Gate the eager HybridScanMetadata parse on use_hybrid_scan.
use_hybrid_scan defaults to False (see python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/utils/config.py lines 315-321). This loop parses HybridScanMetadata for every prefetched file on every query, including queries that never use the hybrid reader. Footer prefetch runs for all remote scans, so the cost is paid by default.
hybrid_scan_reader already builds the metadata on demand at lines 61-66. Pass the flag into _prefetch_parquet_footers_for_paths and skip the eager parse when hybrid scanning is disabled, or drop the eager loop and rely on the lazy path.
The option-building block also duplicates the block in python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/streaming/io.py lines 240-244. Extract one helper that builds ParquetReaderOptions with decimal_width(plc.TypeId.DECIMAL128) for a CachedParquetInfo.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Build the all-pruned empty frame from schema, not from with_columns.
This early return uses with_columns for the column set and order. The non-empty path at lines 331-333 ends with .select(list(schema.keys())). The two paths therefore disagree when with_columns differs from schema in order or in membership.
with_columns can include columns that the predicate needs but the output schema drops. In that case this branch returns extra columns, and schema[name] raises KeyError for any such column. The result also becomes data dependent: the output shape changes based on whether pruning removed all row groups.
Use the schema keys directly so both paths return the same columns in the same order.

Polars IR Scan file_options.with_columns predicate projection pushdown schema source code
💡 Result:
In the Polars query engine, predicate and projection pushdown are critical optimizations that move data filtering and column selection as close to the data source as possible [1][2]. These optimizations are typically managed within the intermediate representation (IR) during the transition from the Lazy DSL to the physical execution plan [3]. 1. File Options and Pushdown Mechanics The FileScanOptions struct is a central component for managing scan parameters, including projection pushdown [4]. It contains a with_columns field (an Option of Arc of slice of column names) that specifies which columns to read from a file [5][4]. When the query optimizer identifies that only a subset of columns is required, it populates this field to perform projection pushdown [1][2]. Predicate pushdown occurs by attempting to move filter expressions down the logical plan until they reach a scan node [1][2]. At the Scan node level, these predicates can be applied either as a filter on the loaded data or, for formats like Parquet, by leveraging metadata (such as min/max statistics) to skip entire row groups [2]. The Scan IR variant includes fields for predicate (an optional expression) and file_options to carry this state [6][7]. 2. Schema and IR Conversion The IR (Intermediate Representation) maintains the schema of the plan to ensure correct execution. The scan_schema method in the IR implementation retrieves the schema associated with a scan node while intentionally ignoring current projections, which allows the optimizer to correctly calculate and apply predicates that might be affected by projected columns [8]. During the conversion from DslPlan to IR, the system resolves these requirements: - The DslPlan::Scan struct holds the initial scan definition, including potential predicates and file options [7]. - The conversion logic (dsl_to_ir) processes these into the final IR::Scan variant, ensuring the file info and options are correctly materialized [3]. - The optimizer traverses the tree, pushing predicates (using modules like predicate_pushdown) and projections down into these nodes [9][1]. 3. Source Code Pointers Key implementation areas in the Polars source code include: - Plan Definitions: crates/polars-plan/src/plans/ir/ for the IR structure and crates/polars-plan/src/dsl/ for the DSL and FileScanOptions [8][4][7]. - Optimization Logic: polars/polars-lazy/polars-plan/src/logical_plan/optimizer/predicate_pushdown/ for the core logic that moves filters past other nodes [9]. - Conversion: crates/polars-plan/src/plans/conversion/dsl_to_ir/ for how the logical plan is prepared for execution [3]. Polars also categorizes expressions during pushdown—such as Pushable, Fallible, or Barrier—to handle edge cases where pushing a predicate might incorrectly mask errors or change query semantics [10].

site:github.com/pola-rs/polars "pub fn get_schema" "NodeTraverser" Scan output_schema
💡 Result:
In the Polars library, NodeTraverser is a mechanism used for navigating and inspecting the Intermediate Representation (IR) of logical plans [1][2]. The get_schema method is used to retrieve the schema of a specific node within the plan [3][1]. When the NodeTraverser encounters an IR::Scan node, the output schema is determined as follows: The Scan node contains an output_schema field [3][4]. The logic typically checks if this output_schema is Some; if it is, that schema is used [3]. If it is None, it defaults to the schema provided by the file_info associated with the scan [3]. In Rust, this is implemented within the IR::schema function (often found in crates/polars-plan/src/plans/ir/schema.rs) [3]: match self { //... other variants Scan { output_schema, file_info,.. } => output_schema.as_ref.unwrap_or(&file_info.schema), //... } This ensures that any projection or modification applied to the scan is reflected in the schema returned by the traverser [3][4]. NodeTraverser is also exposed to Python, allowing for introspection of these plans [1][2].

site:github.com/pola-rs/polars "output_schema" "with_columns" "predicate" Scan FileScanOptions
💡 Result:
The terms output_schema, with_columns, predicate, Scan, and FileScanOptions are components associated with the internal plan and execution infrastructure of the Polars data processing library [1][2][3]. These structures are used during the translation of logical plans to physical execution plans, particularly when handling file-based or anonymous scans [1][3]. Key details: 1. FileScanOptions: This is a configuration structure used to define how a file scan should be executed [1][4]. It commonly contains fields such as projection (often mapped to with_columns in higher-level APIs) [3][5], n_rows (for slicing) [1], and schema-related information [1]. 2. Scan: In the Polars IR (Intermediate Representation), Scan nodes represent the source of data [5]. They are designed to support optimizations like projection pushdown (using with_columns) and predicate pushdown (using predicate) [1][3][6]. 3. output_schema: This field defines the schema of the data produced by a node in the execution graph [1][3]. It is often explicitly checked or resolved during plan conversion to ensure type consistency, particularly when user-defined functions or custom scan operations are involved [2][3]. 4. with_columns: This is used for projection pushdown, allowing the scan operation to read only the necessary columns from the source rather than the entire dataset [1][3]. 5. predicate: This enables predicate pushdown, where filter expressions are pushed into the scan operation itself [1][3][6]. If the underlying scan source supports it, the filtering is performed as data is being read; otherwise, it is applied as a subsequent operation in the execution engine [3][6]. These components work together to minimize I/O and memory usage by ensuring that only required columns and rows reach the computation engine [3]. Detailed logic for these is primarily found within the Polars Rust codebase under the crates/polars-plan and crates/polars-mem-engine directories [2][3].

Resolve predicate-only column schemas in hybrid Parquet scans.
with_columns can include columns used only by a pushed predicate, while schema contains only projected output columns. A query such as .filter(pl.col("b") > 1).select("a") can therefore raise KeyError: 'b' in these list comprehensions. Resolve materialized names against the full source schema and add a streaming regression test.

Update the hybrid Parquet scan schema resolution around filter_df and payload_df
so predicate-only columns are looked up in the full source schema rather than
the projected output schema, avoiding KeyError for names such as b. Preserve the
final select against the requested output schema, and add a streaming regression
test covering a filter-only column followed by selecting another column.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Add an execution-path assertion for hybrid scanning.
assert_gpu_result_equal checks only the result. It does not prove that _read_with_hybrid_scan ran. A regression that routes the numeric predicate to Scan.do_evaluate can still pass. The downstream selection logic in python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/streaming/io.py:428-558 uses the hybrid reader only for eligible predicates and falls back otherwise. Add a spy or existing execution metric for the numeric cases, and assert fallback behavior for the string and None cases.
As per coding guidelines, add unit tests and unit benchmarks.

Extend test_split_scan_hybrid to verify execution paths, not only output:
instrument the hybrid reader method _read_with_hybrid_scan (or reuse an existing
execution metric) and assert it runs for the numeric predicates, while asserting
the default parquet reader path for the string predicate and None case. Keep the
existing result comparison and parameterized coverage, adding only the focused
unit-test assertions requested.

Correct the fallback comment spelling.
Change fallsback to falls back. The Python pre-commit checks include codespell.
As per coding guidelines, cuDF uses codespell to find spelling mistakes.
