Follow-up to #323.

Upgrade to Substrait spec v0.108.0 without losing the definitions that a plan needs. Builders now resolve detached relations as well as detached expressions before copying a tree. This keeps subqueries such as EXISTS attached to the relation they read. Unreachable table entries do not invalidate an otherwise usable plan.

Schema inference resolves named lambdas both when called directly and when passed as function arguments. Builders keep the definitions when composing plans and reject conflicting anchors. They also reject subqueries that would lose their definitions when embedded in an ExtendedExpression.

BREAKING CHANGE: The standard datetime extension no longer resolves subtract(precision_timestamp_tz<P>, interval_year) with two arguments. Pass the IANA time zone as the third string argument, for example sub.f.subtract(sub.col("ts"), sub.col("offset"), "America/New_York").

Resolve detached subqueries before rebuilding plans. Keep plan-scoped lambda definitions with their calls and infer signatures in dependency order.

BREAKING CHANGE: When subtracting an interval_year from a precision_timestamp_tz<P>, pass the IANA time zone as the third string argument.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for inferring and preserving named lambdas when working with plans, including validation of their dependencies and references.
    • Added support for resolving detached relations as well as expressions, with clearer display of detached relations.
    • DataFrame hints now work with plans that reference detached relations.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Plan and subquery combinations now reject conflicting or unsupported named-lambda dependencies.
    • Updated dependency versions to Substrait v0.108.0 and documented relevant upgrade considerations.

The update moves the project dependencies to Substrait v0.108.0. It adds named-lambda inference and builder checks, expands detached-table resolution to relations and expressions, and updates integrations, tests, and documentation.

Changes: Named lambda handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Named-lambda inference
src/substrait/type_inference.py, src/substrait/utils/__init__.py, tests/test_type_inference.py
Plan inference now builds named-lambda signatures, orders dependencies, checks for cycles and unsupported captures, and infers named references and invocations. Tests cover forward references, argument validation, scope restrictions, and shared-subtree dependencies.
Plan composition and lambda metadata
src/substrait/builders/plan.py, tests/builders/plan/test_named_lambdas.py
Plan builders merge compatible named-lambda definitions and reject conflicts or unsafe remapping and subtree rebasing. Tests cover composition, bindings, aliases, and opaque payloads.
Subquery and ExtendedExpression boundaries
src/substrait/builders/extended_expression.py, tests/builders/plan/test_named_lambdas.py, README.md
Subqueries reject named-lambda dependencies that cannot travel with embedded relations. The README documents anchor conflicts and subquery restrictions.

Detached relations and Substrait v0.108.0

Layer / File(s) Summary
Detached-table representation and resolution
src/substrait/utils/detached.py, pyproject.toml, README.md
Detached-table resolution now handles relation and expression entries, validates reachable targets, and resolves a copy when needed. Detachment still cuts expressions only. Dependency pins and upgrade guidance now reference v0.108.0.
Resolution integrations and display
src/substrait/utils/__init__.py, src/substrait/dataframe/frame.py, src/substrait/utils/display.py, tests/test_detached.py, tests/test_utils.py
Outer-reference conversion and DataFrame hints resolve present tables. The printer displays detached relations and their ordinals. Tests cover resolution, malformed references, opaque payloads, and display.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 70.73% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 41 functions across 11 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Fix the resolve_present_tables docstring.

The text says "Use resolve_detached to also validate ordinals when no table is present." This wording is ambiguous.

resolve_present_tables does not validate ordinals. It also does not resolve ordinals when no table is present. resolve_detached handles that case. Reword the sentence to state this directly.

Also, the docstring says "without scanning table-free inputs". Make clear that table-free inputs are returned as the same object, and that callers can mutate it.
