Walkthrough

This pull request introduces repository guidance rules and implements memory-mapped file support for the datafusion-cli object storage layer. New guidance rules were added to .cursor/rules.md and AGENTS.md restricting AI agents from referencing GitHub issues or reviewing other AI agents' configuration files. Dependencies (bytes, memmap2, and tempfile) were added to datafusion-cli/Cargo.toml. A new MmapObjectStore implementation was created in datafusion-cli/src/object_storage/mmap.rs that provides memory-mapped reads of local filesystem files with in-memory caching and range request support. The get_object_store function in datafusion-cli/src/object_storage.rs was modified to use this new store for the "file" scheme.

Code Review

This pull request introduces MmapObjectStore to datafusion-cli, which leverages memory mapping for zero-copy reads of local files to improve performance. It also updates AI agent guidelines in .cursor/rules.md and AGENTS.md. Key feedback includes resolving duplicated text in the documentation, ensuring cross-platform compatibility for file paths, avoiding blocking I/O operations within asynchronous functions, and eliminating redundant metadata calls to optimize performance.

The implementation of to_fs_path is not cross-platform. Hardcoding a leading / and using string concatenation for paths will fail on Windows and may not correctly resolve relative paths. Consider using PathBuf methods or leveraging LocalFileSystem's internal path resolution if possible.

The get_mmap function performs blocking I/O operations (File::open, metadata, and Mmap::map) within an asynchronous context. This can block the Tokio executor threads, which is generally discouraged in async Rust. Consider using tokio::task::spawn_blocking for these operations.

This call to self.local.head(location).await? is redundant. get_mmap already opens the file and retrieves its metadata. You can obtain the file size directly from bytes.len() and potentially refactor get_mmap to return the modification time as well, avoiding an extra stat call. This also applies to the call on line 217.

Code Review: mmap-based ObjectStore for local files

Summary: The implementation is well-structured -- clean separation of concerns, good use of parking_lot::RwLock, and solid test coverage. A few issues are worth addressing before merging.

Bugs and Correctness:

  1. Cache invalidated before multipart upload completes. In put_opts, cache invalidation correctly happens only on success. But in put_multipart_opts, the cache is evicted before the operation even starts. A concurrent reader could re-populate the cache with stale bytes between the invalidate and the actual write. Invalidation should happen after the upload completes.

  2. check_range does not validate start <= end. check_range only checks range.end > size. If range.start > range.end, the subsequent bytes.slice(range) call panics at runtime. The guard should also check range.start > range.end.

  3. Silent truncation on usize::try_from failure. In multiple range-conversion sites the code does unwrap_or(0) or unwrap_or(size). On a 32-bit platform or with a very large range value this silently clamps instead of returning an error, producing incorrect reads with no observable signal. Prefer returning an ObjectStoreError on conversion failure.

  4. copy_opts unconditionally invalidates both paths. self.invalidate(to) runs even when the copy fails, evicting a potentially valid cached entry for to. Both invalidate calls should be conditional on result.is_ok().

Performance:

  1. self.local.head() called on every get_opts read. Even on a cache hit, self.local.head(location).await? fires a stat syscall on every get_opts call. Caching ObjectMeta alongside Bytes would eliminate this overhead and better deliver on the zero-copy promise.

  2. Unbounded cache growth. There is no eviction policy. A CLI session that queries many large files will keep all of them mapped in memory indefinitely. This should at minimum be documented as a known limitation.

Portability:

  1. Unix-only path construction. to_fs_path hardcodes / as the root prefix, which breaks on Windows. Consider rooting LocalFileSystem with new_with_prefix("/") and delegating all path resolution to it.

Safety:

  1. Thin safety comment on the mmap block. The comment says files won't be truncated but this is not enforced at runtime. An external process can truncate the file at any time, causing SIGBUS and aborting the process. The comment should state this risk explicitly, and a doc-comment on the struct itself would help callers understand the contract they accept.

Test Coverage Gaps:

  • No tests for GetRange::Offset and GetRange::Suffix variants in get_opts
  • No test for copy_opts cache invalidation
  • No test for put_multipart_opts
  • test_delete_invalidates_cache: the file is still held open by _tmp; on Linux the inode survives until NamedTempFile is dropped, so this exercises cache eviction but not real file-removal semantics

Minor:

  • The Debug impl acquires a read lock to print cache_entries -- fine for debugging, but can block under write contention.
  • get_ranges takes a slice of Range and silently clamps on conversion failure (same issue as item 3); tests hide this because test files are small.

GetRange::Offset past EOF causes panic in slice

High Severity

When GetRange::Offset(o) is used with an offset larger than the file size, the computed range becomes start..size where start > size. check_range only validates range.end > size and misses the start > end case, so the invalid range passes validation. Bytes::slice then panics on the assertion begin <= end. The object_store trait contract specifies this case returns an error. Using GetRange::as_range(len) instead of manual range computation would handle all variants correctly.

Bounded range past EOF errors instead of truncating

Medium Severity

The ObjectStore trait contract for GetRange::Bounded states: "If the range ends after the end of the object, the entire remainder of the object will be returned." However, check_range rejects any range where end > size, returning an error instead of truncating. This behavioral difference from LocalFileSystem may cause unexpected failures for callers that rely on the documented truncation semantics.

Unrelated AI reviewer rules added to config files

Medium Severity

The PR adds rules to AGENTS.md and a new .cursor/rules.md file that instruct AI agents to not link to issues/PRs and to not review config files. These additions are completely unrelated to the mmap object store feature and are duplicated (the same two rules appear twice in AGENTS.md). This appears to be accidentally included or injected content that manipulates AI code review behavior.

569-572: Reuse an existing file:// store before creating a new one.

datafusion-cli/src/exec.rs calls get_object_store on each registration path, so this branch always replaces any previously registered file:// store and its mmap cache. Checking state.runtime_env().object_store_registry.get_store(url) first would preserve existing local-store configuration and avoid resetting the cache on repeated registrations.

In `@datafusion-cli/src/object_storage/mmap.rs`:
- Around line 119-137: The check_range function (fn check_range(range:
&Range<usize>, size: usize, location: &Path)) currently only checks range.end >
size but not reversed ranges; update it to first validate range.start <=
range.end and return an ObjectStoreError::Generic (same style as the existing
error) when range.start > range.end, then keep the existing end > size check;
also add regression tests that exercise GetRange::Bounded(10..5) and
GetRange::Offset(size + 1) to ensure they return an ObjectStoreError rather than
causing a panic (these tests should call the same MmapObjectStore path that
ultimately uses check_range).
- Around line 100-107: The unsafe use of Mmap::map in the MmapObjectStore block
must be guarded against external mutations; update the mapping logic so you
first attempt to ensure stability (e.g., try acquiring an OS-level lock on the
opened File via libc::flock or similar) and only call the unsafe Mmap::map when
the lock succeeds (or when the caller explicitly indicates the file is trusted);
if you cannot obtain a lock or trust guarantee, avoid mmap entirely and fall
back to a safe buffered read (read the file into a Vec<u8> / Bytes via
read_to_end and return Bytes::from) so SIGBUS is impossible. Ensure you handle
and propagate errors consistently (preserve the existing
ObjectStoreError::Generic wrapping), and update the code paths that currently
return Bytes::from_owner(mmap) to instead return Bytes::from(buffer) for the
safe-read fallback; reference the Mmap::map call, Bytes::from_owner, and the
MmapObjectStore mapping block to locate and change the code.
- Around line 65-68: The current to_fs_path function prepends a hard-coded "/"
which breaks Windows paths; change it to construct a PathBuf from the
object_store::Path without adding a POSIX-only prefix (e.g. use
std::path::Path::new(location.as_ref()).to_path_buf()) so the OS-native path is
preserved, and if available prefer delegating to
object_store::local::LocalFileSystem's path conversion API instead of manual
formatting; update the to_fs_path function accordingly and test on Windows.

Use OS-aware path conversion instead of hard-coded / prefix.

to_fs_path unconditionally prepends / to create filesystem paths, assuming POSIX semantics. On Windows, local files like C:/data/file.parquet become /C:/data/file.parquet, which is invalid and will fail at runtime when std::fs::File::open() is called (line 81). The object_store crate's LocalFileSystem already implements correct cross-platform path conversion—use that same approach here instead of manual string formatting. This requires testing and validation on Windows.

🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

What are the safety requirements for memmap2::Mmap::map on file-backed mappings if the underlying file can be modified or truncated after the mapping is created?

💡 Result:

memmap2::Mmap::map is unsafe for file-backed mappings because you must guarantee that the backing file will not be modified while the mapping is alive (whether by your process or any other process). If the file can be modified/truncated concurrently, using the resulting Mmap can cause Undefined Behavior (UB) in Rust. [1]

Concretely, your safety obligations include:

  • No concurrent writes that change the mapped bytes (including “in-place” edits) for the lifetime of the mapping; you must arrange this via OS/file-system mechanisms (e.g., permissions, locks, or using a process-private/unlinked file), as appropriate for your platform. [1]
  • No truncation (shrinking) of the file while the mapping is in use. On POSIX systems, if the file is truncated so the mapping extends past the new end-of-file, then accessing pages beyond the new EOF may raise SIGBUS (and this kind of asynchronous fault is one of the practical hazards behind the Rust-level unsafety). [2][3]

The unsafe mmap safety invariant is not enforced against external mutations.

The code assumes files remain immutable after mapping (see comment on line 100), but this invariant is never enforced. While cache invalidation correctly handles mutations through the MmapObjectStore API (writes, copies, deletes), nothing prevents external processes from truncating or modifying the file. Accessing a truncated file via mmap causes SIGBUS on POSIX systems, violating Rust's safety contract. The read-only file handle only prevents this process from writing; it does not prevent other processes from doing so.

Either restrict which files can be mapped (e.g., require write permission to guarantee sole ownership, use OS-level locks, or store paths in a read-only filesystem), or fall back to safe buffered reads for untrusted file sources.

use of Mmap::map in the MmapObjectStore block must be guarded against external
mutations; update the mapping logic so you first attempt to ensure stability
(e.g., try acquiring an OS-level lock on the opened File via libc::flock or
similar) and only call the unsafe Mmap::map when the lock succeeds (or when the
caller explicitly indicates the file is trusted); if you cannot obtain a lock or
trust guarantee, avoid mmap entirely and fall back to a safe buffered read (read
the file into a Vec<u8> / Bytes via read_to_end and return Bytes::from) so
SIGBUS is impossible. Ensure you handle and propagate errors consistently
(preserve the existing ObjectStoreError::Generic wrapping), and update the code
paths that currently return Bytes::from_owner(mmap) to instead return
Bytes::from(buffer) for the safe-read fallback; reference the Mmap::map call,
Bytes::from_owner, and the MmapObjectStore mapping block to locate and change
the code.

Add validation for reversed ranges in check_range.

The function only validates end > size but misses the case where start > end. Invalid requests like GetRange::Bounded(10..5) or GetRange::Offset(size + 1) construct reversed ranges that pass validation but cause bytes::Bytes::slice() to panic instead of returning an ObjectStoreError. Add the check for range.start > range.end and include regression tests for both cases.

         range: &Range<usize>,
         size: usize,

🤖 Augment PR Summary

Summary: This PR adds a new memory-mapped local file object store to the DataFusion CLI to enable zero-copy reads from the OS page cache.

Changes:

  • Introduces MmapObjectStore, an ObjectStore implementation that mmaps local files on first access and caches the mappings.
  • Routes the file scheme in the CLI object store selection to MmapObjectStore.
  • Delegates metadata/conditional GETs and all non-read operations to LocalFileSystem, invalidating the mmap cache on writes/deletes/copies.
  • Adds unit tests covering full reads, ranged reads, multi-range reads, cache hits, cache invalidation, and not-found behavior.
  • Adds new dependencies needed for mmap and tests (memmap2, bytes, tempfile).
  • Adds an editor/agent rules file (non-functional codebase behavior).

Technical Notes: The mmap cache is keyed by filesystem path and stores Bytes backed by memmap2::Mmap to avoid extra copies during reads.
