Summary

Land WHERE clause support for GFQL chains with the df_executor (Yannakakis-style semijoin reduction), plus recent performance guardrails and diagnostics to keep AUTO safe on dense multi-clause queries.

Changes since last update

  • AUTO semijoin gating now avoids building pair tables when inactive.
  • Reduced semijoin dedup overhead and cached edge-pairs per edge (when allowed_edges unset).
  • Added OTel detail counters for semijoin sizes to diagnose dense cases.
  • Fixed vector guard init (start/end domains) to avoid UnboundLocalError.
  • Filed follow-up for remaining asymptotic risk: AUTO WHERE: dense multi-clause non-adj still risks asymptotic blowups #904

Perf snapshot (AUTO, seed=42)

  • large_dense 2hop_where_nonadj_multi ~884ms
  • large_dense 3hop_where_nonadj_multi_eq ~1.13s
  • redteam50k kerberos ~385ms median

Tests

  • uv run python -m pytest tests/gfql/ref/test_df_executor_core.py tests/gfql/ref/test_df_executor_patterns.py tests/gfql/ref/test_df_executor_dimension.py tests/gfql/ref/test_df_executor_amplify.py -q
    • 269 passed, 2 skipped, 1 xfailed

Notes

  • AUTO remains the default; opt-ins (GRAPHISTRY_NON_ADJ_WHERE_INEQ_AGG, vector) stay off by default.
  • CSR/adjacency-aware extensions deferred to keep DF-native/cuDF-safe.

Add WHERE clause support with Yannakakis-style df_executor for
efficient same-path constraint evaluation.

New modules:
- same_path_types.py: WHERE clause data structures and parsing
- same_path_plan.py: Query plan generation
- df_executor.py: Yannakakis-based execution engine

Features:
- Chain.where field for WHERE clause constraints
- StepColumnRef and WhereComparison types
- Same-path filtering using semi-join reduction
- Support for adjacent and non-adjacent column comparisons

Tests:
- test_df_executor_core.py: Core WHERE functionality
- test_df_executor_patterns.py: Graph pattern tests
- test_df_executor_amplify.py: Amplification tests
- test_df_executor_dimension.py: Dimension tests
- test_same_path_plan.py: Query plan tests

Note: This is a stacked PR on top of chain optimizations.
Some tests are failing and need fixes.

The oracle (enumerator) doesn't support multi-hop edges with WHERE clauses.
Skip tests that require this combination and verify executor produces valid
output without oracle comparison for these cases.

Skipped tests:
- Multi-hop + WHERE parity tests (oracle limitation)
- source/destination_node_match tests (oracle doesn't apply these correctly)
- Edge alias on multi-hop tests

The df_executor still runs for these cases, we just can't verify against
the oracle until it supports these combinations.

… skips

- Restore source_node_match/destination_node_match filter support
- Restore WHERE + multi-hop path pruning logic
- Remove skip decorators that hid oracle feature gaps
- Keep only legitimate xfail for edge alias on multi-hop (oracle limitation)
- Remove conftest workaround for multi-hop + WHERE
WHERE/df_executor features belong in Development (for 0.51.0),
not in the released 0.50.1 section.

range(1, max_hops) never reaches max_hops. Changed to range(1, max_hops + 1)
to match other hop loops in the file (lines 464, 994).

- Add has_working_gpu() to check if cuDF can actually allocate GPU memory
- Add requires_gpu decorator that skips tests when GPU unavailable
- Update test_cudf_gpu_path_if_available to use decorator
- Fixes test failures when cuDF imports but GPU memory allocation fails
