Adds support for configuring the UCXX progress mode through StreamingOptions and RAPIDSMPF_UCXX_PROGRESS_MODE.

This enables cudf-polars benchmarks and distributed Ray execution to use a non-default UCXX progress mode.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configurable streaming progress modes: polling, thread-blocking, and thread-polling.
    • The progress mode can be set explicitly or configured through an environment variable.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Explicit progress mode settings now take precedence over environment-based configuration.
    • Unspecified settings are omitted from serialized streaming options.

Walkthrough

StreamingOptions now supports ucxx_progress_mode values and environment-variable defaults. Tests cover RAPIDSMPF serialization, explicit-option precedence, environment loading, and omission of unspecified values.

Changes

UCXX progress mode configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define UCXX progress mode option
python/cudf_polars/cudf_polars/engine/options.py
StreamingOptions now supports polling, thread-blocking, and thread-polling. Unspecified values resolve from RAPIDSMPF_UCXX_PROGRESS_MODE.
Validate serialization and precedence
python/cudf_polars/tests/streaming/test_options.py
Tests verify serialized values, environment-variable loading, explicit-option precedence, and omission when no value is provided.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 959f8

The new option can silently remap existing positional StreamingOptions arguments, causing incorrect runtime configuration for callers that use positional construction. This is a bounded compatibility risk, so the PR should be updated or explicitly accepted by the owner before merge.

Cover every documented progress mode.

options.py documents polling, thread-blocking, and thread-polling, but this block tests only polling and thread-polling. Parameterize the environment and explicit-precedence tests over all three values, including thread-blocking.

Preserve the existing positional constructor contract.

StreamingOptions uses the default positional dataclass constructor. Adding ucxx_progress_mode before existing fields remaps later positional arguments. Move the new field after the existing fields, or make it keyword-only. Add a regression test for positional construction.

I think this is OK, not sure we care about stability of construction of streamingoptions argument order.

Do you have a preference on the order? I also questioned myself when I was doing that and decided to group it after the existing RapidsMPF and before executor options, does maintaining the existing grouping, but that was all.

I don't have a preference.

Since neither of us do, I think the present ordering is reasonable so I'll just merge it as is. Thanks for the review.
