Pass SessionConfig extensions to ObjectStore used during physical plan execution #14804

Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?

In apache/arrow-rs-object-store#17 I've described a general need for the ObjectStore trait to be able to support passing contextual data to custom implementations. In apache/arrow-rs#7160 I have implemented and approach to this by providing the ability for GetOptions to store opaque instances of values indexed by their TypeId, similar to what is possible in datafusion with SessionConfig.

This issue is about taking incorporating this new behavior(s) in ObjectStore and incorporating it here in datafusion such that the custom data on a SessionConfig is passed on when creating GetOptionss instances for retrieving files from an object store.

Describe the solution you'd like

I think the simplest approach here would be one where we create a new ObjectStore implementation during query execution that looks something like:

struct ContextualizedObjectStore {
    inner: Arc<dyn ObjectStore>,
    extensions: object_store::Extensions,
}

We would then have a get_opts method for the ObjectStore impl trait that looks something like:

    async fn get_opts(
        &self,
        location: &Path,
        mut options: GetOptions,
    ) -> object_store::Result<GetResult> {
        options.extensions = self.extensions.clone();
        self.inner.get_opts(location, options).await
    }

Initializing instances of this new type as a wrapper around whatever given Arc<dyn ObjectStore> is available would look something like:

        let object_store = context
            .runtime_env()
            .object_store(&self.object_store_url)
            .map(|inner: Arc<dyn ObjectStore>| -> Arc<dyn ObjectStore> {
                Arc::new(ContextualizedObjectStore::new(
                    inner,
                    context.session_config().clone_extensions_for_object_store(),
                ))
            });

With this approach, whenever the resulting Arc<dyn ObjectStore> is used to retrieve a file from object store, the underlying implementation would have access to the object_store::Extensions created from the SessionConfig extensions.

Describe alternatives you've considered

This is covered in apache/arrow-rs-object-store#17 and apache/arrow-rs#7135.

Basically, there are two alternative directions:

  • Update the ObjectStore API by providing optional trait methods that take an actual context type that can carry custom/extension data.
    • Considered by maintainers to be too heavy-handed.
  • Don't do anything.
    • This means for my use case, we wouldn't be able to properly parent tracing spans for object store accesses that happen during query execution.
