Subject: [PATCH 01/45] Fix 'Unexpected short subpass' exception in parquet
 chunked reader. (#18019)

Fixes  https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf/issues/18043

An incorrect computation in the subpass generation code would come to
the conclusion that there weren't enough rows to decode for list columns
under certain circumstances.

This PR fixes the issue and I did a little bit of variable naming
cleanup around the area. Ultimately the true source of the bug was
poorly named variables causing them to be used incorrectly.

Edit: I've disabled various checks in the chunked reader tests that
expect specific chunk counts being returned from chunking operations.
Changes to decompression temporary memory usage can make this
unreliable. We will need a smarter solution down the road.

Subject: [PATCH 02/45] Fix upstream dask `loc` test (#18045)

The upstream [test_gpu_loc dask test is failing](https://github.com/rapidsai/dask-upstream-testing/actions/runs/13419658348/job/37489003426), and the culprit seems to be https://github.com/dask/dask/pull/11745

I don't see anything "wrong" with the changes in that PR. However, the divisions assertion is now sensitive to the fact that an  element of divisions can end up being a 0-dimensional cupy arrays for GPU-backed data. The `test_gpu_loc` feels like a pretty strange corner case to me. So, this PR proposes a temporary fix in dask-cudf.

Subject: [PATCH 03/45] Fix hang on invalid UTF-8 data in string_view iterator
 (#18039)

The `cudf::string_view::const_iterator` provides functions that navigate through UTF-8 variable-length characters appropriately.
This PR fixes the iterator increment logic to prevent a possible infinite loop when the iterator wraps invalid UTF-8 encoded memory,

Subject: [PATCH 04/45] Replace deprecated CCCL features (#18036)

CCCL has deprecated a set of features that will be removed in an upcoming release.

Replace them with the suggested alternative.

NOTE: We have some facilities like `cub::AliasTemporaries` that have been internalized in the 2.8 release, where there is still an alias available in the `cub` namespace.

However that alias will be removed in the CCCL 3.0 release that we are testing in our CI. I added a conditional compilation there to ensure we are still able to build against CCCL 3.0. We can remove this once rapids switches to CCCL 2.8

Subject: [PATCH 05/45] Test narwhals in CI (#17884)

Contributes to #17662.

@MarcoGorelli provided very helpful instructions for running the narwhals test suite. We should examine and correct the failing tests. We are down to 39 failures, shown in [this Kaggle notebook](https://www.kaggle.com/code/marcogorelli/testing-cudf-in-narwhals?scriptVersionId=220053914).

Subject: [PATCH 07/45] Allow cudf::type_to_id<T const>() (#17831)

Currently, `cudf::type_to_id<X>` where X is a valid type for converting to a `cudf::id` only works if X is neither `const` nor `volatile`.  However, if it has either of those "cv" qualifiers, the function returns `type_id::EMPTY`.

With this change, return the correct type id no matter the cv-qualifiers.

Subject: [PATCH 08/45] Fix memcopy direction for concatenate (#18058)

`cudaMemcpyAsync` can return a `cudaError_t` value which should be checked for runtime errors.

We should preserve the behavior of `thrust::copy` which got replaced with the `cudaMemcpyAsync` call in #17584. The driver may do the right thing and infer the source and destination pointer location instead of using the `cudaMemcpyKind`, but this still leads to weird circumstances where the copy type in code is DtoD while the actual copy at runtime is HtoD

Subject: [PATCH 09/45] Host Snappy compression (#17824)

Issue #17641

Simple implementation of the algorithm based on https://github.com/google/snappy/blob/main/snappy.cc.

Other changes:
- Limited the number of threads in the compression thread pool to 32, based on benchmark results;
- Submit tasks to the thread pool starting from the largest buffers to improve CPU utilization (impact verified with benchmark results);
- Changed the environment variable from `LIBCUDF_USE_HOST_COMPRESSION` to `LIBCUDF_HOST_COMPRESSION`, and its type to string, to allow potential future settings "OFF", "AUTO" and "ON".

Subject: [PATCH 12/45] Fix `dask_cudf.to_orc` deprecation (#18038)

**TLDR**: This PR adds a trivial change to avoid multiple deprecation-warning stages when `import dask_cudf.to_orc` is called.

Dask cuDF uses a `_deprecated_api` utility to discourage users from importing IO functions from `dask_cudf.io`. We also encourage users to leverage `DataFrame` methods in lieu of stand-alone functions for output IO. For example, we want people to call `df.to_orc(...)` (and to avoid patterns like `from dask_cudf import to_orc`).

It turns out that the calling `import dask_cudf.to_orc` currently results in **two** deprecation warnings being raised before the "real" `dask_cudf.io.orc.to_orc` implementation is reached. This is because the first `dask_cudf.to_orc` import is incorrectly redirected to `dask_cudf.io.to_orc` (rather than `dask_cudf.io.orc.to_orc`). This subtle bug doesn't seem to cause problems in CI right now, but I do see local failures in `test_orc.py::test_deprecated_api_paths` with a slightly different environment (not sure of the specific differences atm).

Subject: [PATCH 16/45] Support melt(ignore_index=False) (#18080)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Additionally, refactors `melt` to avoid Series/DataFrame constructors by operating on columns and passing the result to `_from_data`

```python
In [1]: import numpy as np, cudf

In [2]: df = cudf.DataFrame(np.ones((1000, 1000)))

In [3]: %timeit df.melt(id_vars=range(50, 300))   # this PR
1.35 s ± 12.1 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

In [3]: %timeit df.melt(id_vars=range(50, 300))  # branch-25.04

24.8 s ± 47 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)
```

Subject: [PATCH 17/45] Remove `FindCUDAToolkit` backport (#18081)

In 81cd4a00, `FindCUDAToolkit.cmake` was backported from CMake 3.31 to get
https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/commit/b38a8e77cb3c8401b3022a68f07a4fd77b290524, which was introduced in CMake 3.28. Since we now require CMake 3.30, we no longer need the backport.

-FindCUDAToolkit
----------------
-
-.. versionadded:: 3.17
-
-This script locates the NVIDIA CUDA toolkit and the associated libraries, but
-does not require the ``CUDA`` language be enabled for a given project. This
-module does not search for the NVIDIA CUDA Samples.
-
-.. versionadded:: 3.19
-  QNX support.
-
-Search Behavior
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The CUDA Toolkit search behavior uses the following order:
-
-1. If the ``CUDA`` language has been enabled we will use the directory
-   containing the compiler as the first search location for ``nvcc``.
-
-2. If the variable :variable:`CMAKE_CUDA_COMPILER <CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER>` or
-   the environment variable :envvar:`CUDACXX` is defined, it will be used
-   as the path to the ``nvcc`` executable.
-
-3. If the ``CUDAToolkit_ROOT`` cmake configuration variable (e.g.,
-   ``-DCUDAToolkit_ROOT=/some/path``) *or* environment variable is defined, it
-   will be searched.  If both an environment variable **and** a
-   configuration variable are specified, the *configuration* variable takes
-   precedence.
-
-   The directory specified here must be such that the executable ``nvcc`` or
-   the appropriate ``version.txt`` or ``version.json`` file can be found
-   underneath the specified directory.
-
-4. If the CUDA_PATH environment variable is defined, it will be searched
-   for ``nvcc``.
-
-5. The user's path is searched for ``nvcc`` using :command:`find_program`.  If
-   this is found, no subsequent search attempts are performed.  Users are
-   responsible for ensuring that the first ``nvcc`` to show up in the path is
-   the desired path in the event that multiple CUDA Toolkits are installed.
-
-6. On Unix systems, if the symbolic link ``/usr/local/cuda`` exists, this is
-   used.  No subsequent search attempts are performed.  No default symbolic link
-   location exists for the Windows platform.
-
-7. The platform specific default install locations are searched.  If exactly one
-   candidate is found, this is used.  The default CUDA Toolkit install locations
-   searched are:
-
-   +-------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
-   | Platform    | Search Pattern                                              |
-   +=============+=============================================================+
-   | macOS       | ``/Developer/NVIDIA/CUDA-X.Y``                              |
-   +-------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
-   | Other Unix  | ``/usr/local/cuda-X.Y``                                     |
-   +-------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
-   | Windows     | ``C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\vX.Y`` |
-   +-------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-   Where ``X.Y`` would be a specific version of the CUDA Toolkit, such as
-   ``/usr/local/cuda-9.0`` or
-   ``C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v9.0``
-
-   .. note::
-
-       When multiple CUDA Toolkits are installed in the default location of a
-       system (e.g., both ``/usr/local/cuda-9.0`` and ``/usr/local/cuda-10.0``
-       exist but the ``/usr/local/cuda`` symbolic link does **not** exist), this
-       package is marked as **not** found.
-
-       There are too many factors involved in making an automatic decision in
-       the presence of multiple CUDA Toolkits being installed.  In this
-       situation, users are encouraged to either (1) set ``CUDAToolkit_ROOT`` or
-       (2) ensure that the correct ``nvcc`` executable shows up in ``$PATH`` for
-       :command:`find_program` to find.
-
-Arguments
-^^^^^^^^^
-
-``[<version>]``
-    The ``[<version>]`` argument requests a version with which the package found
-    should be compatible. See :ref:`find_package version format <FIND_PACKAGE_VERSION_FORMAT>`
-    for more details.
-
-Options
-^^^^^^^
-
-``REQUIRED``
-    If specified, configuration will error if a suitable CUDA Toolkit is not
-    found.
-
-``QUIET``
-    If specified, the search for a suitable CUDA Toolkit will not produce any
-    messages.
-
-``EXACT``
-    If specified, the CUDA Toolkit is considered found only if the exact
-    ``VERSION`` specified is recovered.
-

-Result variables
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-``CUDAToolkit_FOUND``
-    A boolean specifying whether or not the CUDA Toolkit was found.
-
-``CUDAToolkit_VERSION``
-    The exact version of the CUDA Toolkit found (as reported by
-    ``nvcc --version``, ``version.txt``, or ``version.json``).
-
-``CUDAToolkit_VERSION_MAJOR``
-    The major version of the CUDA Toolkit.
-
-``CUDAToolkit_VERSION_MINOR``
-    The minor version of the CUDA Toolkit.
-
-``CUDAToolkit_VERSION_PATCH``
-    The patch version of the CUDA Toolkit.
-
-``CUDAToolkit_BIN_DIR``
-    The path to the CUDA Toolkit library directory that contains the CUDA
-    executable ``nvcc``.
-
-``CUDAToolkit_INCLUDE_DIRS``
-    List of paths to all the CUDA Toolkit folders containing header files
-    required to compile a project linking against CUDA.
-
-``CUDAToolkit_LIBRARY_DIR``
-    The path to the CUDA Toolkit library directory that contains the CUDA
-    Runtime library ``cudart``.
-
-``CUDAToolkit_LIBRARY_ROOT``
-    .. versionadded:: 3.18
-
-    The path to the CUDA Toolkit directory containing the nvvm directory and
-    either version.txt or version.json.
-
-``CUDAToolkit_TARGET_DIR``
-    The path to the CUDA Toolkit directory including the target architecture
-    when cross-compiling. When not cross-compiling this will be equivalent to
-    the parent directory of ``CUDAToolkit_BIN_DIR``.
-
-``CUDAToolkit_NVCC_EXECUTABLE``
-    The path to the NVIDIA CUDA compiler ``nvcc``.  Note that this path may
-    **not** be the same as
-    :variable:`CMAKE_CUDA_COMPILER <CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER>`.  ``nvcc`` must be
-    found to determine the CUDA Toolkit version as well as determining other
-    features of the Toolkit.  This variable is set for the convenience of
-    modules that depend on this one.

Subject: [PATCH 18/45] Read the footers in parallel when reading multiple
 Parquet files (#17957)

Depends on https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf/pull/18018

When reading multiple files, all data(i.e. pages) IO is performed in the same "batch", allowing parallel IO operations (provided by kvikIO). However, footers are read serially, leading to poor performance when reading many files. This is especially pronounced for IO that benefits from high level of parallelism.

This PR performs footer reading/parsing asynchronously using an internal thread pool. The pool size can be controlled with an environment variable `LIBCUDF_NUM_HOST_WORKERS`.

Subject: [PATCH 19/45] Support IntervalDtype(subtype=None) (#18017)

closes https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf/issues/17997

Will help unblock https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf/pull/17978 where we will need to interpret `dtype="interval"` as "interval without a subtype" instead of "interval with float64 subtype"

This changes from `conda mambabuild` to `conda build`. Conda now uses the mamba solver so no performance regressions are expected.

This is a temporary change as we plan to migrate to `rattler-build` in the near future. However, this is needed sooner to drop `boa` and unblock Python 3.13 migrations.

Subject: [PATCH 23/45] Update numba dep and upper-bound numpy (#18078)

This PR updates to numba-cuda 0.4 and numba 0.61. A numpy upper-bound is added since it looks like numpy 2.1 made some changes with which we are currently incompatible. Previously numba provided that upper bound for us.

Subject: [PATCH 26/45] Add new nvtext::normalize_characters API (#17818)

Adds new normalizer APIs as part of the rework for the subword-tokenizer.
The new API is split into 2 parts. First a normalizer object is created with appropriate state: lower-case and special-tokens. The normalizing tables are currently hardcoded inside libcudf. Future versions of the this may load these tables from some other source. The 2nd API is given the input strings column and the normalizer object and returns a normalized strings column. The normalizer object can be reused on all subsequent `normalize_characters` calls.

The current `nvtext::normalize_characters` loads the normalizing tables on each call which can be significant overhead. This API will be deprecated and replaced by these 2 new ones. Some utility functions from that implementation have been refactored to be used by both until the old one is removed.

The first API creates the normalizer object.
```cpp
std::unique_ptr<character_normalizer> create_character_normalizer(
  bool do_lower_case,
  cudf::strings_column_view const& special_tokens,
  rmm::cuda_stream_view stream,
  rmm::device_async_resource_ref mr);
```

The 2nd API uses the normalizer on a strings column:
```cpp
std::unique_ptr<cudf::column> normalize_characters(
  cudf::strings_column_view const& input,
  character_normalizer const& normalizer,
  rmm::cuda_stream_view stream,
  rmm::device_async_resource_ref mr);
```

Using the python interface:
```python
import cudf
from cudf.core.character_normalizer import CharacterNormalizer

cn = CharacterNormalizer(do_lower=False)
sn = cn.normalize(input_strings)

```

+ * - adding padding around the [CJK Unicode block

+ * Details on _unicode category_ can be found here:
+ * https://unicodebook.readthedocs.io/unicode.html#categories
+ *
+ * If `do_lower_case = true`, lower-casing also removes any accents. The

+ * and lower-casing cannot be performed without also removing accents.

Subject: [PATCH 28/45] Fix scatter_by_map with spilling enabled (#18095)

closes https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf/issues/18088

Before the old Cython bindings of `columns_split` spill locked the conversion from libcudf to a cudf Python column. When I replaced these bindings, this spill locking was removed during the refactor.

I'm spot checking that other APIs are not affected. If so I can open PRs for those

Subject: [PATCH 31/45] Short circuit Index.equal if compared Index isn't same
 type (#18067)

closes https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf/issues/8689

Before, comparing two different Index subclasses would execute a GPU kernel when we know they wouldn't be equal (e.g. DatetimeIndex equals RangeIndex). This PR add a short circuit clause to check that we are comparing the same subclasses.

Also ensures we don't return a `np.bool_` object from this result.

Subject: [PATCH 33/45] Remove static column vectors from window function
 tests. (#18099)

Fixes #18079.

This commit fixes the failures reported in #18079, where the use of static column vector objects in the tests causes the use of a CUDA runtime context before it's been initialized, causing the tests to fail with:
```
parallel_for failed: cudaErrorInvalidResourceHandle: invalid resource handle
```

The solution is to switch the static column vectors to runtime, as a member of the test utility class `rolling_runner`.

Subject: [PATCH 34/45] Align StringColumn constructor with ColumnBase base
 class (#18086)

With this PR, the constructors of all subclasses of `ColumnBase` are aligned.

This will allow us to, in the future, more easily align on an interface for a public `ColumnBase` that other libraries can use to extend cudf.

Subject: [PATCH 38/45] Make Column.view/can_cast_safely accept a dtype object
 (#18066)

Partially broken off from https://github.com/rapidsai/cudf/pull/17978

Since Column objects are technically private, not marking this as breaking.

Subject: [PATCH 43/45] Add include for `<functional>` (#18102)

There are some files that use `std::function` and it seems they were relying on transitive includes from CCCL headers because building cudf fails with CCCL 2.8, which is the next CCCL release in line for rapids

Authors:

Subject: [PATCH 44/45] Add new nvtext tokenized minhash API (#17944)

Creates a new minhash API that works on ngrams of row elements given a list column of strings.

```
std::unique_ptr<cudf::column> minhash_ngrams(
  cudf::lists_column_view const& input,
  cudf::size_type ngrams,
  uint32_t seed,
  cudf::device_span<uint32_t const> parameter_a,
  cudf::device_span<uint32_t const> parameter_b,
  rmm::cuda_stream_view stream,
  rmm::device_async_resource_ref mr);
```

The input column is expected to be rows of words (strings) and each row is hashed using a sliding window of words (ngrams) and then the permuted algorithm is re-used to produce the minhash values.
