🪭 Claude (einfold): This is the last PR for #97, following the design in #99, on top of #100 and #101. Demo 1's control is the Nadaraya–Watson estimator, a Gaussian-kernel weighted average used in regridding. It weights each source point by exp(-dist²/h²) of its distance to a target point, over a CROSS JOIN of the two, and averages the sources' values with those weights. Its scores aren't a SUM of products, so the pipeline rule didn't find it, and DataFusion ran a cross join of every pair. Now the query from #97, unchanged, plans as:

EinFoldExec: a ; b -> a,b of (-((power((#0.1 - #1.1), 2) + power((#0.2 - #1.2), 2))) / 0.25); softmax(over joined rows) * b -> a

What changes

  • One analysis for both kinds of fold. The fold analysis is now fold_over: the SUM of a value over an inner join, grouped by keys. The value is a product of one factor per side, as before, or, for a pipeline's scores, a row expression.
    • The largest parts of the expression that read one side, and may be computed on every row of it, become columns of that side's operand. The host computes them below the join, as it does factors.
    • The rest must be operators of the closed set, on DOUBLEs. None of these raises an error in DataFusion, and power needs a positive constant exponent.
    • Plain folds still take products only, since the dense and discrimination algorithms compute einsums only.
  • Pipeline detection finds such scores in three shapes:
    • a SUM of a row expression, such as SUM(-power(q.x - k.x, 2)) over a coordinate d;
    • weights computed on each pair of a join with no equalities, such as the control's CROSS JOIN. Each pair's one row is its score. Two rows for one pair would be two weights, and the fused algorithm declines that when it places each pair;
    • unshifted weights that DataFusion merged into their scores' projection, exp(SUM(…)) directly over the aggregate. Attention's exp(s) spelling can take this shape too.
  • EXPLAIN shows a row expression after the fold's outputs. A separate commit drops a stray comma from softmax(, over joined rows).

Speed. On the control, the whole query runs from Arrow rows to Arrow rows:

targets × sources einfold DataFusion
1,024 × 4,096 0.039 s 0.065 s
4,096 × 4,096 0.133 s 0.253 s
4,096 × 16,384 0.53 s 1.83 s

That's 1.7–3.4×, far below attention's margin. Neither side gets a matrix product here, and about 70% of einfold's time is libm's pow and exp. Those are the functions DataFusion calls, so they give its bits. Replacing power(x, 2) with x * x would differ from pow in rare cases. The second commit on #101 removed per-pair branching in the evaluator, which took 0.62 s down to 0.53 s at the largest size. The machine has 6 cores and 12 threads.

The tests check these invariants

  • Detection (einfold_finds_pipelines_and_changes_no_answer, 600 cases locally) now also draws kernel smoothers:

    • exp(-power(q.x - k.x, 2) / 0.5) or exp(-abs(q.x - k.x) * 2), over a CROSS JOIN of one coordinate per point;
    • exp(SUM(-power(q.x - k.x, 2))) summed over every coordinate.

    They're drawn with the same masks as attention, bands included. Each must be found as a pipeline, run fused on complete tables, and give DataFusion's rows and values.

  • The control as reported (the_nadaraya_watson_control_fuses): the query from Demo 1's control, the Nadaraya–Watson estimator, isn't fused #97, with 64 targets and 256 sources in two coordinates, fuses and gives DataFusion's averages to within 1e-12.

Fixes #97.

After CodeRabbit's review

  • The temporary projection that merges weights with their scores keeps the weight column's own name, so a key named s no longer fails the query.
  • merged_weights takes a projection only beside exactly one score column. The property test has a look-alike that shows both a score and its weight.

Walkthrough

The fold detector now supports selected Float64 row expressions in addition to products. Pipeline detection uses this support to recognize exponential pair scores, including scores over joins without equality keys. Tests add Nadaraya–Watson kernel smoothing cases and compare fused output with DataFusion.

Changes: Expression-Based Score Pipeline Detection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Row-expression fold analysis
crates/einfold-datafusion/src/detect_folds.rs
The fold detector encodes supported Float64 operations and extracts movable side-local values for expression folds. Product-only detection remains available through the existing fold call.
Pipeline score recognition
crates/einfold-datafusion/src/detect_pipelines.rs
Score detection enables expression folds. Weight detection adds recognition for exponential scores over aggregates and joins without equality conditions.
Descriptions and Nadaraya–Watson validation
crates/einfold-datafusion/src/fold_node.rs, crates/einfold-datafusion/src/pipeline_node.rs, crates/einfold-datafusion/tests/detect_pipelines.rs
Descriptions distinguish expression rows and list softmax options. Tests add kernel smoother cases and compare fused two-coordinate Gaussian results with DataFusion.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review df601

Kernel smoothing has no additional established failure here, but a session that replaces exp can receive different query results from a fused plan. Resolve or explicitly accept that risk before merging.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to df601

The change broadens optimization within the existing query-execution boundary without demonstrating new privileges or cross-service access. Restricted expression handling and host-plan fallback limit the identified exposure. Downstream use with untrusted queries remains unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated exposure is additional query shapes reaching the existing fused executor in sessions using the installed planner. The inspected caller chain does not introduce an identity transition or service handoff; external tenant-controlled query exposure is not established by this checkout.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Expression lowering accepts a restricted numeric operator set, with positive constant exponents for cross-input power expressions. Single-input subexpressions must return Float64 and pass the existing recursive movement check. Unsupported forms decline lowering, limiting which computations move below the join.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Earlier source inspection traced repeated input-key tuples to duplicate dense-cell rejection. The fused kernel declines such inputs, and the pipeline executor uses the saved host plan when available, rather than overwriting duplicate cells. This is static evidence of failure containment, not runtime verification.

Explanation

The description is detailed and covers the user-facing change, design decisions, testing, performance, issue reference, and known scope limits. It does not use all template headings exactly, but it provides the required information in equivalent sections.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#97] requires Demo 1's unchanged Nadaraya–Watson control to fuse. The reviewed head adds pair_weights detection for exp scores over an inner join with no equality conditions, and it analyzes the pair score with fold_over. The reviewed tests add the_nadaraya_watson_control_fuses, which runs the control with 64 targets and 256 sources in two coordinates, checks fused_pipelines=1, and compares the fused result with DataFusion within 1e-12. The property test also covers cross-join and summed-distance kernel scores.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed fold analysis supports row-expression scores while preserving product-only plain folds. The pipeline changes support pair scores, merged weights, and the existing score shapes needed for [#97]. The plan-description changes expose the new row expression and correct option separators. The added property and control tests verify detection and DataFusion-equivalent results. These changes support the linked issue and do not establish unrelated scope.

🌀 Claude: I tested this stack (5ee2256, which includes #98) from xarray-sql's demo 1. Setup: ddxdb 0.4.5, datafusion 55.0.0, DuckDB 1.5.6, on an i7-8700 (6 cores, 12 threads). Other builds had the machine loaded (load average 10–14), so the times are upper bounds. The ratios matched an idle run on the earlier build.

Demo 1 passes on all three hosts. Every step matches JAX to within 2e-15, in both spellings, forward and gradient, at 64, 256 and 1,024 tokens. The infinity check passes, and so does the Nadaraya–Watson control.

Against docs/demos.md's success criteria:

criterion result
Memory The N×N scores are never stored. At 32,768 tokens they would be 4.3 GB; the peak RSS grows 0.37 GB. Growth is linear in N: +0.17 GB at 4,096 tokens and +0.24 GB at 16,384. That's not yet shown to be constant beyond the inputs and the output.
Masks Causal: 131.3K of 262.1K tile pairs visited at 32,768 tokens. A 512-token band at 16,384 tokens visits 2.27K of 65.5K, about N·w/64². Its time is 0.18 s at 16,384 tokens and 0.39 s at 32,768, against 0.69 s causal and 0.99 s unmasked at 16,384.
Correct: error bound With scores up to ±196, against an 80-bit reference, einfold's error is 1.7e-14, DataFusion's 1.5e-14 and DuckDB's 2.2e-14. At ±5 and ±49, all three agree within 1.5×.
Correct: special values Demo 1's check passes: a +inf in V reaches exactly the queries at or after its token.
Correct: determinism Bit-identical at target_partitions 1, 2, 6 and 12, causal and banded.
Fast At 1,024 tokens, 19–40 ms against 1.8–5.3 s on the engines' naive plans.
Found, not told Both spellings plan to one EinFoldExec. 13 variants fuse and match numpy: every band spelling from #98, a band with no causal mask, abs(q.t - k.t) < 32, anti-causal, no mask, an unshifted exp(s), * 0.125, and both normalizers. The control fuses unchanged, through xarray-sql's own table scans too.

The control, through xarray-sql:

targets × sources einfold DataFusion DuckDB
64 × 256 (demo 1) 0.025 s 0.025 s 0.011 s
1,024 × 4,096 0.104 s 0.167 s 0.483 s
4,096 × 16,384 1.15 s 4.72 s 5.78 s

einfold's error is 2.2e-15 against numpy, where both engines' is 1.7e-14. At demo 1's own size, the fixed cost per query outweighs the kernel, so DuckDB is faster there.

Outside demo 1's criteria, the gradient isn't fused yet, which is M3. At 1,024 tokens it takes 4.1–4.3 s, against 7.6–9.1 s on DataFusion and 9.9–12.4 s on DuckDB.

merged_weights can accept a raw score column as the weight.

merged_weights replaces the exp(...) expression with its argument and passes the result to scores(). scores() accepts more than one plain sum column, and each one is recorded as None, the weight slot. When the original projection outputs the raw sum next to exp(sum), the merged columns has two None entries.

pipeline accepts the weight column when its columns entry is Some(None). A query that uses the raw score as the weight, such as SUM(s * v.x) / SUM(s), passes that check. The fused node then treats the raw score as the weight, which is exp of the score. The answer can differ from the host plan.

Accept the projection only when exactly one output column is a score:

🪭 Claude (einfold): Fixed: merged_weights declines unless exactly one of the scores' columns isn't a key. The property test now has the look-alike you describe: weights exposing both s and exp(s), with SUM(weights.s * v.x) / SUM(weights.w), expected to decline. It passed even before the fix, because detection declines that plan on another path, so the guard keeps merged_weights safe on its own.

Add duplicate-key coverage to a kernel property case.

register generates unique keys and finite, non-NULL values. The new kernel cases therefore do not exercise duplicate pairs, NULL factors, or NaN coordinates. Add a kernel case with repeated target or source keys that either declines or matches DataFusion within the existing 1e-12 tolerance. The deterministic control does not need this input.

🪭 Claude (einfold): Covered by the property test rather than the control. Since #72, einfold_finds_pipelines_and_changes_no_answer damages one of q, k and v in 30% of cases, and one kind of damage is a repeated row, which repeats a key. Its kernel-smoother cases, over a CROSS JOIN with exp(-power(q.x - k.x, 2.0) / 0.5) and the rest, run on those tables like every other query: they must decline or give DataFusion's rows. I've left the_nadaraya_watson_control_fuses as it is, a hand test of the fused path.

- Around line 396-397: Update the synthetic projection in merged_weights to
alias the weight expression with the weight column’s existing output name
instead of the fixed name "s". Ensure the temporary projection retains distinct
unqualified field names when another projected key is already named "s".
- Around line 384-385: Update both `Expr::ScalarFunction` matchers that
recognize `exp` to verify the function object is the built-in `exp`, not just a
function with that name; preserve the existing argument-count checks and ensure
registered UDFs are not rewritten as exponential weights.

Match the built-in exp function by identity.

If a session registers a different scalar UDF named exp, these matchers still classify its result as an exponential weight. The fused pipeline computes an exponential instead of the registered function, so its answer can differ from the host query. DataFusion 55.2.0 allows registration to replace a function with the same name, and ScalarFunction retains the function object for an identity check. Apply that check to both new matchers. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

As per path instructions, “above all check that a rewrite can't change a query's answer.”

🪭 Claude (einfold): I've kept the name, for the reason in #98's abs thread: einfold for Python receives every function through datafusion-python's FFI as a foreign wrapper, so a check of the function's type would never match there, and pipelines would stop fusing from Python. Detection matches functions by name throughout. A function registered under a built-in's name is the risk #111 tracks.

@alxmrs Understood. Given the foreign-function interface (FFI) wrapper constraint you describe, a concrete Rust-type check is not a suitable fix for Python pipelines. My recommendation missed that constraint.

I won’t press for that change here. The function-name collision risk remains unresolved, with #111 tracking it.

…n kernel's

Demo 1's control, the Nadaraya-Watson estimator, weights each source
point by exp(-dist²/h²) of its distance to a target point, over a CROSS
JOIN of the two, and averages the sources' values with those weights. Its
scores aren't a SUM of products, so the pipeline rule didn't find it, and
DataFusion ran it as a cross join of every pair (#97).

The fold analysis is now fold_over: the SUM of a value over an inner join,
grouped by keys, where the value is a product of one factor per side or,
for a pipeline's scores, a row expression. Each largest part of the
expression that reads one side and may move below the join becomes a
column of that side's operand; the rest must be operators of the closed
set, on DOUBLEs, none of which raises an error in DataFusion. Pipeline
detection finds such scores in three shapes:

- a SUM of a row expression, such as SUM(-power(q.x - k.x, 2)) over a
  coordinate;
- weights computed on each pair of a join with no equalities, such as the
  control's CROSS JOIN, where each pair's one row is its score;
- unshifted weights that DataFusion merged into their scores' projection,
  exp(SUM(...)) over the aggregate, which attention's exp(s) can become too.

EXPLAIN shows a row expression after the fold's outputs.

Fixes #97.

🪭 Claude (einfold)

Makes einfold for Python releasable, and sets its first version,
`0.1.0rc1`: a release candidate, for xarray-sql (an XQL Systems project
that queries Xarray datasets with SQL) to acceptance-test before a
release. Stacked on #108, the top of the stack, so that the candidate
has everything up to it.

## Decisions to review

- **How a release happens**
([workflow](https://github.com/xqlsystems/einfold/blob/release/python-0.1.0rc1/.github/workflows/release-python.yml),
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/xqlsystems/einfold/blob/release/python-0.1.0rc1/CONTRIBUTING.md#releasing-the-python-package)).
Pushing a tag `python-v<version>` that matches `python/pyproject.toml`
builds the wheels, tests each as a user would install it, and publishes
them to PyPI, and to a GitHub release marked a pre-release when the
version is one. It uses PyPI's trusted publishing, so there's no token
to store. **One step is yours:** on PyPI, add a "pending publisher" for
the project `einfold`, with owner `xqlsystems`, repository `einfold`,
workflow `release-python.yml` and environment `pypi`. I've created the
`pypi` environment on GitHub. You could also add yourself as a required
reviewer on that environment, so that each publish waits for your click.
- **Platforms.** One abi3 wheel per platform, serving Python 3.10 and
up: Linux x86_64 and aarch64 (manylinux 2.28), and macOS arm64 and
x86_64. **Not Windows yet:** the tests use Unix's `resource` module, and
an untested wheel shouldn't ship. Tests run on Python 3.10 and 3.13.
- **The README's "What it finds"** now lists what the stack detects:
weights other than a softmax's (#107), row-expression scores such as a
Gaussian kernel's (#102), and banded masks (#98). Five new Python tests
check each of these claims through the built wheel.
- **`pip install --pre`** in the README, while einfold is in
pre-release.

## How it is tested

- All 22 Python tests pass against a locally built `0.1.0rc1` wheel. The
five new tests (window and `abs` bands, sigmoid weights, a chain of two
products, a Gaussian smoother) each check that the rows match
DataFusion's, and that einfold ran a fused pipeline.
- `actionlint` and shellcheck pass on the workflow. This pull request
changes the workflow, so it builds and tests every wheel here without
publishing.

## Not in this pull request

- Windows wheels.
- The "How fast" table hasn't been re-measured. The release candidate's
acceptance tests are what will check it.

## After CodeRabbit's review

- **After review:** macOS wheels build on macOS 15, arm64 and Intel, and
each is tested on its platform. A newer push supersedes a pull request's
run, and a tag's run is never cancelled. CONTRIBUTING.md documents
PyPI's one-time trusted-publisher setup. The Python crate's root holds
only modules: the allocator, the capsule helpers, `EinFold` and each
codec have a module of their own.
