted] == ( + OrderPartitioningHint( + (NamedOrderKey("a", descending=False, nulls_last=False),) + ), + ) assert hints[scan] == ( OrderPartitioningHint((NamedOrderKey("a", descending=True, nulls_last=False),)), )🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

296-491: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAdd fanout cases for direction conflicts and merged strict counts.
Two merge branches are not covered:
- Same key name with different sort direction at a fanout point.
_merge_hintscompares fullNamedOrderKeytuples, somake_sort(scan, "a")andmake_sort(scan, "a", descending=(True,))under oneUnionmust stay two candidates. No test pins that._merge_strict_key_countwith two non-Nonecounts. Every current test reaches it with at most one count set, so themaxbehavior is untested.As per coding guidelines, tests need "Missing edge case coverage (empty, all-null, single-element, mixed types)"; mixed sort directions are the mixed case here.

120-134: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider restricting order-hint propagation through
GroupBy.An
OrderPartitioningHinton aGroupBynode states that the group-by output must be ordered. Propagating it unchanged to the child states that the group-by input must be ordered.That implication holds only if the group-by preserves key order. If
maintain_orderisFalse, the output order is unspecified, so an ordered input does not produce an ordered output. A later consumer that trusts this hint can skip a required sort.Two options: propagate the order hint through
GroupByonly whenmaintain_orderisTrue, or downgrade it to aStrictPartitioningHintover the remapped key names otherwise.♻️ Sketch of the restricted propagation

I think this needs a bunch of exposition to explain what a partitioning hint is, and how they are to be used.

I think I am confused by the grammar of these docstrings. For example "Hint that upstream rows should be ordered". I read as "Let the person looking at this know that there should be an applied ordering, but there might not be".
But I don't think that's the intention.

Is it that you say: aha, if we're doing a join, it might be the case that we decide to do that via shuffle join, in which case the downstream might be partitioned in some way?

Thanks for the review Lawrence! Your questions made it very clear to me that the term Hint was a terrible choice on my end. Sorry about that!
I decided to shift the language to: collect_partitioning_requests/PartitioningRequest. Hopefully that makes more sense?
These are not "hints" about the partitioning of the data at some point in time. Rather, they are non-binding "requests" for a specific partitioning from down-stream operations. The idea is to attach information that will help us make better partitioning decisions at runtime (an maybe even planning time).

Why do you need to reverse this post traversal? This is then the same as the pre-traversal (or just traversal except that you see children right to left rather than left to right), no?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Yeah, this tripped me up at first. This is equivalent to pre-order for a tree, but not for a DAG with shared nodes.
For example, in Union(Sort(proj, "a"), Sort(proj, "b")) where proj has a child scan, normal traversal can visit proj after the first sort but before the second sort. Since traversal de-duplicates nodes, proj is not revisited after the second sort records its request, so only one request is propagated to scan.
Reverse post-order avoids that by visiting the shared proj node only after all downstream paths that reference it have had a chance to record requests on it.

166-187: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAdd negative cases for the two suppression guards.
The source skips requests for
Crossjoins and forGroupBywithmaintain_order=True. No test covers either branch. A regression that removes either guard passes this suite. Add one test with aCrossjoin and one withmaintain_order=True, and assert that no request reaches the child.As per path instructions "Missing edge case coverage (empty, all-null, single-element, mixed types)".

Adds a small planning pass that collects downstream partitioning requests for each IR node during streaming actor-graph construction.
These requests do not describe the current layout of a node’s output. Instead, they record layouts that downstream consumers may benefit from if an upstream producer can provide them cheaply. This gives future actor-graph logic a clean place to ask questions like “would a downstream sort/groupby/join benefit if this input were ordered or strictly partitioned on these keys?”
Currently this PR only collects and tests the request metadata. Follow-up PRs will consume these requests in specific actors.
Closes #23705
