📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds Polars and Arrow interoperability, lazy Polars query execution, deterministic schema inference, Arrow struct helpers, and CytoDataFrame APIs for conversion and Parquet scanning. Package exports, dependency bounds, installation guidance, cache behavior, rendering safety, and tests are updated.

Changes

Polars/Arrow Backend and Lazy Query Layer

Layer / File(s) Summary
Engine abstraction and conversions
src/cytodataframe/engine.py, tests/test_engine.py
Adds backend detection, pandas/Polars/Arrow conversions, Parquet readers, and round-trip tests.
CytoSchema classification and struct helpers
src/cytodataframe/schema.py, tests/test_schema.py
Adds deterministic column-role inference, validation, serialization, Arrow struct helpers, and backend consistency tests.
CytoLazyFrame query and materialization
src/cytodataframe/lazy.py, tests/test_lazy.py
Adds lazy filtering, grouping, joins, feature selection, context propagation, materialization, and Parquet pipeline tests.
CytoDataFrame interchange, rendering, and cache updates
src/cytodataframe/frame.py, tests/test_frame.py
Adds Polars/Arrow input normalization, conversion methods, schema access, file loading, lazy Parquet scanning, updated optional-feature errors, safer image lookup and legend escaping, and crop-aware bounded cache keys.
Package exports, packaging, and documentation
src/cytodataframe/__init__.py, pyproject.toml, README.md, .pre-commit-config.yaml
Exports new components, resolves versions dynamically, updates dependency and tooling bounds, and documents interoperability and optional extras.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f2e18

The migration retains open notebook rendering, HTML-safety, cache correctness, and public typing concerns. These can affect interactive users and should be resolved before merge.

@d33bs Do you still require my review for this? I see this is from a few months ago, so wanted to make sure that I am not a block here!

d33bs and others added 2 commits September 3, 2026 09:55
Catches up with upstream fixes (whole-FOV .T rendering fix, bounding-box
offset cropping, multi-channel support, stability/performance work,
version-wiring via setuptools-scm) while preserving the polars/Arrow
migration work (engine.py, lazy.py, schema.py, optional ome/viz3d
dependency extras). Regenerated uv.lock via `uv lock` against the
merged pyproject.toml rather than hand-merging the lockfile.

Use a collision-free cache key that includes crop state.

f"{row}::{column}" can identify different cells with the same string. For example, (row="a::b", column="c") and (row="a", column="b::c") collide. The cached result also depends on options such as volume_disable_bbox_crop and volume_bbox_column_map, but those values are not part of the key.

Use a tuple key and invalidate or partition the cache when crop-related settings change.

3731-3733: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Bound the negative 3D cache.

_volume_cache honors volume_cache_max_entries, but _volume_not_3d_cache is an unbounded set. Each failed probe retains one key for the lifetime of the frame. Repeated probes of distinct 2D cells can therefore grow memory without limit.

Store negative results in a bounded LRU structure or evict them using the same cache limit.

2233-2237: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Guard missing image-path mappings.

This mapping is intentionally partial. It excludes image columns without a FileName/PathName pair. However, the renderer still indexes image_path_cols[image_col] for every image column when the mapping is non-empty at Line 5477. A frame containing one mapped image column and one unmapped image column raises KeyError and aborts HTML rendering.

Use membership-safe lookup.

Suggested fix

+                            row[image_path_cols[image_col]]

167-167: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Update the constructor annotation for the new backends.

The constructor now accepts Polars lazy frames, Polars dataframes, and Arrow tables, but data still excludes these types. Static type checkers will reject supported calls such as CytoDataFrame(polars_dataframe). Extend the annotation with the engine’s supported tabular type alias or the optional backend types.

1722-1729: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Derive the Parquet parent directory in scan_parquet.

When data_context_dir is None, CytoDataFrame.scan_parquet stores None in the lazy context. collect() then passes this value to CytoDataFrame with an in-memory pandas frame, so the constructor cannot derive the Parquet parent directory. Relative image paths may not resolve. Set data_context_dir to the local Parquet source parent before calling _lazy_scan_parquet.
