What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Replace per-element lambda dispatch in readIntegers/readLongs with bulk paths that compute prefix sums in-place over the unpacked delta buffer and write via putInts/putLongs (backed by System.arraycopy on-heap).

Three optimizations in this PR:

  1. Bulk read for INT32/INT64: readBulkIntegers and readBulkLongs replace the generic readValues() lambda-per-value path. A single loadMiniBlockBulk method handles block/mini-block loading, prefix-sum computation, and delegates the type-specific write to a BulkWriter callback (called once per mini-block, not per value).

  2. Zero-allocation unsigned long encoding: Replace new BigInteger(Long.toUnsignedString(v)).toByteArray() (3 allocations per value: String + BigInteger + byte[]) with a loop-based byte[] encoder using Long.numberOfLeadingZeros to compute minimal BigInteger-compatible encoding directly. The shared utility encodeUnsignedLongBigEndian is extracted into VectorizedReaderBase and applied to all call sites (VectorizedDeltaBinaryPackedReader, UnsignedLongUpdater, ParquetDictionary).

  3. Widening overrides (readIntegersAsLongs, readIntegersAsDoubles): Since the delta decoder already works on long[] internally, these overrides skip the int narrowing step and write longs/doubles directly from the prefix-sum buffer. Benefits DateToTimestampNTZUpdater, IntegerToLongUpdater, and IntegerToDoubleUpdater via the two-pass updater pattern.

  4. Benchmark fix: Add unsignedLongVec.reset() before readUnsignedLongs to prevent unbounded arrayData() growth across benchmark iterations (OOM).

Why are the changes needed?

The DELTA_BINARY_PACKED decoder was 2-5x slower than PLAIN encoding for INT32/INT64 reads due to per-element lambda dispatch and lack of bulk vector writes. The readUnsignedLongs path allocated 3 objects per value (12,288 allocations per 4096-row batch) due to BigInteger(Long.toUnsignedString(v)).

When v == 0L, the method returns early with start = 0 before buf.putLong(1, v) is called. The caller writes 9 - start bytes:

int start = encodeUnsignedLongBigEndian(v, unsignedLongBuf);
c.putByteArray(rowId, unsignedLongBuf.array(), start, 9 - start); // 9 bytes when start=0
``` But `scratch[1..8]` still contains data from the *previous* non-zero call to this method (since `unsignedLongBuf` is reused across rows). This produces a corrupt encoding: the downstream `BigInteger` constructor would interpret the stale bytes as a non-zero value.

**Concrete example:** Given a column with values `[42L, 0L]`, the first call encodes 42 into `scratch[1..8]`. The second call (`v = 0L`) sets `scratch[0] = 0` and returns `start = 0` without overwriting `scratch[1..8]`. The caller writes 9 bytes `[0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x2A]`, which `BigInteger` interprets as 42, not 0.

**Suggested fix:** Move `buf.putLong(1, v)` before the zero-check so the buffer is always current:
```java
buf.putLong(1, v);
if (v == 0L) {
  scratch[0] = 0;
  return 0;
}

readBulkLoop always returns remaining = 0 (the while-loop exhausts it). So valuesRead = total - 0 = total, overwriting the accumulated count from prior calls. The bounds check if (valuesRead + total > totalValueCount) under-counts the cumulative values read, so the guard fires too late and may allow reads past the page boundary on multi-batch pages.

This is a pre-existing bug in the original readValues method (same file, line 243 in master), carried forward unchanged into the new bulk paths.

Suggested fix (applies to readBulkIntegers, readBulkLongs, and the original readValues):

valuesRead += total;

The baseline result files were captured on AMD EPYC 7763 (Zen 3); the new results are from AMD EPYC 9V45 (Zen 5). This is a generational CPU upgrade with significantly different IPC, cache hierarchy, and memory subsystem. The reported speedup numbers (e.g. 3.8x for readLongs) include both the code optimization AND the hardware improvement, making them unreliable for isolating the PR's contribution.

Also, please update the results for Java 21 and Java 25 as well.

The loop runs until remaining == 0, so the return value is always 0. This makes the return value redundant and obscures the valuesRead bug in the caller (see item #2). Consider changing the return type to void to make the exhaustive-loop contract explicit, and fix the callers to use valuesRead += total directly.

The scratch buffer is lazily allocated on first readIntegers call. Since miniBlockSizeInValues is known at initFromPage time and the buffer is small (typically 128 ints = 512 bytes), it could be allocated eagerly alongside unpackedValuesBuffer for simpler code and deterministic allocation behavior.

Summary

I reviewed the current head 456e0022ce5283ac0d66a41354a84c00d723ea32 through independent correctness, performance, and test/compatibility passes.

The production implementation looks correct. The bulk DELTA_BINARY_PACKED decoder preserves reader state across partial miniblocks and block boundaries, the UINT64 encoding helper handles zero and unsigned extremes correctly, and the earlier correctness concerns in the review history are fixed on this head.

One P2 remains before merge: the benchmark claims in the PR description do not describe the final checked-in benchmark results and still compare runs from different CPU generations as if the difference were primarily caused by this patch.

Prior State and Problem

The INT32 and INT64 DELTA_BINARY_PACKED paths reconstructed and wrote values through generic per-element callback loops. That added dispatch overhead and prevented the vectorized reader from using the destination column vector's bulk write operations.

The UINT64-to-decimal path converted each value through Long.toUnsignedString, BigInteger, and toByteArray, creating several temporary objects per decoded value. The benchmark also did not reset the variable-width UINT64 result vector between iterations, allowing its backing data to accumulate until the benchmark could run out of memory.

Design Approach

The PR adds specialized INT32 and INT64 bulk paths. A shared miniblock loop loads packed deltas, reconstructs absolute values through in-place prefix sums, and delegates each decoded segment to a type-specific bulk writer.

INT32 values are narrowed into reusable scratch storage before putInts, while INT64 values can be written through putLongs. The PR also extracts a shared allocation-free UINT64 encoder into VectorizedReaderBase, using a reusable eight-byte big-endian buffer at all three call sites.

Correctness / Compatibility Analysis

The new loop correctly handles partial miniblocks, transitions between miniblocks and blocks, repeated bulk calls, and mixtures of scalar and bulk reads. The cumulative valuesRead accounting advances by the complete decoded count.

The UINT64 helper overwrites the reusable buffer before handling zero and returns the correct minimal unsigned byte range. This fixes the stale-buffer zero-value failure from an earlier revision.

The existing reader API and Parquet file semantics are unchanged. Both on-heap and off-heap vectors support the bulk operations used here, and no public API or data-format compatibility change is introduced.

Key Design Decisions

  • Prefix sums are computed directly in the unpacked delta buffer, avoiding an additional long-array copy.
  • INT32 uses reusable scratch storage because the packed decoder reconstructs longs while the destination vector expects ints.
  • Singleton runs still use the scalar updater path, avoiding bulk-copy setup for common nullable single-value runs.
  • UINT64 encoding is centralized so delta, dictionary, and normal vector-updater paths use identical unsigned conversion semantics.
  • Resetting the UINT64 benchmark vector is in scope because it is necessary to measure the changed variable-width path without accumulated state.

Implementation Sketch

  1. Load a DELTA_BINARY_PACKED miniblock when the current miniblock is exhausted.
  2. Add the block minimum delta and reconstruct absolute values with in-place prefix sums.
  3. Write each available range through putInts or putLongs.
  4. Preserve miniblock, block, and cumulative-value state for the next read call.
  5. Encode UINT64 values into reusable big-endian storage and expose only the minimal unsigned byte range to decimal conversion.

Behavioral Changes Worth Calling Out

There should be no user-visible result change. The intended effects are lower CPU overhead for vectorized INT32/INT64 reads and elimination of per-value temporary allocations in UINT64 decimal reads.

The current benchmark primarily covers large, contiguous on-heap reads. Short nullable runs and off-heap vectors are not directly characterized by it. I do not have evidence of a regression there, but these cases would make the performance evidence more representative of production reads.

Suggested Improvements

[P2] Refresh the benchmark results and avoid unsupported causal speedup claims

The PR description still reports the intermediate AMD EPYC 9V45 JDK 17 run: roughly 2.0x-3.2x for INT32, 3.0x-6.6x for INT64, and 14.6x for UINT64. The final checked-in JDK 17 results now use AMD EPYC 7763 and, against the checked-in upstream baseline, show approximately:

  • INT32 reads: 0.77x, 1.19x, 1.15x, and 1.14x
  • INT64 reads: 2.73x, 3.60x, 2.66x, and 1.89x
  • UINT64 reads: 8.78x

Several algorithmically unchanged skip and single-value paths also move substantially between the baseline and PR benchmark files. For example, unchanged INT64 skip paths appear roughly 1.76x-3.16x faster. That is strong evidence of meaningful cross-run variance even when the final files report the same CPU model.

Please replace the PR-body tables, hardware note, and workflow links with the final results. More importantly, either run base and head back-to-back on the same runner or describe the checked-in numbers as observational results without attributing the full difference to this patch. The current statement that the magnitude “far exceeds” the hardware/environment difference is not supported by the unchanged control paths.

As non-blocking follow-ups, consider adding benchmark cases for nullable run lengths around 2-32 and both on-heap and off-heap vectors. A dedicated functional test combining DELTA_BINARY_PACKED with UINT64 would also close the only notable coverage gap, although the two components are already exercised independently.

Validation

Focused validation covered the integer and long delta-reader suites, partial and repeated reads, V2 pages, on/off-heap vectors, UINT64 zero and extreme values, and dictionary/plain UINT64 paths. Independent validation also compared one million random UINT64 encodings against the existing BigInteger representation. git diff --check passed.

@sunchao @LuciferYang Updated the PR description with the final committed benchmark numbers (JDK 21, both sides on AMD EPYC 7763). Removed the old cross-hardware comparison and added a note about cross-run variance in unchanged paths. The benchmark result files for JDK 17, 21, and 25 are already committed to the branch and up to date.

…CKED decoding

Add a bulk read path to VectorizedDeltaBinaryPackedReader that decodes
an entire mini-block of values in a tight loop instead of reading one
value at a time. This avoids per-value method-call overhead and enables
the JIT to better vectorize the inner unpacking loop.

Key changes:
- readBulkLoop/skipBulkLoop in VectorizedDeltaBinaryPackedReader that
  process full mini-blocks at once, falling back to the scalar path only
  for the final partial mini-block.
- Helper methods in VectorizedReaderBase (readBulkIntegers,
  readBulkLongs, skipBulk) that delegate to the new bulk path.
- Wire unsigned integer/long updaters through the bulk read path.
- Fix buffer-reuse bug in encodeUnsignedLongBigEndian for zero values
  that caused a ~14.6x performance regression on UINT_64 columns
  (Parquet UINT_64 -> Spark Decimal(20,0)).

Benchmark results regenerated via GHA workflow on AMD EPYC 9V45 (same
machine class as the upstream baseline from SPARK-56633):
- DELTA_BINARY_PACKED INT32: 2.0x-3.3x faster
- DELTA_BINARY_PACKED INT64: 2.9x-6.6x faster
- DELTA_BYTE_ARRAY: 2.3x-2.6x faster
- DELTA_LENGTH_BYTE_ARRAY: 2.0x-3.3x faster
- Variant reads: 1.7x-2.4x faster
- readUnsignedLongs: ~14.6x faster (bug fix)

Apologies for the force-push — I accidentally rebased onto latest master while updating my other branches. No code changes, just a base update. Sorry for the noise.

@LuciferYang All three benchmark runs are now on AMD EPYC 7763 (JDK 17, 21, 25) and the results are pretty promising:

INT64 reads: 1.8x-3.7x across all JDKs and data patterns
INT64 skip: 2.3x-4.0x
Unsigned long encoding (with the new byte[] loop): 7.3x-8.6x
INT32 reads: 1.1x-1.6x (narrowing overhead limits gains)
DELTA_BYTE_ARRAY / DELTA_LENGTH_BYTE_ARRAY: 1.2x-1.9x indirect improvement

Updated the PR description with full JDK 17/21/25 comparison tables and the new workflow run links.

Thank you for all your help and the thorough review suggestions -- the byte[] loop approach is cleaner and avoids the ByteBuffer abstraction entirely, and moving the scratch buffer allocation to initFromPage makes the code more straightforward. Really appreciate the guidance on getting the benchmark workflow right too.

I believe this is ready to go now -- would you be able to merge it when you get a chance?

…KED reader

The delta decoder already works on long[] internally, so widening
overrides can skip the int narrowing step entirely:

- readIntegersAsLongs: delegates to readBulkLongs (no narrowing)
- readIntegersAsDoubles: bulk decode + per-miniblock long-to-double write

This benefits all updaters that use the two-pass pattern with these
methods (DateToTimestampNTZUpdater, IntegerToLongUpdater,
IntegerToDoubleUpdater) when reading Parquet V2 DELTA_BINARY_PACKED
encoded INT32 columns.

Local benchmark (Variant reads section):
- readIntegersAsLongs: 438 M/s (2.1x vs per-row readUnsignedIntegers)
- readIntegersAsDoubles: 429 M/s (2.0x vs per-row readUnsignedIntegers)

@LuciferYang Sorry for the extra churn -- I added one more commit with readIntegersAsLongs and readIntegersAsDoubles overrides for the DELTA_BINARY_PACKED reader. It seemed worth including since the delta decoder already works on long[] internally, so these overrides skip the int narrowing step entirely and write longs/doubles directly from the prefix-sum buffer.

Local benchmark shows 2.1x for readIntegersAsLongs and 2.0x for readIntegersAsDoubles vs the per-row default path.

This benefits DateToTimestampNTZUpdater, IntegerToLongUpdater, and IntegerToDoubleUpdater when reading Parquet V2 DELTA_BINARY_PACKED encoded INT32 columns -- the improvement carries over automatically via the two-pass updater pattern in PR #55923.

The review delta is small (25 lines of new code in the reader + 8 lines of benchmark cases) if you want to focus just on the new commit.

…CKED decoding

### What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Replace per-element lambda dispatch in `readIntegers`/`readLongs` with bulk paths that compute prefix sums in-place over the unpacked delta buffer and write via `putInts`/`putLongs` (backed by `System.arraycopy` on-heap).

Three optimizations in this PR:

1. **Bulk read for INT32/INT64**: `readBulkIntegers` and `readBulkLongs` replace the generic `readValues()` lambda-per-value path. A single `loadMiniBlockBulk` method handles block/mini-block loading, prefix-sum computation, and delegates the type-specific write to a `BulkWriter` callback (called once per mini-block, not per value).

2. **Zero-allocation unsigned long encoding**: Replace `new BigInteger(Long.toUnsignedString(v)).toByteArray()` (3 allocations per value: String + BigInteger + byte[]) with a loop-based `byte[]` encoder using `Long.numberOfLeadingZeros` to compute minimal BigInteger-compatible encoding directly. The shared utility `encodeUnsignedLongBigEndian` is extracted into `VectorizedReaderBase` and applied to all call sites (`VectorizedDeltaBinaryPackedReader`, `UnsignedLongUpdater`, `ParquetDictionary`).

3. **Widening overrides** (`readIntegersAsLongs`, `readIntegersAsDoubles`): Since the delta decoder already works on `long[]` internally, these overrides skip the int narrowing step and write longs/doubles directly from the prefix-sum buffer. Benefits `DateToTimestampNTZUpdater`, `IntegerToLongUpdater`, and `IntegerToDoubleUpdater` via the two-pass updater pattern.

4. **Benchmark fix**: Add `unsignedLongVec.reset()` before `readUnsignedLongs` to prevent unbounded `arrayData()` growth across benchmark iterations (OOM).

### Why are the changes needed?

The DELTA_BINARY_PACKED decoder was 2-5x slower than PLAIN encoding for INT32/INT64 reads due to per-element lambda dispatch and lack of bulk vector writes. The `readUnsignedLongs` path allocated 3 objects per value (12,288 allocations per 4096-row batch) due to `BigInteger(Long.toUnsignedString(v))`.

The INT64 bulk-read improvement (1.8x-3.7x), widening overrides (2.1x-2.7x), and the unsigned long encoding fix (7-9x) are the primary contributions of this PR.

Full committed results: [JDK 17](https://github.com/iemejia/spark/actions/runs/27426991381), [JDK 21](https://github.com/iemejia/spark/actions/runs/27426992516), [JDK 25](https://github.com/iemejia/spark/actions/runs/27431820511)

### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?

No. This is a performance improvement to internal Parquet decoding. No API or behavior changes.

### How was this patch tested?

- Existing unit tests: `ParquetDeltaEncodingInteger` (13 tests), `ParquetDeltaEncodingLong` (13 tests), `ParquetDeltaByteArrayEncodingSuite`, `ParquetDeltaLengthByteArrayEncodingSuite`, `ParquetVectorizedSuite` (25 tests), `ParquetIOSuite` (unsigned Parquet logical types test) -- all pass.
- Benchmark: `VectorizedDeltaReaderBenchmark` run via GHA workflow on JDK 17, 21, and 25.

Argh it seems the PR did not reopen because I have already deleted the remote branch. Can you reopen it @LuciferYang or we move the review to the other site? (In the meantime I opened it in the side)

Ask me if you prefer me to squash all the commits of the previous part and let just the fix commit on top of it.

…CKED decoding

### What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Re-apply the bulk read optimization for `VectorizedDeltaBinaryPackedReader` (reverted in c13302a) with a fix for the INT32 widening bug that caused the CI failure.

**Commit 1** — Reapply the original optimization (revert of the revert):
- Bulk `readIntegers`/`readLongs` via prefix-sum + `putInts`/`putLongs`
- Zero-allocation unsigned long encoding (`encodeUnsignedLongBigEndian`)
- `readIntegersAsLongs` and `readIntegersAsDoubles` overrides

**Commit 2** — Fix the INT32 widening bug:
- The Parquet INT32 delta encoder (`DeltaBinaryPackingValuesWriterForInteger`) computes deltas using Java int arithmetic with modular overflow. The bulk widened readers (`readIntegersAsLongs`, `readIntegersAsDoubles`) were performing the prefix sum in long space and writing raw long results without truncating back to int. When delta overflow occurs (e.g. a sequence containing `Int.MinValue`), the reconstructed long has the wrong sign.
- Fix: truncate each prefix-sum result to int before widening to long/double
- Add focused low-level tests for the overflow case (single-batch and split reads)
- Add benchmark cases for the overflow pattern

This is the same content as #55919, which was merged and reverted due to this bug.

### Why are the changes needed?

The bulk read path eliminates per-value lambda dispatch overhead and enables the JIT to better vectorize the inner unpacking loop. See #55919 for full benchmark results.

### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?

No.

### How was this patch tested?

- `ParquetTypeWideningSuite`: IntegerType -> LongType, IntegerType -> DoubleType
- `ParquetDeltaEncodingInteger`: new focused tests for modular delta overflow
- `ParquetDeltaEncodingInteger`/`Long`: full suites (30 tests)
- `ParquetIOSuite`: UINT_64 tests
- `VectorizedDeltaReaderBenchmark`: full suite including new overflow cases

### Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling?

Yes.

- Add focused low-level tests for the overflow case (single-batch and split reads)
- Add benchmark cases for the overflow pattern

This is the same content as #55919, which was merged and reverted due to this bug.

### Why are the changes needed?

The bulk read path eliminates per-value lambda dispatch overhead and enables the JIT to better vectorize the inner unpacking loop. See #55919 for full benchmark results.

### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?

No.

### How was this patch tested?

- `ParquetTypeWideningSuite`: IntegerType -> LongType, IntegerType -> DoubleType
- `ParquetDeltaEncodingInteger`: new focused tests for modular delta overflow
- `ParquetDeltaEncodingInteger`/`Long`: full suites (30 tests)
- `ParquetIOSuite`: UINT_64 tests
- `VectorizedDeltaReaderBenchmark`: full suite including new overflow cases

### Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling?

Yes.

### What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Replace per-element lambda dispatch in `readIntegers`/`readLongs` with bulk paths that compute prefix sums in-place over the unpacked delta buffer and write via `putInts`/`putLongs` (backed by `System.arraycopy` on-heap).

Three optimizations in this PR:

1. **Bulk read for INT32/INT64**: `readBulkIntegers` and `readBulkLongs` replace the generic `readValues()` lambda-per-value path. A single `loadMiniBlockBulk` method handles block/mini-block loading, prefix-sum computation, and delegates the type-specific write to a `BulkWriter` callback (called once per mini-block, not per value).

2. **Zero-allocation unsigned long encoding**: Replace `new BigInteger(Long.toUnsignedString(v)).toByteArray()` (3 allocations per value: String + BigInteger + byte[]) with a loop-based `byte[]` encoder using `Long.numberOfLeadingZeros` to compute minimal BigInteger-compatible encoding directly. The shared utility `encodeUnsignedLongBigEndian` is extracted into `VectorizedReaderBase` and applied to all call sites (`VectorizedDeltaBinaryPackedReader`, `UnsignedLongUpdater`, `ParquetDictionary`).

3. **Widening overrides** (`readIntegersAsLongs`, `readIntegersAsDoubles`): Since the delta decoder already works on `long[]` internally, these overrides skip the int narrowing step and write longs/doubles directly from the prefix-sum buffer. Benefits `DateToTimestampNTZUpdater`, `IntegerToLongUpdater`, and `IntegerToDoubleUpdater` via the two-pass updater pattern.

4. **Benchmark fix**: Add `unsignedLongVec.reset()` before `readUnsignedLongs` to prevent unbounded `arrayData()` growth across benchmark iterations (OOM).

### Why are the changes needed?

The DELTA_BINARY_PACKED decoder was 2-5x slower than PLAIN encoding for INT32/INT64 reads due to per-element lambda dispatch and lack of bulk vector writes. The `readUnsignedLongs` path allocated 3 objects per value (12,288 allocations per 4096-row batch) due to `BigInteger(Long.toUnsignedString(v))`.

> Note: Baseline for `readIntegersAsLongs`/`readIntegersAsDoubles` is `readUnsignedIntegers` which uses the per-row default `readInteger()` virtual dispatch path (same cost as the default widening methods without overrides).

> Note: These results are from independent GHA runs (not back-to-back on the same runner). Some cross-run variance is present in unchanged paths. The INT64 bulk-read improvement (1.8x-3.7x), widening overrides (2.1x-2.7x), and the unsigned long encoding fix (7-9x) are the primary contributions of this PR.
