Rationale for this change
When DataFusion splits a Vortex file into byte ranges, every partition open recomputed the file's natural splits and linearly scanned them to translate its byte range into row boundaries — identical work repeated N times per file, with the layout walks contending on lazily-initialized layout children.
Now the splits are computed once per file (for only the fields the scan references), cached with precomputed assignment bytes so the translation is a binary search, and handed back to the
ScanBuilderso per-partitionprepare()skips its layout walk entirely.What changes are included in this PR?
vortex-datafusion: per-fileNaturalSplitscache (boundaries + sorted assignment bytes), computed under theDashMapentry so concurrent partitions wait for the winner instead of racing the walk.vortex-layout: newScanBuilder::full_file_splits()/with_natural_splits();Splits::Naturalnow holdsArc<[u64]>. FixedRepeatedScan::executeemitting an empty leading split when the row range starts on a natural boundary (the common case for translated ranges).vortex-layoutandvortex-datafusionsuites pass.What APIs are changed? Are there any user-facing changes?
New public
ScanBuilder::full_file_splits()andwith_natural_splits().Splits::Natural's type change is in a private module. No user-facing behavior changes.
