    Resolution: Fixed

> Late materialization for collections: SkipRows() does not roll back 
> current_row_, giving wrong FILE__POSITION and misaligned rows

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-15374
>             Project: IMPALA
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Backend
>            Reporter: Zoltán Borók-Nagy

> {{BaseScalarColumnReader::SkipRows()}} undoes the one level that the 
> non-batched read protocol read ahead, but it never rolls back 
> {{current_row_}}. After every skip that follows a read, 
> {{LastProcessedRow()}} is one too high, and the error accumulates within the 
> row group. Two user-visible symptoms follow, and which one appears depends on 
> whether the page index is used.
> This affects collection columns read under late materialization, i.e. since 
> IMPALA-3841
> (607bad042a, master only, not in a release). The same code is the blocker for 
> enabling late materialization for VARIANT (IMPALA-15142), which is how it was 
> found.
> *Status: derived by tracing the code, not yet reproduced at runtime.* Repro 
> queries are below; they need a throwaway debug cluster.
> h2. Root cause
> {{BaseScalarColumnReader::NextLevels()}} 
> (parquet-column-readers.cc:1461-1475) advances
> {{current_row_}} and sets {{levels_readahead_ = true}}:
> {code:java}
> if (rep_level_ == 0) ++current_row_;   // max_rep_level() > 0
> ...
> ++current_row_;                        // max_rep_level() == 0
> levels_readahead_ = true;
> {code}
> The undo in {{SkipRows()}} (parquet-column-readers.h:600-617) reverses 
> everything except that
> increment:
> {code:java}
> if (levels_readahead_) {
>   rep_levels_.CachePrev();
>   def_levels_.CachePrev();
>   rep_level_ = ParquetLevel::INVALID_LEVEL;
>   def_level_ = ParquetLevel::INVALID_LEVEL;
>   ++num_buffered_values_;
>   levels_readahead_ = false;     // <-- current_row_ is never decremented
> }
> {code}
> {{LastProcessedRow()}} is {{levels_readahead_ ? current_row_ - 1 : 
> current_row_}}
> (parquet-column-readers.h:572-575), so clearing the flag alone shifts it by 
> one, and the
> skip then counts from the shifted base. Nothing re-bases {{current_row_}} 
> until the next
> row group ({{Reset()}}), or the next page under page filtering 
> ({{StartPageFiltering()}},
> parquet-column-readers.cc:1493).
> h2. Symptom 1 (no page index): wrong FILE__POSITION
> Values stay aligned, but the drift lands in FILE__POSITION, which
> {{ReadFilePositionNonBatched()}} computes from {{LastProcessedRow()}}.
> {code:sql}
> set parquet_late_materialization_threshold=1;
> select file__position, int_array, id from functional_parquet.complextypestbl 
> where id % 2 = 0;
> -- correct (and what threshold=-1 returns): positions 1, 3, 5, 0
> -- predicted with the bug:                  positions 1, 4, 7, 0   (7 exceeds 
> the 7-row file)
> {code}
> h2. Symptom 2 (page index active): collection values attached to the wrong row
> In the page-filtering branch of {{SkipRowsInternal()}} 
> (parquet-column-readers.cc:1806-1812)
> the number of rows to skip is {{skip_row_id - LastProcessedRow()}}, so the 
> reader skips one row
> too few and ends up physically one row behind while its row *labels* stay in 
> sync. When exactly
> one row must be skipped, the {{last_row < skip_row_id}} guard is false and 
> nothing is skipped
> at all.
> {code:sql}
> -- table t loaded from 
> testdata/data/customer_nested_multiblock_multipage.parquet
> -- (3 row groups x 100 rows; every column has 5 pages of 20 rows; page index 
> present)
> set batch_size=4;
> set expand_complex_types=true;
> select c_custkey, c_orders from t where c_custkey > 280 and c_custkey % 9 = 2;
> -- predicted with the bug: 281 correct, 290 shows customer 289's orders,
> --                         299 shows customer 297's orders; no error is raised
> -- compare against: set parquet_late_materialization_threshold=-1;  (or 
> parquet_read_page_index=false)
> {code}
> Nothing catches this: {{CheckPageFiltering()}} compares row labels, which 
> stay in sync, and
> tolerates a difference of 1 anyway; the end of the row group is also reached 
> by label.
> h2. Why no existing test sees it
> * {{nested-types-parquet-page-index.test}} uses inner joins ({{n, n.arr}}), 
> where the planner
>   adds an {{!empty()}} predicate that makes the collection a filter reader 
> with
>   {{max_rep_level() > 0}}, so late materialization is off.
> * The two collection + FILE__POSITION queries in 
> {{virtual-column-file-position-parquet.test}}
>   have the collection as the only reader, so {{non_filter_readers_}} is empty 
> and late
>   materialization is off.
> * {{... where c_custkey = 300}} in the same file does combine collections, 
> the page index and
>   result checks, but with the default {{batch_size=1024}} the whole 20-row 
> candidate range fits
>   in one scratch batch, so {{SkipRows()}} is never called after a read and 
> the undo never runs.
> * {{parquet-late-materialization*.test}} uses 
> {{parquet_read_page_index=false}} or non-pushable
>   predicates and asserts counters or a constant, not collection values.
> h2. Suggested fix
> In the undo, before the levels are invalidated:
> {code:java}
> // SkipRows() is only ever called on a top-level row boundary.
> DCHECK(max_rep_level() == 0 || rep_level_ == 0);
> --current_row_;
> {code}
> A {{DCHECK_EQ(LastProcessedRow(), last_processed_row_before_undo)}} at the 
> end of the undo
> makes the invariant explicit and would have caught this.
