Description

(From an agent investigation)

We execute the following SQL query with DuckDB (in execute_duckdb_query)

                f"CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW {name} AS "
                f"SELECT * FROM parquet_scan('{pattern}');"

by building pattern using pathlib manipulation of the input dataset_path, but pathlib isn't be able to handle remote s3 path correctly.

This PR just manipulates the paths as strings and loads necessary packages to connect to S3. This work will allow us to more easily generate validation parquet datasets for PDS-DS from our DuckDB queries by writing directly to S3.

Additionally, an agent spotted that it might not make sense to drop the file caches during a cold run when the data source is remote and to raise an error in this case

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Benchmark dataset paths now accept both strings and local filesystem paths.
    • Remote S3 datasets are configured automatically for DuckDB access, including HTTP support and cloud credential handling.
    • Local and remote Parquet paths are handled consistently.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Added a clear error when cold-cache benchmarking is attempted with an S3 dataset.

Walkthrough

The benchmark utilities now accept string or Path dataset paths, reject S3 paths for cold-cache runs, and centralize DuckDB view registration with remote access configuration.

Changes

Remote dataset support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dataset path handling
python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/streaming/benchmarks/utils.py
RunConfig.dataset_path accepts str or Path. Cold-cache mode raises a targeted error for S3 dataset paths.
DuckDB remote view registration
python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/streaming/benchmarks/utils.py
Shared view registration configures httpfs and S3 credential-chain authentication. DuckDB plan generation and query execution use the shared registration helper.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 53fe1

Most supported remote and local paths remain usable, but a path containing an apostrophe can still make the benchmark fail during DuckDB view registration.

In `@python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/streaming/benchmarks/utils.py`:
- Around line 1979-1984: Add unit tests covering local registration, remote-path
httpfs installation/loading and S3 credential-chain secret setup, plus rejection
in cold mode. Add a unit benchmark that exercises remote DuckDB view
registration through the branch guarded by is_remote_path and validates the
resulting view behavior.
- Line 1990: Update _duckdb_register_views to escape every single quote in
pattern by doubling it before interpolating the value into the DuckDB
parquet_scan SQL literal, while preserving unchanged paths and existing view
registration behavior.

This also picks up things like file:///path/to/data, which is maybe fine.

In cudf-polars, we use kvikio's remote URL detection. But I don't think we should rely on kvikio here.
