bug
The negation pushdown deliberately refuses to complement ordering
comparisons, because IEEE-754 makes every ordered comparison against a NaN
false, so NOT(a < b) is true exactly where a >= b is false. The stats
converter still complemented them one layer down: NOT(col < lit) became
col >= lit and then vmax >= lit.
For a row group holding {NaN, 1.0, 2.0} and lit = 50, the NaN row satisfies
NOT(col < 50), yet vmax >= 50 is false and the row group is pruned. cudf
files are immune because the writer drops min/max entirely when a NaN is
seen (PARQUET-1246), but Arrow writes min/max that merely exclude NaN -
pyarrow 23 yields min=1.0, max=2.0 for that chunk - so the hole is live for
Arrow-written files.
Give the converter the column data types and skip the rewrite for floating
point columns, relaxing instead. Equality is unaffected: NaN == x is false
and NaN != x is true, so those stay exact complements.
Costs pruning only for negated ordering comparisons on float columns, which
is what the existing ParquetPredicatePushdownTestAST expectation for
NOT(col0 < 100) OR IS_NULL(col0) now records.
Reported by @vuule.
The guard added for negated ordering comparisons was not sufficient. The
NOT_EQUAL leaf is unsound for the same reason and involves no negation at
all:
col != val --> vmin != vmax OR vmax != val
A chunk of {NaN, val} reports min == max == val, because Arrow and
parquet-mr both skip NaN when updating min/max, and is therefore
indistinguishable from a constant-val chunk. The transform prunes exactly
that shape - but NaN != val is true, so its NaN rows do satisfy the filter
and are dropped. This also reaches NOT(col == val), which the normalizer
complements into col != val.
Reproduced on a two row group pyarrow file [NaN, 5.0 | 7.0, 8.0] filtered
by x != 5.0: the first row group is pruned and only [7.0, 8.0] comes back.
Relax the leaf for floating point columns. The reader cannot be more
precise: the Parquet Statistics struct carries null_count, distinct_count
and the min/max exactness flags, but nothing about NaN, so a NaN-free chunk
is indistinguishable from one whose NaN was skipped. Costs pruning for
col != val on float columns only.
The other leaves stay sound because NaN never satisfies them: col < v,
col > v and col == v are all false for NaN, so excluding it from min/max
cannot make them prune a matching row. The unsound cases are exactly the
predicates NaN satisfies.
parquet-mr's DoubleStatistics.updateStats behaving like Arrow here was
confirmed by Paul Mattione, widening this from Arrow-written files to
Spark-written ones as well.
Inlining can_negate_ordering() hoisted the column lookup out of the short-circuit that protected it. extract_binary_operands() only reports a column reference for the `col op lit` and `lit op col` forms; for anything else it returns nullptr, so the unconditional _output_dtypes[binary_operands.col_ref->get_column_index()] dereferences null for any NOT wrapping a comparison neither of whose operands is a bare column, such as NOT((col + 1) > 5). The read is now nested inside the `col op lit` check rather than sitting in the condition alongside it, which is what the short-circuit was doing before. Behaviour is otherwise unchanged. Reproduced with the filter (col_a < 150) AND NOT((col_a + 10) > 50); the first conjunct is what makes a column stats-usable, so the converter is built at all. Covered by ParquetReaderTest.FilterNegationPushdown, which segfaults without this.

Two follow-ups from Lawrence's review of NVIDIA#23580. Call the rewrite by its name. "Negation normal form" is the standard term in mathematical logic for an expression whose negations appear only on atoms, reached by eliminating double negations and applying De Morgan's laws, which is exactly what the normalizer produces. Both class docs now say so. Make transform_operator's mode dispatch exhaustive, so that adding a slot to operator_transform and calling with it fails to compile rather than silently taking the NEGATE branch. The static_assert condition mentions `mode` deliberately: cudf builds as C++20, where a bare static_assert(false) in a discarded if-constexpr branch is ill-formed and fires unconditionally. Keeping the condition value-dependent defers it to instantiation, which is what makes the check fire only for an unhandled mode.

stats_expression_converterdeclares a second_output_dtypesmember incpp/src/io/parquet/stats_filter_helpers.hpp:390, but this constructor initializes only the base-class span. The derived span is therefore empty. Lines 182-183 and 240 index that empty span for negated comparisons and floating-pointNOT_EQUALpredicates. This causes undefined behavior and can produce incorrect row-group filtering.Initialize the derived span, or remove the duplicate member and use the inherited protected span.

Description
This PR relaxes Parquet statistics based pruning for floating-point types to compensate for
NaNs. This is necessary because Arrow and parquet-mr writers omit NaNs from min/max statistics, which could cause stats transforms forNOT(col < lit)andcol != litto incorrectly prune row groups.Checklist
