Run the host's plan where memory runs short, as its spilling operators would - #89
What changed. This is #74's option 1, with the reservations of option 2.
Every detected fold keeps the host's plan. Since Plan a fold's fallback only when it runs #87 a fallback is planned only when it runs, so keeping one costs nothing until then. Under DetectFolds::default, a fold still runs the discrimination algorithm where the dense one declines (FoldNode::with_memory_fallback). The host's plan runs only where memory runs short.
EinFoldExec runs that plan wherever the pool refuses it:
while it reads its inputs;
when the kernels ask for their working arrays;
when it reserves its output.
It counts these runs in a new metric, memory_fallbacks. Without a fallback it fails, as an operator that can't spill does.
The kernels ask before they allocate.Options gains a budget, a Budget that answers whether some bytes more may be taken. A kernel stops with ArrowError::MemoryError where it says no.
The dense algorithm asks for its key casts, then for its matrices and output once it knows their extents.
The discrimination algorithm asks for its copies of the operands, its ranks and orders, and its groups. It bounds the groups by the joined pairs it counts first.
These are estimates within a small factor, and are written down where they are made. EinFoldExec answers them from the session's pool.
The host's plan streams its rows through, as it would in the host's own plan. Before, it was collected whole and counted again.
einfold's own output gives back its reservation slice by slice as it is emitted. Whatever reads the output counts it if it keeps it, so the output is no longer counted twice.
Fused pipelines don't ask a budget yet: their working tiles are small, and their inputs are reserved as they are read.
Measured by the new property test, 2,000 cases from two seeds, under pools of 2 KB to 256 KB:
before
after
out of memory in einfold only
98, 98
13, 12
out of memory in the host only
50, 51
18, 19
out of memory in both
368, 388
400, 421
einfold ran the host's plan for memory
0
322, 330
The cases einfold alone still loses come from the plan above einfold's operator, which differs from the host's. EinFoldExec reports no size estimate, so for example a hash join above it builds on the other, larger side. The next pull request gives it statistics.
On the GPT of xarray-sql's ML demos, planning and execution times are unchanged, and the Python extension's tests pass.
Tests, and the invariants they check.
fold_matches_sql, the kernels' property test against SQL, gains invariant 5: given a budget of exactly the bytes they asked for, the kernels give the same rows by the same algorithm, bit for bit; given one byte fewer, they stop with a memory error. So a kernel asks before it allocates, and asks the same for the same rows. It holds over the test's 400 default cases.
einfold_runs_short_of_memory_only_where_the_host_does runs random queries in the spellings of the detection sweep, with einfold and without, each under its own pool of the same size. Where both answer, they give the same rows. Neither fails but for memory. Einfold alone runs short no more often than the host alone. And the host's plan runs for memory in some cases.
After CodeRabbit's review
A batch's reservation is released with its last slice, not a share with each, since its slices share its buffers.
The dense algorithm declines non-integer keys before reserving anything, so a fold it can't take leaves the budget to the discrimination algorithm.
The change adds memory budgets to kernel folds and distinguishes memory-shortage fallback from fallback when the dense algorithm declines. DataFusion execution can run a retained host plan on recognized memory failures. Tests check budget behavior and compare einfold results with host results under limited memory pools.
Options now accepts an optional Budget. Dense and discrimination folds reserve estimated working memory. Kernel tests check output with a sufficient budget and memory errors when the budget is too small.
Fallback policy and planner wiring crates/einfold-datafusion/src/fold_node.rs, crates/einfold-datafusion/src/detect_folds.rs, crates/einfold-datafusion/src/planner.rs
FoldNode distinguishes fallback on dense-algorithm decline from fallback on memory shortage. Detection assigns memory fallbacks to unmasked kernel folds, and the planner selects the corresponding execution mode.
Execution memory accounting and host fallback crates/einfold-datafusion/src/ein_fold_exec.rs, crates/einfold-datafusion/tests/detect_vs_host.rs
EinFoldExec charges inputs, kernel allocations, and output to the session memory pool. On recognized memory errors, it releases its reservation and runs the configured host plan. Tests compare einfold and host execution under equal-sized memory pools.
Memory fallback can buffer the entire host result and exhaust process memory. Resolve that before merging; larger randomized test runs can also fail the aggregate comparison.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 98424
Memory budgeting improves failure handling, but fallback execution without a current Tokio runtime can retain the entire result without charging it to the query’s memory pool. This weakens resource isolation for hosts that accept untrusted queries or data.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · inferred: Without a current Tokio runtime, host fallback collects and retains its complete output without reserving those batches against the session pool. The base also buffered fallback output, but subsequently reserved it before exposing the stream; that accounting is bypassed in the head. Newly added memory-error fallback makes this path reachable precisely when the pool has refused the fold. For hosts accepting untrusted queries or data, sufficiently large fallback results can therefore defeat query-level memory containment and pressure the hosting process.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The supported exposure is in-process resource containment: query shape and data cardinality influence retained fallback output. A host polling without a current Tokio runtime can hold that output outside the operator reservation. Effects on other queries depend on process sharing; tenant count, service exposure, and deployment configuration are not established.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — Where an untrusted caller can submit supported fold queries or influence their data, a memory refusal can redirect execution into full host-result collection. In a no-current-runtime host, those results remain unreserved while awaiting consumption, allowing aggregate retained memory to exceed the intended query-pool allowance. No production exploit or process-exhaustion measurement was supplied.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The relevant control boundary is allocation admission against the session memory pool. The adapter honors explicit budget requests and memory fallback is error-type gated. With a current Tokio runtime, host output streams directly rather than being accumulated by host_stream.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Whole-input collection before reservation already existed at the base and is not a newly introduced containment defect. The new handler changes the response to memory failure, freeing the operator reservation before host fallback rather than immediately propagating the error.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Bridge host output across the library runtime with bounded buffering and reservation ownership that follows retained batches, instead of collecting the full result. Validate memory fallback with a slow consumer and cancellation while no Tokio runtime is current.

🪭 Claude (einfold): This is #91's commit, moved onto `main` so that it
can merge ahead of the stack it was part of. #91 is closed in its favor.
Answers #79's second ask, and opens its third, as design v18.
**The goal.** For models trained in SQL, such as the GPT in the ML demos
of xarray-sql, an XQL Systems project for querying xarray datasets with
SQL (its `benchmarks/ml/02_nanogpt.py`), memory limits model size as
much as time does. Principle 9, "never more memory than the host", says
how einfold's operators keep to it. They reserve what they read, and
what their kernels allocate, from the host's memory pool, before
allocating it. Where the pool can't give it, they run the host's own
plan, whose operators can spill to disk. Every benchmark measures peak
memory next to time.
**What changes in the design.**
- **Section 4** adds principle 9.
- **Section 10.2** gains a bullet on memory: what `EinFoldExec` does
(#89, #90), and what comes next. The positional fold should stream its
larger operand in row blocks, so that its peak stays below the host's
even without a pool to enforce it. That needs each dimension's extent
before reading, and #80's dictionaries answer it: the dictionary's
length, when it is the whole axis. Exact statistics or a first pass over
the keys also give it.
- **Section 15** reports peak memory next to time, which
`python/benchmarks/memory.py` (#85) does for the Python extension.
- **Section 14** opens #79's third ask, dense chains of folds: handing
the dense form from one einfold operator to the next, so the joined
intermediates never exist as rows. It lists what is open: the form
handed on, how a host operator between two folds reads it, and when a
chain is worth keeping dense.
- **`lessons.md`** records what running einfold under the GPT taught
(#77, #79, #81):
- profile through the real bridge;
- report statistics, and cache them;
- plan a fallback only if it runs;
- batch dimensions are common.
**Where the stack stands on #79**, at its size (128 channels, context
64, batch 12, one layer), through datafusion-python on an Intel i7-8700:
| | DataFusion alone | einfold, before #86 | einfold, with #86–#90 |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| the loss | 108 s, 8.9 GB peak | 42 s, 11.8 GB | 13.6 s, 6.9 GB |
| the gradients | 36.5 s, 9.8 GB | | 4.2 s, 1.8 GB |
The peak is above the loaded tables. So the GPT already keeps to the
principle at this size. Streaming in row blocks would make that hold by
construction, not only under a pool.

243-245: Minor · Performance & Scalability · Low value
Unrefunded reservations after a dense decline.
The earlier review raised this and it is only partly fixed. The new integers check (Lines 235-242) now declines non-integer keys before any bytes are reserved. Two reservations are still never returned if the dense algorithm declines later:
The key-cast reservation (Line 245) stays counted if keys() declines on NULLs, negative values, or values too large for i64.
The matrix reservation (Line 312) stays counted if the fold declines at a duplicate-position check or at the holes check.
algorithm::fold then reserves the discrimination working set on top of these bytes. Under a tight pool, this can cause a spurious memory fallback. Results stay correct. A real fix needs a way for Budget to give bytes back, such as a shrink method. Treat that as a follow-up.
Also applies to: 293-312

Use a named-field struct for Pool.
Pool is a tuple struct. The repository rule prefers named-field structs. Name the field, for example reservation, and update the use at Line 559 and the grow body.

Make Limit::grow atomic.
grow loads given, compares, and then calls fetch_add. This is a check-then-act sequence. Budget requires Sync, so a kernel may call grow from several threads. Two concurrent calls can both pass the check and exceed limit. The asked - 1 run then returns Ok instead of MemoryError, and check_budget reports a failure that is not a kernel defect. DataFusion's own try_grow is atomic. Use fetch_update so the check and the update happen as one step.

…s would
EinFoldExec read its inputs whole, reserving them from the session's
memory pool, and failed where the pool couldn't give them; its kernels'
working arrays weren't reserved at all. The host's own operators spill to
disk instead, so under a small pool einfold failed queries the host
answers about twice as often as the reverse (#74).
Now every detected fold keeps the host's plan, which costs nothing until
it runs, since it is planned only then. EinFoldExec runs it wherever the
pool refuses: while the inputs are read, when the kernels ask for their
working arrays, or when the output is reserved. The kernels ask before
they allocate, through a Budget in their Options, and stop with a memory
error where it says no. The host's plan streams its rows through, as it
would in the host's own plan, and einfold's own output gives its
reservation back as it is emitted.

…the host's (#90)
🪭 Claude (einfold)
Part of #81, and the rest of #74's remaining cases.
**Why.** `EinFoldExec` reported no statistics, so DataFusion's planner
knew nothing about the rows it emits. A hash join above it then held
whichever side it was given, often the larger.
- **Under a small memory pool**, the cases where einfold alone runs out
of memory (#89) came from this. In the one I traced, the host's plan
builds its hash join on the fold's few rows. With einfold, the join
built on the 26 rows of the other side, and the operators below then ran
short.
- **In the GPT of xarray-sql's ML demos** (xarray-sql's
`benchmarks/ml/02_nanogpt.py`, a GPT written and trained in SQL), the
loss's execution took half again as long as the host's.
**What changed.**
- **A fold with a domain** reports exactly one row per domain row, with
the same precision as the domain's count.
- **Any other fold, or a pipeline,** reports as many rows as its larger
operand, as an estimate, and no more than the pairs the operands make. A
matrix product `x[s, k] · w[k, e]` emits `s · e` rows. That falls
between `w`'s count and `x`'s when `k` is the smallest extent, as in a
model's layers. Attention emits one row per row of its queries. The
bytes follow from the rows and the schema's widths.
- **The statistics are computed once and kept.** The planner asks at
every join above, and without the cache each question walked the whole
plan below again: the GPT's planning took 0.8 s longer before the cache.
**Measured.**
The new memory-pool property test from #89, on the same 2,000 cases:
| | #89 | this pull request |
|---|---:|---:|
| out of memory in einfold only | 13, 12 | 4, 0 |
| out of memory in the host only | 18, 19 | 23, 26 |
The GPT's loss at the demo's size, through datafusion-python, on an
Intel i7-8700 at a load average of 3–5, after the first run:
| | DataFusion alone | einfold, #89 | einfold, this pull request |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| planning | 2.45 s | 2.73–2.81 s | 2.67–2.71 s |
| execution | 0.36 s | 0.53 s | 0.28–0.30 s |
So with this stack, einfold runs the GPT's loss faster than DataFusion
alone, and plans it within 0.3 s of it.
**Tests.** `folds_estimate_their_rows` checks the two estimates: a fold
over 6 and 3 rows reports about 6, and a fold from a 4-row domain
reports exactly 4. All the existing tests pass, the Python extension's
included.
## After CodeRabbit's review
- Rows with a column of variable width, such as text keys, have no size
estimate. DataFusion's join selection then goes by the rows.
