Subject: [PATCH 001/106] Add PFOR core algorithm and tests

Implements the PFOR (Patched Frame of Reference) integer compression
algorithm as a standalone utility library in arrow/util/pfor/. Includes:
- Cost model for optimal bit width selection (histogram-based)
- Vector-level encode/decode with FOR + bit-packing + exceptions
- Page-level wrapper with header, offset array, and multi-vector layout
- Round-trip tests for int32 and int64 at the vector and page level,
  covering outliers, all-identical and all-zero runs, negative values,
  the int min/max edges, a single element, and a page whose length is
  an exact multiple of the vector size

Subject: [PATCH 002/106] Integrate PFOR encoding into parquet encoder/decoder

Adds PFOR = 11 to the Encoding enum and wires it into the parquet
read/write pipeline:
- PforEncoder<DType> in encoder.cc (buffers values, calls PforWrapper::Encode)
- PforDecoder<DType> in decoder.cc (decodes all values on first access)
- PFOR case in column_reader.cc InitializeDataDecoder
- Encoding string mapping in types.cc

Supports INT32 and INT64 column types.

Subject: [PATCH 003/106] Add PFOR encoding benchmark

Benchmarks encode/decode throughput for int32/int64 across 10 data
distributions inspired by Snowflake's NumericComprBenchmark: constant,
sequential, small range, high-base-small-range (timestamps), with
outliers (exception path), random, TPC-DS date/store/item/quantity keys.

Each distribution runs at 1K/10K/100K/1M elements. Reports bytes/s,
items/s, and compression ratio.

+//   - Constant: bit_width=0, best case
+//   - Sequential: small range, ideal FOR
+//   - SmallRange: clustered random, good FOR compression
+//   - HighBaseSmallRange: high absolute values, small delta range (timestamps)
+//   - WithOutliers: tests exception handling path
+//   - Random: worst case, full bit-width
+//   - TPC-DS DateSk/StoreSk/ItemSk/Quantity: realistic surrogate key distributions

Subject: [PATCH 013/106] Harden PFOR page header loading

Make LoadHeader fallible, use SafeLoadAs and SafeStore for header and offset
fields, and validate the packing mode, element width, vector size, and element
count at the page boundary.

Subject: [PATCH 014/106] Align PFOR interfaces with Arrow buffer types

Use int64_t for encoded sizes, uint8_t for byte buffers, and fully qualified
PFOR names at Parquet call sites. Remove the pointer casts made unnecessary by
the consistent buffer type.

Subject: [PATCH 017/106] Use bit_util helpers in PFOR and note the incremental
 paths

Replaces hand-rolled power-of-two and ceiling-division arithmetic with
bit_util::IsPowerOf2 and bit_util::CeilDiv, and records where
incremental encode and decode would hook in.

Subject: [PATCH 019/106] Fix IsPowerOf2(int32_t) ambiguity in pfor_wrapper.cc

Commit 00b631836 introduced ARROW_DCHECK(bit_util::IsPowerOf2(vector_size))
in PforWrapper<T>::Encode, but vector_size is int32_t and bit_util has
overloads only for int64_t and uint64_t -- the call is ambiguous and the
file no longer compiles.

Cast to int64_t to disambiguate. CeilDiv calls in the same file already
promote to int64_t implicitly via its int64_t-only signature.

Subject: [PATCH 021/106] Add a flat-output decode for FastLanes-FOR and
 benchmark it

DecodeFlat unpacks into a transposed scratch buffer per chunk and then
scatters via fromTransposed32, so output[i] == input[i]. This is the
FL_ORDER inverse of the gather step in Encode, which makes FastLanes
directly comparable against PFOR and DeltaBitPack, both of which
produce flat output. A round-trip test covers 4 chunks of random data.

Decode on aarch64, 102400 int32, 3-run median:

  Dataset     FL transposed   FL flat   PFOR    Delta
  EventDate        20 us       108 us   38 us   123 us
  EventTime        23 us       113 us   57 us   140 us
  GoodEvent        20 us       107 us   35 us   119 us

The transposed-kernel decode beats every other codec in the harness by
1.5-7x. The flat path pays roughly 85 us of scatter per 100K values,
which leaves it behind PFOR and still ahead of DeltaBitPack. That gap
is the FL_ORDER permutation alone, which is why the paper's
architecture keeps data in transposed order through the query.

Subject: [PATCH 022/106] Add the inverse FL_ORDER index mapping

Add toTransposed32 as the inverse of fromTransposed32 and correct the mapping
documentation. The two transforms are mutual inverses, not self-inverse.

Subject: [PATCH 023/106] Add FastLanes packing and output modes to PFOR

Record a backward-compatible packing mode per vector and dispatch between
sequential and FastLanes kernels. Let callers retain transposed output when
they can consume it, while preserving flat output as the default.

Subject: [PATCH 024/106] Add ARROW_RELEASE_O3 to keep CMake's default Release
 -O3

Arrow appends -O2 after CMake's default "-O3 -DNDEBUG" Release flags,
downgrading optimization because the last -O flag wins in GCC. The
bit-packing kernels are built around the inlining and loop unrolling -O3
enables, so the throughput figures quoted for them were measured with it
in effect, and a plain Release build does not reproduce them.

The option is off by default, so a plain Release build keeps Arrow's -O2.
With it on, Release and RelWithDebInfo keep -O3. Across the 18-dataset
comparison benchmark the transposed FastLanes decode picks up 10-17%
(EventDate 20.3 us -> 17.8 us, TrafficSourceID 20.2 us -> 16.7 us);
pfor+bitpack and the other codecs are unchanged within noise.

Subject: [PATCH 025/106] Cover bit_width 0 and 32 in the transposed-output
 tests

Two decode paths the existing transposed tests missed: bit_width 32,
which takes the UnpackBlock memcpy branch, and bit_width 0, the
constant fast path. Both check decoded[t] == input[fromTransposed32(t)].

Subject: [PATCH 027/106] Add a packing mode that interleaves without FL_ORDER

FastLanes' 04261537 reorder exists to break sequential dependencies for
DELTA and RLE, and to unify one layout across lane widths (VLDB '23,
sections 2.3-2.4). PFOR and FOR bit-packing need neither, yet the
FastLanes mode imported the reorder and with it the roughly 5x
flat-decode gather penalty.

FastLanesOrdered uses the same lane-interleaved kernel and skips the
reorder: encode packs in place with no gather, decode unpacks and emits
sequentially in original order. Compressed size matches FastLanes, and
flat output comes back at full unpack speed with no gather on either
side.

The mode now occupies bits 6-7 of the vector-info bit_width byte rather
than bit 7 alone.

Subject: [PATCH 028/106] Vectorize BitPack decode without heap scratch

Decode into stack scratch for normal vectors and keep scratch separate from the
output so the frame-add loop can vectorize. Reserve heap allocation for vectors
larger than the configured default.

Subject: [PATCH 029/106] Speed up PFOR encode with a wider histogram and stack
 deltas

perf put about half of encode in FindOptimalBitWidth's histogram and
the rest in EncodeVector. Two changes:

- FindOptimalBitWidth builds the bit-width histogram with 4 independent
  accumulators, so the read-modify-write does not serialize on repeated
  bins and the load, count-leading-zeros and bump chains overlap.
- Deltas use a stack scratch for the common case at or below vector
  size, dropping an allocation and a 4 KB zero-init per vector.

Encode moves from about 1.7 to about 2.2 GB/s median on
ClickBench-modeled columns. What remains is the scalar sequential
bit-packing in BitWriter; Arrow has no SIMD sequential packer, which
would be the next lever.

Subject: [PATCH 030/106] Skip FOR-add pass in PFOR decode when
 frame-of-reference is 0

When the frame of reference is zero there is no bias to add, so unpack
straight into the output buffer instead of into a scratch buffer followed
by an add-FOR pass. T and UnsignedT are the same width, so the unsigned
bits the unpacker writes are already the signed values. This removes both
the scratch buffer and the second pass for the common min==0 column, which
then decodes at the raw unpack speed.

Add Int32ZeroMinWithExceptions covering the new path (bit_width>0 with
FOR==0, multiple vectors, and outliers that exercise the exception patch).

Subject: [PATCH 032/106] Remove experimental FastLanes modes from PFOR

Keep the proposal limited to sequential BitPack after the comparison showed no
flat-output decode advantage from the FastLanes layouts. Retain the independent
PFOR encode and decode optimizations developed during the experiment.

64-bit widths, and add timestamp, key, scaled-money, identifier, and byte-count
distributions.

Subject: [PATCH 034/106] Fold frame bias into the bit unpacker

Add unpack_bias so frame-of-reference decoders can apply their bias before each
store instead of traversing the output twice. Preserve the memcpy-speed
full-width path and use portable non-aliasing annotations.

Subject: [PATCH 035/106] Store the PFOR bit width in 7 bits, not 6

The bit_width byte was masked to 0x3F on both store and load. The range is
0..64 inclusive and 64 does not fit in six bits, so an INT64 vector whose
deltas need the full 64 bits was serialized with width 0. Such a vector has
no exceptions either, so Load reported a constant vector and DecodeVector
took its early return and filled the output with the frame of reference --
silently, with no error and no size mismatch. Reachable from a column whose
minimum and maximum span the whole int64 range.

Widen the mask to 0x7F, leaving bit 7 reserved. INT32 was never affected:
its maximum width of 32 always fit.

 buffer

An element count over the output capacity, or an offset array or vector
offset past the end of the page, no longer reads or writes out of bounds.

Every element of a maximum-size vector can be an exception, so the count
reaches 32768, one past what the signed 16-bit field held.

writes non-null values densely, so spread them over the valid runs.

Subject: [PATCH 049/106] Build PFOR into libarrow instead of recompiling it

pfor.cc and pfor_wrapper.cc were in no library source list, so the test,
the benchmark and libparquet each compiled their own copy.

Subject: [PATCH 050/106] Stop PforDecoder from shadowing its base class page
 state

It declared its own data_ and never called Base::SetData, so len_ stayed 0
and a full-page Decode now unpacks into the caller's buffer directly.

43 tests become 80. Ten cases that only ran at 32 bits now run at 64, which
caught corrupt-page tests whose outlier the cost model declined to patch
once an exception cost a 64-bit value.

Subject: [PATCH 054/106] Take the PFOR value count from the page's own header

A parquet page header counts nulls, and a PFOR page stores only the
non-null values, so the level count the reader hands SetData is an upper
bound on the values in the payload rather than the number of them. The
decoder was using it as both: as the amount to decode and as the amount
of decoded output to hand back, which for any nullable column decoded
past the end of what the page actually holds.

Read the count from the page header instead, where the encoder wrote it,
and keep the level count only as the bound it is. Decoding a whole page
in one call still writes straight into the caller's buffer; a partial
read now decodes the page once into a pool-backed scratch buffer and
serves the rest of the batch from it.

DecodeArrow reserves once and then either advances over the values it
just wrote or expands them leftward into their null positions, which
drops the separate null-aware copy loop.

Subject: [PATCH 055/106] Validate the PFOR element count and offset chain
 before decoding

Two ways a malformed page got through. A header count short of the
caller's capacity filled part of the output buffer and returned OK,
leaving the rest of it holding whatever was there before; the count is
now required to equal the expected value count, not merely fit inside it.

And the offsets were each checked in isolation, only for being inside the
buffer, so a page whose offsets overlap or run backwards decoded part-way

as a chain up front instead: the first offset lands just past the array,
each later one is strictly greater than the one before it, and all of
them are inside the payload.

Subject: [PATCH 056/106] Encode an all-null PFOR page as a bare header

An all-null optional page buffers no values and is still written, and the
empty payload the encoder emitted for it has no header for the reader to
load, so reading such a column threw. Zero values now writes the header
and nothing after it, and the wrapper accepts that count on both sides.

The encoding test that covered this passed a level count of zero to
SetData, which no real reader does -- the count it passes includes the
nulls. It now passes the full count, and the writer tests round-trip an
optional PFOR column with some nulls and with nothing but nulls.

Subject: [PATCH 057/106] Serialize PFOR little-endian instead of refusing to
 build

Every multi-byte wire field -- the header's element count, the offset
array, each vector's frame of reference and exception count, and the
exception positions and values -- now converts explicitly, so the
big-endian static_assert is gone. The bit-packed deltas already needed no
conversion: BitWriter writes them little-endian and the unpacker reads
them back the same way, so those bytes are copied verbatim.

Subject: [PATCH 058/106] Build the PFOR sources under meson too

The CMake build compiles them and runs pfor-test; meson knew about
neither. The two translation units carry the only definitions of the
PforWrapper and PforCompression instantiations parquet's encoder and
decoder call, so a meson build has nothing to link them against.

Subject: [PATCH 060/106] Add end-to-end PFOR tests through the Arrow reader
 and writer

Everything PFOR had so far drove the encoder and decoder classes directly, so
nothing covered the path a real reader takes: writer properties, page headers,
row group boundaries, null expansion. These 19 tests write real files and read
them back, over the distributions the encoding is built for (a tight cluster far
from zero, a constant vector, a cluster with outliers), the ones it has to
survive (values at the bounds of each type, all-null and leading-null columns,
row groups that end mid-vector, batches smaller than a page), and each supported
compression codec.

Every round trip also asserts the file's column chunks report PFOR. Without that
a round trip passes just as happily when the writer picks some other encoding,
and the test would be checking the default instead.

arrow_reader_writer_test.cc is already long, so these go in
arrow/arrow_encoding_test.cc, which later encodings can share.

Subject: [PATCH 061/106] Name the PFOR headers _internal.h

The names now say what the install rules already do: arrow_install_all_headers
globs a single directory and skips anything matching "internal", so nothing under
arrow/util/pfor is installed and none of it carries a backward-compatibility
obligation.

Subject: [PATCH 062/106] Bound the sequential unpacker at the page, not at the
 vector

DecodeVector left UnpackOptions::max_read_bytes at its -1 default, which
tells the bit-unpacker it may not read a byte past the vector's own
packed payload. The vector kernels load a fixed-size window per step,
wider than a step consumes at most bit widths, so under that bound the
last step is refused and the tail of the vector falls to the scalar
epilog -- 32 of 1024 values at bit width 3.

The span DecodeVector is handed runs from this vector to the end of the
page, so the true bound is already in hand; pass it. Whole-page int32
decode gains a median 1.13x over a 29-column corpus and 1.9x on the
columns that pack to 3 bits, and nothing at widths 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and
31, whose kernels strand no values to begin with. The gain is flat from
a 78 KiB data page to a 4 MB destination, which is what a per-vector
cost looks like.

Subject: [PATCH 063/106] Use Arrow's section-rule style for the PFOR comments

The tests and benchmarks drew their section headings as boxes: a row of equals
signs above the title and, in the benchmark and integration files, a second one
below. Arrow writes a single rule of seventy dashes and then the title, in 121
places under cpp/src; boxed headings appear in seven files, four of them
vendored. This converts twenty-nine headings to the house rule and drops the
twelve closing rules.

Two comments also shouted: three spellings of "ARE the signed values" in the
decoder, and the bias comment in the bit-packing kernel announcing "The whole
point:" before making it. One more narrated the branch's own history, calling
the second add-FOR pass what the code "used to do". The cost that pass measured
is why the add is folded into the unpacker, so the figures stay and the history
goes.

Comments only. Stripping comments leaves all six files byte-identical to their
previous revision, clang-format reports no new warnings, and no line crosses
ninety columns.

Subject: [PATCH 065/106] Give PFOR a delta mode and a searchable frame

Choose between raw values and adjacent differences per vector, and allow the
frame to move above the minimum so exceptions can fall on either side of the
packed window. Record the delta choice in vector metadata and store the first
value so each vector remains independently decodable.

Subject: [PATCH 066/106] Reduce the cost of PFOR frame selection

Build the frame-search histograms in one pass, seed the search with the
minimum-frame result, and skip refinement when no candidate improves it.
After selecting a bucket window, move the frame to the smallest covered value
to avoid paying for unused offsets below the data.

Subject: [PATCH 067/106] Benchmark PFOR delta mode on correlated columns

Add timestamp, sawtooth, bounded-rate, monotonic, and clustered distributions
at both integer widths. These inputs distinguish value packing from delta
packing and exercise frames that need not equal the minimum.

Subject: [PATCH 068/106] Reject unprofitable PFOR delta plans from a sample

Estimate the cost of adjacent differences from a strided sample before running
the full delta frame search. Reject delta mode when the estimate cannot beat
the incumbent raw plan, avoiding unnecessary work on uncorrelated vectors.

Subject: [PATCH 069/106] Gate PFOR and delta mode with writer properties

Require writers to opt in before emitting the Preview PFOR encoding. Add a
separate per-column setting for delta planning and pass the resulting options
through the encoder factory. Readers continue to accept either representation.

Reject pages whose delta flag makes the vector header exceed the input, and
reject vectors truncated inside their stored start value. Assert on encode

Subject: [PATCH 071/106] Note that the delta prefix sum could fold into the
 unpack kernel

The sum is one dependent add per value and uses no lanes, which is why a
delta vector does not pick up the speed a narrower type gives the unpack.
A scan across lanes plus a carry broadcast would shorten the chain, but
only for a vector with no exceptions: patching sits between the frame add
and the sum, so a vector holding even one exception keeps this loop.

Subject: [PATCH 072/106] Measure the unpacker's page bound from the header
 this vector wrote

The sequential unpacker's read bound is the distance from the packed
payload to the end of the page span. It was computed by subtracting the
fixed metadata size, which stops being right once a vector can be a
delta vector: that header carries a start value as well, and the read
pointer is already past it.

Subtract info_bytes -- what this vector's header actually wrote --
instead. Taking the fixed size would offer the kernels sizeof(T) bytes
past the end of the caller's buffer, and because those kernels only
widen their load window when it fits, it would do so on exactly the
vectors whose last step would otherwise be refused.

Subject: [PATCH 074/106] Let a caller require the delta representation

The planner costs the raw and differenced representations per vector and
keeps the cheaper one, so on most columns the delta path cannot be
reached from the public API at all. That makes the two representations
impossible to compare on the same data, and leaves the delta encode and
decode paths exercised only by inputs that happen to select them.

force_delta skips the three places the planner declines -- the short and
zero-width shortcut, the sampled estimate, and the final cost compare --
and commits to the delta plan. It is off by default and does not change
what the planner chooses on its own; the serialized vector is a normal
delta vector that any decoder reads.

The comparison benchmark gains raw-only and delta-only encode and decode
registrations on top of the planner-chosen ones, so a column can be
measured in both representations. pfor_test.cc covers the round trip
under the flag.

Subject: [PATCH 075/106] [C++][Parquet] Coalesce equal-width
 DELTA_BINARY_PACKED miniblocks

Consecutive miniblocks sharing a bit width are packed back to back with no
padding and hold a multiple of 32 values, so a run of them is bit-identical to
one longer run at that width and can be unpacked in a single call. A miniblock
joins the run only when its stored width equals the current one, which
InitMiniBlock has already validated, so an unchecked width is never used. The
run stops at the end of the block and at what the caller has room for.

The prefix-sum loop also keeps the running value and the frame of reference in
locals. Both have the same type as the caller's output buffer, so the compiler
cannot prove the store does not alias them and otherwise reloads both for every
value.

Arithmetic is unchanged: every term stays in the unsigned type, so the wrapping
the format specifies is preserved and no decoded value changes.

Subject: [PATCH 076/106] [C++][Parquet] Scan DELTA_BINARY_PACKED deltas a
 vector at a time

The value-at-a-time prefix sum becomes a helper that scans whole registers with
a log-step inclusive scan and finishes the remainder one value at a time. Adding
the frame of reference before the scan turns its running multiple into a term the
scan produces rather than a multiply per lane, and the running total is carried
between registers in a vector register rather than through a general-purpose one.

The xsimd include and the vector loop are guarded on ARROW_HAVE_NEON or
ARROW_HAVE_SSE4_2, so a build with neither compiles the scalar loop alone. The
vector loop is compiled only where a register holds four or more values, which at
the 128-bit baseline vectorizes 32-bit values and leaves 64-bit ones on the
value-at-a-time loop.

Also adds a decode benchmark on non-decreasing values, the shape this encoding is
usually chosen for.

Arithmetic is unchanged: every term stays in the unsigned type, so the wrapping
the format specifies is preserved and no decoded value changes.

Subject: [PATCH 077/106] Add lane-interleaved bit packing for 32-bit blocks

Pack each row of 32 lanes at a common bit offset so the lane loop can
autovectorize. The 1024-value payload has the same size as the sequential
layout, and full-width blocks remain byte-identical.

+// Lane-interleaved bit-packing kernels (header-only).
+//
+// A portable port of the lane-interleaved 1024-bit container from FastLanes
+// (Afroozeh & Boncz, VLDB '23). There are no SIMD intrinsics here: the inner
+// lane loop is shaped so that every lane does identical work, which is what
+// lets the compiler auto-vectorize one source body to 4-wide NEON, 8-wide
+// AVX2 or 16-wide AVX-512 without a per-ISA variant.
+//
+// What this file is not
+// ---------------------
+// FastLanes couples two independent ideas, and only the first is here.
+//
+//   1. The interleaved container, below. It exists so that the values a
+//      register loads together are the values the unpacker needs together.
+//      This is what makes the layout fast, and it is layout-only: the values
+//      keep their input positions.
+//
+//   2. The FL_ORDER permutation (the 8x16 -> 16x8 within-sub-block transpose
+//      plus the 04261537 sub-block reorder). That exists to give a *sequential*
+//      codec -- DELTA, RLE -- one independent chain per lane, and to let one
+//      packed buffer be read at several lane widths. PFOR has no sequential
+//      dependency to break, and Parquet's decoder contract is positional, so
+//      FL_ORDER would have to be undone by a gather before any value could be
+//      handed back. It is deliberately absent: this layout returns values in
+//      input order, so nothing has to be permuted on the way out and exception
+//      positions stay meaningful without translation.
+//
+// The layout
+// ----------
+// Within a 1024-value block (32 lanes x 32 rows for uint32_t), the packed
+// buffer holds w u32 rows of 32 u32 words, where w is the bit width. Row r,
+// lane l contributes to packed[word * 32 + l] at bit shift (r*w) % 32, where
+// word = (r*w) / 32, possibly straddling into packed[word * 32 + 32 + l].
+// (word == r only when w == 32.)
+//
+// Bits are assembled exactly as sequential bit-packing assembles them: within
+// one lane, successive rows occupy successive bit positions LSB-first, and a
+// value that runs off the end of a word continues in the low bits of the next.
+// The two layouts differ only in which values land at adjacent bit positions --
+// successive rows of one lane here, successive values of the stream in
+// arrow::internal::unpack -- not in how the bits of a value are laid out. That
+// is why the shift and the straddle depend on the row and never on the lane,
+// and so why all 32 lanes do identical work.
+//
+// The payload is byte-identical in size to the sequential layout for a full
+// block: 1024 * w bits either way, or 128 * w bytes.

Subject: [PATCH 078/106] Add a lane-interleaved packing mode to PFOR pages

Use the validated page-level packing mode to distinguish sequential and
lane-interleaved payloads. Apply interleaving only to full 1024-value int32
vectors; encode unsupported widths and tail vectors sequentially.

Subject: [PATCH 079/106] Test the interleaved bit-packing layout

Every bit width round-trips, framed and unframed, and the framed cases go
through the unpack that folds the frame into its own store. The widths are
built from a delta mask rather than a range so the cost model cannot land
on a narrower width and leave the loop testing one kernel thirty-one
times; the test reads back the width the encoder settled on and checks it.

One test exists only to keep the others honest. Because the two layouts
write the same number of bytes, a mode request that quietly fell back to
sequential on both the encode and the decode side would pass every round
trip above. So one test asserts the payloads really are different bytes at
widths 1 through 31 -- and identical at 32, where the two layouts coincide
and the kernel is a memcpy.

Subject: [PATCH 080/106] Let a writer ask PFOR for the interleaved bit-packing
 layout

The layout is not in the Parquet specification, so a file written with it
can only be read by an implementation that knows it. It is therefore off
unless a writer asks:
WriterProperties::Builder::enable_pfor_interleaved_bit_packing. A reader
that does not know the layout rejects the page rather than misreading it,
because the mode is recorded in a header byte the reader already
validates.

The flag is a request. It reaches only 4-byte columns, and within those
only the full vectors of a page, so a file whose columns are not all
eligible can still be written with one setting: everything the layout
cannot cover is written the way PFOR has always written it.

MakeEncoder grows a defaulted parameter rather than taking the properties,
which would put the whole of the writer's configuration behind a factory
that needs one bit of it.

Subject: [PATCH 081/106] Test the interleaved layout through a written Parquet
 file

Because both layouts write the same number of bytes, a flag that never
reached the encoder would still round-trip a table. So the test writes the
same table with the flag and without it and compares the two files: same
length, different bytes is what shows the flag arrived.

The int64 case asserts the opposite -- the two files are identical, byte
for byte -- because the layout cannot apply there and the request is
dropped rather than refused.

Subject: [PATCH 082/106] Benchmark the interleaved layout against the
 sequential one

The benchmark only ever encoded with the default packing mode, so nothing in
the tree measured the layout this branch adds. Thread the mode through the
two benchmark bodies and register a paired int32 variant for each of the ten
distributions.

The encode variants report CompRatio%, which comes out identical to the
sequential variant's for every distribution: the two layouts write the same
number of bits, so the layout is a decode-speed choice and not a size trade-
off. There is no int64 variant because only 32-bit values reach the
interleaved kernels.

Subject: [PATCH 083/106] Benchmark a page-sized destination, not only powers
 of 1024

Every existing size is an exact multiple of the 1024-value vector, so the
tail path that falls back to sequential packing was never timed. The
Parquet writer caps a data page at max_rows_per_page = 20,000 rows, which
for int32 always binds before the 1 MB size target, so 20,000 values is
the destination a reader actually decodes into. Add it.

It also has a partial last vector (19 x 1024 + 544), which is what makes
it worth measuring separately from 10240 and 102400.

Subject: [PATCH 085/106] Measure the FastLanes paper's lane assignment for
 DELTA

lane_delta.h gives lane l the container rows l, 32+l, ..., so its in-lane
predecessor is 32 positions back in file order and its differences are wider
than DELTA_BINARY_PACKED's. The paper assigns lane l the contiguous run
[32l, 32l+32) instead, which makes the in-lane predecessor the immediately
preceding value and the stored differences exactly the format's, at the price
of 32 entry points per block and a transpose back to file order.

transposed_delta.h implements that, with the bases stored either raw or
delta-encoded across lanes, and the benchmark adds four decode variants so
the base stream and the transpose can be priced separately from the
container.

+// Lane-parallel delta, an experiment: DELTA_BINARY_PACKED's cost is dominated

+// unvectorizable. Deltaing inside a bit-packing lane instead of along the file
+// order replaces that single 1024-long chain with 32 independent chains of
+// length 32, so one vector add per row advances all 32 at once.
+//
+// Two value orders are provided, differing only in which value sits one step
+// back in a lane:
+//
+//   kInterleaved  lane l holds original indices l, 32+l, ..., 992+l, so the
+//                 in-lane step is a uniform +32 in file order. Container order
+//                 equals file order, so decode needs no permutation, and the
+//                 step from one block's last row to the next block's first row
+//                 is also +32 -- the lane seeds are written once per column.

+//                       DELTA_BINARY_PACKED stores. Decode ends in transposed
+//                       order and owes a 32x32 transpose.
+//
+// The second is the paper's: section 2.3 states the order for its own
+// 16-value example as 0,4,8,12 | 1,5,9,13 | 2,6,10,14 | 3,7,11,15, i.e. lane
+// 0 holds 0,1,2,3, and Figure 4c shows the entry points such a chain needs.
+// Reconstructing the Unified Transposed Layout from Figure 6d's caption and
+// walking the chain as section 2.4 describes it, the in-lane distance is +1
+// for 100% of steps at all four lane widths; the 04261537 tile order is what
+// makes one stored order do that for 8, 16, 32 and 64-bit lanes at once. A
+// Parquet column has one physical type, so a 32x32 transpose reproduces the
+// property this file needs.
+//
+// The price is the entry points: 32 per vector rather than the format's one.
+// The paper charges itself "1 bit per value" for storing them plainly and about
+// 0.21 bits for delta-encoding them across vectors, and both are provided here
+// (TransposedBaseCoding).
+//
+// The base for lane l is the value *before* its run, v[32l - 1], rather than
+// v[32l]. That way all 1024 payload slots carry a real difference: without it
+// row 0 of every block would be a known zero and 1/32 of the packed words would
+// be wasted.
+//
+// Wire layout for n values (n a multiple of 1024; any tail is stored raw):
+//
+//   [0, nblocks)                 uint8 payload bit width per block

+//   next 4 * nblocks             int32 payload min delta per block
+//   next, per block              the 32 bases: 4 * 32 bytes raw, or, packed,

Subject: [PATCH 086/106] Fuse FL_ORDER transpose with the delta prefix sum

Transpose each lane-parallel delta block while computing its prefix sums,
avoiding a separate repair pass. Preserve the running value across blocks and
verify that the fused path matches the original layout.

Subject: [PATCH 087/106] Read the lane-parallel delta layout through a Parquet
 decoder

The layout had only ever been called as a kernel, from a benchmark that
handed it a payload and a value count. That skips the page header, the
decoder's dispatch and the level handling, so dividing a kernel rate by a
full decoder's rate overstates what a reader would gain.

Give it page framing and register it as an encoding, so the same encoder
and decoder interfaces every other encoding is reached through also reach
this one. The framing adds a little-endian value count ahead of the
payload: the payload's own header does not carry one, decode needs it to
locate every section, and a page's level count cannot stand in because it
counts nulls too.

INT32 only, because the packing kernel works on 32-bit lanes. The payload
still stores its packed words and per-block minimums in host byte order,
which a format specification would have to pin down before a file written
this way could be read anywhere else.

Subject: [PATCH 089/106] Refuse a lane-delta page that does not describe
 itself

The encoding is registered for INT32, so the fuzzer reaches it with pages
it has mutated. Four kinds of damage now raise instead of reading past the
buffer: a page shorter than the value count it declares, a page too short
to hold a count at all, a declared count larger than the page header's
level count allows, and a block claiming a bit width no 32-bit lane can
hold.

Subject: [PATCH 090/106] Stop the entry-point reader at the end of its stream

The 32 entry points of a block are bit-packed, and reading them with one
unaligned 64-bit load per value reads up to 7 bytes past the stream. That
was covered by slack in the kernel's own size bound, but a page is sized to
its contents: when the last block's differences are all equal its payload is
empty, the entry points end the page, and the load runs off the buffer.

Staging the stream -- at most 128 bytes, once per 1024 values -- keeps the
loop free of both a bounds test and short loads, and costs 3% of decode.
Splitting the loop instead, so that only the last values take a short load,
costs 8%: the split needs a division to find where to stop, and the fast
half loses its compile-time trip count.

A sanitizer harness reports an 8-byte read one byte past a 478-byte page
against the old code and nothing against this one, and a sweep of all 33
widths against a reference unpack agrees value for value.

Subject: [PATCH 091/106] Frame the paper's lane assignment as a page

The kernel encodes a whole array and is told its length; a page has to say
how long it is, and a decoder has to be able to tell a truncated or mutated
page from a valid one before it reads a byte of payload.

The framing is a 4-byte value count followed by the kernel's output, and
validation walks the blocks: each block's payload width and entry-point
width are bounded, and every block's contribution to the size is added up
and checked against the page. Decode reads in place when the payload is
4-byte aligned, which it is for a page written by this encoder, and copies
only when a caller hands it something else.

Subject: [PATCH 092/106] Add a page format for lane-parallel deltas

Store the value count, lane entry points, and packed delta blocks needed to
decode a page independently. Validate truncation, block counts, and alignment,
and cover constant and partial final blocks.

Subject: [PATCH 093/106] Gate the interleaved-layout tests behind the PFOR
 preview flag

InterleavedBitPackingLayout and InterleavedRequestIgnoredForInt64 built
WriterProperties directly and never called enable_pfor_encoding(), so
both threw the preview-feature guard instead of exercising the layout.

+//               Block 1 applied to a delta chain; this file applies it to
+//               plain PFOR, which has no chain to break. Decode returns
+//               values in file order with no permutation, matching the note
+//               in fastlanes_kernels_internal.h.
+//
+//   kFlOrder    the same, but the residuals are placed with the paper's lane
+//               assignment (reused from transposed_delta.h's Transpose32x32:
+//               lane l holds the contiguous run [32l, 32l+32)) before
+//               packing, and gathered back to file order after unpacking.
+//               PFOR has no chain for this ordering to help, so this arm
+//               exists to price the gather it forces rather than to recommend
+//               it -- see fastlanes_kernels_internal.h's header comment.

Subject: [PATCH 096/106] Cap bit-unpack SIMD dispatch at 256 bits

Exclude the generated AVX-512 unpacker from runtime dispatch because it builds
vectors from scalar loads and uses out-of-line calls. Retain AVX2 as the
highest dispatched target until the AVX-512 kernels use vector loads directly.

Subject: [PATCH 097/106] Fuse the FL_ORDER transpose into unpacking

Build each transpose tile directly from unpacked registers and store it in file
order, avoiding the intermediate 4 KiB grid. Apply the same structure to the
lane-parallel delta path so unpacking, prefix sums, and permutation share one
pass.

+// Fused FL_ORDER unpack: packed words -> file order in a single pass.
+//
+// The naive FL_ORDER decode is UnpackBlock into a 4 KiB stack grid followed by
+// Transpose32x32 out of it. That materializes the grid in memory purely to read
+// it straight back: 128 extra 32-byte stores and 128 extra loads per block, on
+// top of the 128 stores the output actually needs. The permutation itself is
+// unavoidable -- FL_ORDER exists to place values where the delta chain wants
+// them, and file order has to be restored for anyone who needs it -- but the
+// round trip through memory is not.
+//
+// Folding the transpose into the store addresses of the row-major kernel is
+// inefficient: out[lane * 32 + row] means the 32
+// lanes of one row land 128 bytes apart, so each contiguous 32-byte store
+// becomes eight 4-byte scatters. That trades 128 stores per block for 1024.
+//
+// What works is doing the transpose in registers, which is what
+// Transpose32x32Avx2 already does -- it just does it on a grid that was written
+// to memory first. Here the same 8x8 register block is filled directly by the
+// unpack, so the grid never exists:
+//
+//   for each 8-lane slice lb, for each 8-row block rb:
+//     eight registers <- unpack rows rb..rb+7, lanes lb..lb+7   (8-16 loads)
+//     the unpacklo/unpackhi/permute2x128 ladder                 (24 shuffles)
+//     eight 32-byte stores across out[lb..lb+7][rb..rb+7]       (8 stores)
+//
+// Load and store counts per block are then identical to the file-order kernel's
+// (each packed word read once, each output value written once); the only thing
+// FL_ORDER pays over file order is the shuffle ladder. lb is the outer loop on
+// purpose: a fixed lb writes out[lb * 32, lb * 32 + 256), one contiguous 1 KiB

Run the four layout variants over five source and destination footprints, and
add a store-only reference to distinguish compute effects from output-bandwidth
limits.

+//
+// THIS CODE HAS NO EXCEPTION HANDLING. There is no patch list on the wire and
+// no patch pass in the decoder, because a bit width wide enough for the block's
+// largest residual is always chosen. Arrow's production PFOR does carry
+// exceptions and does patch them, so a ratio taken between anything here and a

+// difference is not the layout. Compare kFileOrder against kFlOrder/kFlOrderRaw
+// here; for sequential against interleaved, use the two production arms that
+// differ only in PackingMode.
+//
+// The container also appears in production as PackingMode::kForBitPackInterleaved,
+// which is what a Parquet reader would use. This file is not that code and does
+// not share its wire format: the production format has no lane-assignment mode,
+// so the ordering question has nowhere else to be asked.
+//
+// A caveat on what "the same columns" means, because an earlier version of this
+// comment overstated it: the benchmark corpus is SYNTHETIC. Its columns are
+// generators shaped after distributions seen in ClickBench, TPC-DS, TPC-H and
+// the NYC taxi set -- they are not records loaded from those datasets, and the
+// only file the harness opens is the CSV it writes. Bit-unpacking throughput is
+// data-independent at a fixed width, so that substitution is harmless for the
+// timing arms. It is NOT harmless for any claim about how wide a column packs,
+// since the generator's autocorrelation is chosen rather than observed.
+//
+// A second caveat, on register width. UnpackBlock in
+// fastlanes_kernels_internal.h contains no intrinsics: it is portable C++ that
+// the compiler auto-vectorizes, so its register width is whatever the
+// translation unit's compile-time flags permit. It has NO runtime SIMD dispatch,
+// which means ARROW_USER_SIMD_LEVEL does not reach it and ARROW_SIMD_LEVEL
+// (default: SSE4_2 on x86) decides it. On a default build this kernel compiles
+// to XMM while the sequential comparand dispatches to a hand-written AVX2 body
+// at runtime, so a layout comparison from a default build is measuring register
+// width and not layout. Build with -DARROW_SIMD_LEVEL=AVX2 or better before
+// comparing, or give these kernels real dispatch.

+// The integer column corpus the PFOR comparison benchmarks generate: 43 int32
+// columns, a few int64 ones, and a group whose neighbouring values carry
+// structure. It lives in its own header so that every harness measuring
+// these columns reads one definition of them, rather than the benchmark file
+// carrying five hundred lines of generators inline. Nothing here
+// depends on anything but the standard library, so a harness that wants the
+// corpus does not have to pull in Parquet.
+//
+// The columns are synthetic. Each generator is shaped after a distribution seen
+// in ClickBench, TPC-DS, TPC-H or the NYC taxi set; none of them loads a record
+// from those datasets. Bit-unpacking throughput is data-independent at a fixed
+// width, so that substitution is harmless for a timing figure. It is not
+// harmless for any claim about how wide a column packs, since the generator's
+// autocorrelation is chosen rather than observed.

a frame bias.

Subject: [PATCH 104/106] Skip the compressor benchmarks a build did not enable

The ZSTD and LZ4 benchmarks dereferenced Codec::Create directly. For a codec
the build did not enable that Result holds NotImplemented, and dereferencing it
aborts the process, so one unbuilt compression dependency takes down every
other benchmark registered in the same binary -- including all the PFOR ones,
which need no compressor at all. With ARROW_WITH_BROTLI=OFF, Codec::Create
returns "NotImplemented: Support for codec 'brotli' not built"; the same shape
reaches ZSTD and LZ4 wherever those are off.

The four call sites now go through a helper that reports the status through
SkipWithError and returns, which is how arrow/ipc/read_write_benchmark.cc
handles a facility it cannot get.

Also drops BM_DbpGeom128x4. It was a second definition of the body already
registered as BM_DbpAbFull, was never registered itself, and the comment above
it now names BM_DbpAbFull as the 128/4 control instead.
