Description

This Wave 2 follow-up to #23691 migrates the central stream helpers from rmm::cuda_stream_view to cuda::stream_ref, including get_default_stream(), default_stream_value, fork_streams, and join_streams.

It also updates the direct Java, pylibcudf, and libcudf_streaming call sites whose method calls depend on those helper return types. rmm::cuda_stream ownership remains unchanged.

This should land after the Wave 1 downstream stream_ref PRs.

Replaces the fork PR vyasr#9.

Contributes to #23636

Silly question: Why is this not std::copy() to back_inserter{stream_refs}?

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Refactor

    • Modernized CUDA stream handling across C++, Python, and Java integrations.
    • Updated default-stream interfaces while preserving per-thread and legacy stream behavior.
    • Improved interoperability across asynchronous streaming operations and benchmarks.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Updated synchronization and stream conversions for compatibility with current CUDA APIs.
    • Ensured streaming operations, Bloom filters, distinct counting, merging, and serialized expression compilation continue to work correctly.
    • Improved handling of default and null streams for more reliable asynchronous execution.

Walkthrough

The change migrates default-stream APIs from rmm::cuda_stream_view to cuda::stream_ref. Streaming code now adapts stream references for RMM joins. Benchmarks, tests, Python wrappers, and native Java call sites use get() and sync().

Changes

CUDA stream_ref migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Default stream contracts and implementation
cpp/include/cudf/.../default_stream.hpp, cpp/src/utilities/default_stream.cpp
Default stream declarations and definitions now use cuda::stream_ref. Per-thread and legacy default-stream selection remains unchanged.
Python and streaming stream bindings
python/pylibcudf/..., cpp/libcudf_streaming/include/..., cpp/libcudf_streaming/src/...
Python wrappers and streaming structures use cuda::stream_ref, explicit null initialization, and adapters to RMM stream views.
Streaming stream adaptation
cpp/libcudf_streaming/src/*, cpp/libcudf_streaming/benchmarks/streaming/ndsh/*
Streaming joins convert CUDA stream references and stream ranges to RMM-compatible views.
Consumer call-site updates
cpp/benchmarks/*, cpp/tests/*, java/src/main/native/src/CompiledExpression.cpp
Benchmarks and tests use get() and sync() with the updated stream interface. Serialized AST compilation uses sync().

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bd926

The PR changes central stream helper return types, but two streaming call sites still pass the new stream type to an API requiring the previous type, which can cause a build failure. Those calls should be adapted before merging; direct tests for the new adapters should also be added.

Add direct tests for the stream adapters.

Add unit tests for both scalar overloads and as_rmm_cuda_stream_view_range, using cuda::stream_ref and rmm::cuda_stream_view ranges. Add the required unit benchmark.

All non-Spark checks have passed on the latest head (11374ea6bf). The only remaining red check is spark-rapids-jni / spark-rapids-jni-build, which is failing on stale downstream Spark JNI stream APIs.

I opened NVIDIA/cudf-spark-jni#5053 as a current-main replacement for the conflicting NVIDIA/cudf-spark-jni#5014. #5053 is green and mergeable, but still needs review before this Spark check can be rerun successfully here.

Marking as DO NOT MERGE until we get cudf-spark copacetic with upstream again (so that we can properly validate with CI on this branch) and sort out how we want to deal with stream pools (the interface with rapidsmpf in this PR is a bit noisy because of the stream pool boundary involving stream_ref<->cuda_stream_view interchange).
