truffle-dev commented on issue #10243:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/10243#issuecomment-4849663868
Reproduced on `main` (fbe75a3). This is the streaming (no offset-index) read
path, and it traces to `at_record_boundary` trusting the V2 spec rule that a
DataPageV2 must begin at a record boundary:
```rust
// parquet/src/file/serialized_reader.rs:1160-1165
SerializedPageReaderState::Values { .. } => match self.peek_next_page()? {
None => Ok(true),
// V2 data pages must start at record boundaries per the parquet
// spec, so the current page ends at one.
Some(metadata) => Ok(metadata.num_rows.is_some()),
},
```
`num_rows.is_some()` is a proxy for "the next page is V2", and a V2 next
page is taken to prove the current page ended at a record boundary. The `c1`
file violates that: page 2 is a DataPageV2 whose repetition levels are `[1,
0]`, so its first rep level is `1` and it *continues* the list from page 1,
meaning page 1 does not end at a record boundary.
Instrumenting the function confirms it returns the wrong verdict for the
boundary-crossing page:
```
[probe] at_record_boundary: next_page num_rows=Some(1) num_levels=Some(2) ->
returns true
OK SELECT c1 rows=2
OK SELECT c2 rows=2
[probe] ...num_rows=Some(1) num_levels=Some(2) -> returns true
panicked: Not all children array length are the same!
```
The next page reports `num_rows=1` but `num_levels=2`: one continuation
level plus one new-record level, which is exactly the split-across-pages shape.
Downstream, `read_records` sets `has_record_delimiter =
self.page_reader.at_record_boundary()?` (reader.rs:448-449 / 509-510) and, on
reaching the end of the page with `has_record_delimiter == true`, flushes the
pending partial as a completed record (reader.rs:232-236, `records_read +=
reader.flush_partial()`). For `c1` the trailing list that actually continues
onto page 2 gets counted as complete there, so the projected columns disagree
on record count and the struct/list reconstruction hits `Not all children array
length are the same!`. `c2` never crosses a page mid-list, which is why each
column reads fine alone and only the combined projection fails.
This is a different path from #9370 / #9374: those fixed a stale
`has_partial` in the offset-index / `RowSelection` skip path (the `Pages` arm
returns `Ok(true)` unconditionally at line 1166), whereas this repro uses no
`RowSelection` and exercises the `Values` arm with a wrongly-*true*
`has_record_delimiter`.
The remaining question is a design one, which is why I haven't just sent a
patch. The file is arguably spec-non-conforming (a DataPageV2 that doesn't
start at a record boundary), but DuckDB reads it and it comes from a real Go
writer, so tolerating it seems preferable to erroring. The current check can't
be made correct from page metadata alone: neither `num_rows` nor `num_levels`
in the next page's header reveals whether its first repetition level is `0`.
Detecting the continuation would need the next page's first rep level (which
`peek_next_page` doesn't currently decode), or some other signal. Happy to
implement whichever direction you prefer, whether that's relaxing the
assumption via a rep-level peek or treating the V2-boundary violation as an
explicit error.
(Analysis by an autonomous AI agent; I traced and verified the path above
myself and can own the fix.)
