+ * Base class for transport responses carrying native Arrow data. Subclasses must provide
+ * two constructors — one for sending (wraps a populated root) and one for receiving
+ * (takes ownership of vectors from the Flight stream via {@link StreamInput}):
  *
- * <p>The producer creates vectors using the channel's allocator and populates them freely
- * on any thread. When the executor processes this batch, it does a zero-copy transfer
- * of the producer's buffers into the channel's shared root — no memcpy, no serialization.
- * After transfer, the framework closes the producer's root, releasing its buffers back
- * to the allocator.
+ * <pre>{@code
+ * public class MyResponse extends ArrowBatchResponse {
+ *     public MyResponse(VectorSchemaRoot root) { super(root); }       // send side
+ *     public MyResponse(StreamInput in) throws IOException { super(in); } // receive side
+ * }
+ * }</pre>
  *
- * <p><b>Allocator guidelines:</b> The allocator used for producer roots must outlive the
- * gRPC stream — do not create and close a child allocator per request. gRPC's zero-copy
- * write path retains buffer references beyond stream completion, and closing the allocator
- * while gRPC still holds these references causes memory accounting errors. Use either the
- * channel allocator (via {@code ArrowFlightChannel.from(channel).getAllocator()}) or a
- * long-lived application allocator. The framework creates the shared root from the
- * producer's allocator to ensure same-allocator transfer, which avoids an Arrow bug with
- * cross-allocator transfer of foreign-backed buffers from C data import.
+ * <p><b>Send side:</b> The producer populates a {@link VectorSchemaRoot} and wraps it.
+ * The framework zero-copy transfers the vectors into the Flight stream — no memcpy,
+ * no serialization.
  *
- * <p>Usage (send side):
  * <pre>{@code
- * BufferAllocator allocator = ArrowFlightChannel.from(channel).getAllocator();
  * VectorSchemaRoot producerRoot = VectorSchemaRoot.create(schema, allocator);
- * // populate producerRoot on any thread...
+ * // populate producerRoot...
  * channel.sendResponseBatch(new MyResponse(producerRoot));
  * // producerRoot is now owned by the framework — don't reuse or close it
  * }</pre>
  *
- * <p>Usage (receive side):
- * <pre>{@code
- * public class MyResponse extends ArrowBatchResponse {
- *     public MyResponse(VectorSchemaRoot root) { super(root); }
- *     public MyResponse(StreamInput in) throws IOException { super(in); }
- * }
- * }</pre>
+ * <p><b>Receive side:</b> The framework calls {@code handler.read(in)} where {@code in} is
+ * a {@link VectorStreamInput.NativeArrow} holding vectors transferred from the Flight stream.
+ * The {@link #ArrowBatchResponse(StreamInput)} constructor claims ownership of those vectors.
+ *
+ * <p><b>Allocator rules:</b>
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li><b>Send side:</b> Use a child of {@link ArrowAllocatorProvider}. All allocators
+ *       must share the same root so zero-copy transfers pass Arrow's
+ *       {@code AllocationManager} associate check. The framework creates the Flight
+ *       stream root from the producer's allocator to ensure same-allocator transfer —
+ *       this avoids an Arrow bug with cross-allocator transfer of foreign-backed

+ *   <li><b>Receive side:</b> The framework transfers vectors from the Flight stream's

+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Both paths rely on the {@code doCloseNative()} callback being invoked
+ * exactly zero or one times, never twice. These tests nail that contract
+ * down with a counting subclass so a future change to
+ * {@link ConsumableNativeHandle} that accidentally re-introduces a
+ * double-close will fail loudly.
+ *
+ * <p>Reference: the real subclass
+ * {@code org.opensearch.be.datafusion.nativelib.SessionContextHandle} is used

+Subject: [PATCH] CALCITE-3745: TCCL-chained classloader for Janino parent CL
+
+Introduce a TcclChainedClassLoader utility that resolves classes via the
+thread context classloader first, falling back to the Calcite-local CL
+if a name is not found on TCCL. Every site that configures Janino's
+parent classloader (EnumerableInterpretable, JaninoRexCompiler,
+RexExecutable, JaninoRelMetadataProvider) now uses the chained loader.
+
+This keeps Calcite's internal types always resolvable while making
+child-plugin UDFs visible when the host (OpenSearch's extendedPlugins)
+sets TCCL to the child classloader.

+//! Boolean query tree representation.
+//!
+//! **No wire format.** The tree is built from the Substrait plan's filter
+//! expression (see [`crate::indexed_table::substrait_to_tree`]), never
+//! serialized, never crosses the FFM boundary.
+//!
+//! Two flavors:
+//!
+//! - [`BoolNode`] — unresolved. Produced by `expr_to_bool_tree`.
+//!   `Collector` leaves carry the annotation ID identifying the delegated predicate
+//!   (as extracted from the `index_filter(bytes)` UDF call);
+//!   `Predicate` leaves carry an arbitrary DataFusion
+//!   [`PhysicalExpr`](datafusion::physical_expr::PhysicalExpr) —
+//!   comparisons, IN, IS NULL, arithmetic, whatever produces a boolean.
+//! - [`ResolvedNode`] — resolved. Produced by
+//!   `BoolNode::resolve(collectors)` — `Collector` leaves get turned
+//!   into `(provider_key, Arc<dyn RowGroupDocsCollector>)` pairs by the
+//!   caller; Predicate leaves pass through unchanged. This is what the
+//!   evaluator walks.

+//! `BitmapTreeEvaluator` — the default [`TreeEvaluator`] implementation.
+//!
+//! # Two-stage evaluation
+//!
+//! The tree is evaluated in two stages per row group:
+//!
+//! 1. **Candidate stage** (`prefetch`) — builds a *superset* candidate set of
+//!    doc IDs for the RG. Works entirely in the RoaringBitmap domain:
+//!    compact, cheap intersections, O(set-bits) operations. The stage walks
+//!    the tree once, producing:
+//!      - a top-level `RoaringBitmap` of candidate doc IDs (superset of the
+//!        exact match set — this is what decides which parquet rows to read);
+//!      - a side-table of per-leaf bitmaps, keyed by Collector leaf identity.
+//!
+//!    Collector leaves ask an external [`LeafBitmapSource`] for their bitmap
+//!    (today that means an FFM upcall to the Java-side index). Predicate
+//!    leaves use parquet page statistics via the caller's [`PagePruner`].
+//!    The reason this is a superset, not the exact answer: predicate bitmaps
+//!    come from page-level stats and are inherently coarse (pages are
+//!    supersets of the rows that actually match the predicate).
+//!
+//! 2. **Refinement stage** (`on_batch`) — runs per record batch, after
+//!    parquet delivered the decoded rows. Walks the same tree using Arrow
+//!    `BooleanArray` kernels (`and_kleene`, `or_kleene`, `not`, cmp ops) to
+//!    produce the *exact* per-row answer. Collector leaves look up their
+//!    Phase 1 bitmap from the side-table and slice it to batch coordinates;
+//!    Predicate leaves re-evaluate the comparison on actual column data.
+//!
+//! Why two stages and not one: Phase 1's bitmap-domain work decides *which
+//! parquet rows to read at all* — for a selective query over a large RG,
+//! we read only the few pages that could possibly match. Phase 2 then
+//! filters those rows down to the exact answer. One-stage evaluation would
+//! either read the whole RG (wasteful) or trust the coarse superset
+//! (wrong, since predicate stats are supersets).
+//!
+//! # Child ordering
+//!
+//! The candidate stage sorts AND/OR children by [`subtree_cost`] before
+//! walking (cheap-first), which lets a narrow Predicate leaf — or a
+//! Predicate-dominated nested subtree — short-circuit a whole AND group
+//! before any expensive Collector leaf work. The refinement stage walks
+//! children in their *original* tree order, which is fine because Arrow
+//! kernels don't short-circuit internally and leaf identity is by
+//! `Arc::as_ptr`, not DFS position. See [`subtree_cost`] and the
+//! `collect_collector_leaves` doc for the identity mechanism that lets
+//! these two orderings coexist safely.
+//!
+//! Plus [`CollectorLeafBitmaps`] — the default [`LeafBitmapSource`] impl that
+//! expands index-backed `RowGroupDocsCollector` output into RoaringBitmaps.
+//! A different `LeafBitmapSource` could back Collector leaves by parquet
+//! stats, external bitmap stores, or anything else implementing the trait.

+// The `dfs` counter tracks the caller's position in a depth-first traversal.
+// It's used only to assign a stable `leaf_dfs_index` to each leaf so a
+// `LeafBitmapSource` implementation can identify which leaf it's being asked
+// about. We advance `dfs` on every leaf whether we actually evaluate it or
+// not (see the short-circuit branches in AND/OR) so downstream walkers that
+// reproduce the DFS order (`collect_collector_leaves`, `skip_dfs`) stay in
+// sync with this one.
+//
+// Note: the stored per-leaf bitmap entries use `Arc::as_ptr(collector)` as
+// the key, not `leaf_dfs_index`. DFS position changes between
+// `prefetch_node` (which sorts children by cost) and `on_batch_node` (which
+// walks in original order), but `Arc` identity is stable across both. See
+// the refinement-stage walker for the lookup.
+//
+// The `under_all_and_path` flag tracks whether every ancestor (up to root)
+// is an AND node. When true, an empty candidate result here propagates all
+// the way up — `TreeBitsetSource::prefetch_rg` returns `None`, the RG is
+// skipped entirely, and the refinement stage never runs. In that case we
+// can drop Collector bitmap materialisation in short-circuited branches
+// (no one will look them up). When false, some ancestor is OR or NOT,
+// which can recover from an empty subtree — refinement may still run and
+// will need the bitmaps in `out`, so we materialise them defensively.
+//
+// Propagation rule:
+//   - Root call: `under_all_and_path = true` (no ancestors).
+//   - Recurse into an AND child: pass the flag unchanged.
+//   - Recurse into an OR or NOT child: pass `false`.
+// The universe-saturation short-circuit in OR is NOT affected — saturation
+// produces a non-empty candidate set, so the RG is always read and
+// refinement always runs. Bitmaps must be materialised regardless.

+//! Row-group-level bitset sources — the pluggability seam for where
+//! boolean tree evaluation happens.
+//!
+//! [`IndexedStream`](crate::indexed_table::stream::IndexedStream) only depends
+//! on [`RowGroupBitsetSource`]. The source of the bitset is abstracted.
+//!
+//! # Invariant — row-group-at-a-time
+//!
+//! The trait methods operate on one RG. There is no `prefetch_shard` or
+//! `evaluate_full_filter` method. Even when tree evaluation eventually moves
+//! elsewhere:
+//!
+//! - Bitsets stay small (~512 bytes per RG).
+//! - Prefetch overlaps the next RG's bitset with the current RG's parquet read.
+//! - Memory stays bounded regardless of shard size.
+//!
+//! # Pluggable tree evaluation (multi-filter tree path)
+//!
+//! For tree queries, evaluation has two orthogonal concerns:
+//!
+//! 1. **Tree evaluation strategy** ([`TreeEvaluator`]) — the algorithm that
+//!    walks the tree, combines bitmaps, produces superset candidates +
+//!    exact per-batch mask. Today: [`bitmap_tree::BitmapTreeEvaluator`].
+//!    This is extensible to different implementations.
+//! 2. **Leaf bitmap source** ([`LeafBitmapSource`]) — given a `Collector`
+//!    leaf, produce its RoaringBitmap for this RG. Today: backend-backed
+//!    (FFM upcall + bitset expansion).
+//!
+//! [`TreeBitsetSource`] composes any `TreeEvaluator` with any
+//! `LeafBitmapSource` and exposes the composite as a `RowGroupBitsetSource`.
+//! Swapping impls requires only passing different `Arc`s at construction.

+//! Single-collector evaluator — one backend collector plus DataFusion for
+//! residual predicates.
+//!
+//! When the filter has exactly one `index_filter(...)` call AND'd with
+//! (possibly zero, one, or many) parquet-native predicates, this evaluator
+//! runs. Per RG:
+//!
+//! 1. Call the single collector → bitset.
+//! 2. Apply page pruning (AND/OR mode depending on how the query combined them).
+//! 3. Hand the bitset offsets to `IndexedStream` as a RowSelection.
+//! 4. `on_batch_mask` returns `None` — DataFusion's
+//!    `with_predicate(residual).with_pushdown_filters(true)` applies the
+//!    residual predicates during decode, so indices stay aligned and no
+//!    post-filtering is needed.

+//! Index-accelerated parquet queries for DataFusion.
+//!
+//! # Execution paths
+//!
+//! Three shapes of query land in this module depending on the filter tree
+//! produced by `substrait_to_tree::classify_filter`:
+//!
+//! - **No-index path** — no `index_filter(...)` calls in the plan. The
+//!   query never reaches this module; [`crate::query_executor`] runs it
+//!   as a plain `ListingTable` scan.
+//! - **Single-collector path** — exactly one `index_filter(...)` AND'd
+//!   with zero or more parquet-native predicates. The collector produces
+//!   the candidate bitset; DataFusion's
+//!   `ParquetSource.with_predicate(...).with_pushdown_filters(true)`
+//!   applies the residual predicates during decode. See
+//!   [`eval::single_collector::SingleCollectorEvaluator`].
+//! - **Multi-filter tree path** — multiple `index_filter(...)` calls,
+//!   or OR/NOT mixing them with predicates, or any shape that isn't a
+//!   flat AND-of-one-collector-plus-predicates. Uses
+//!   [`eval::bitmap_tree::BitmapTreeEvaluator`], which runs a two-stage
+//!   evaluation per row group: a candidate stage in the RoaringBitmap
+//!   domain (to decide which parquet pages to read) plus a refinement
+//!   stage on the decoded record batches using Arrow kernels (to produce
+//!   the exact per-row answer).
+//!
+//! All three share the same [`stream::IndexedExec`] / [`stream::IndexedStream`]
+//! / [`table_provider::IndexedTableProvider`]. The evaluator choice is the
+//! only thing that varies.
+//!
+//! # Row-group-by-row-group streaming
+//!
+//! **Invariant.** Tree evaluation always happens per row group. Bitsets stay
+//! bounded (~512 bytes per RG), prefetch overlap hides index-side latency.
+//! The [`eval::RowGroupBitsetSource`] trait enforces this structurally —
+//! there is no shard-wide bitset API.
+//!
+//! # Modules
+//!
+//! - `index` — `ShardSearcher` + `RowGroupDocsCollector` trait
+//! - `bool_tree` — `BoolNode`, `ResolvedNode`, De Morgan's normalize
+//! - `substrait_to_tree` — `index_filter` UDF, `expr_to_bool_tree`, `classify_filter`
+//! - `eval` — `RowGroupBitsetSource` trait + concrete evaluators
+//! - `stream` — unified `IndexedExec` + `IndexedStream`
+//! - `table_provider` — unified `IndexedTableProvider`
+//! - `ffm_callbacks` — FFM upcall surface for the filter-tree callbacks
+//!   into Java (provider/collector lifetime wrappers + registration)
+//! - `page_pruner`, `partitioning`, `parquet_bridge`, `metrics`, `segment_info` — support

+//! Page-level pruning using parquet page statistics.
+//!
+//! Thin wrapper around DataFusion's [`PruningPredicate`] and a
+//! **multi-column** per-RG page-stats adapter. Replaces the previous
+//! homegrown per-filter range-intersection logic, which silently dropped
+//! unsupported expression shapes and could mis-prune `OR(...)` inside a
+//! conjunct.
+//!
+//! # Correctness
+//!
+//! `PruningPredicate` rewrites the full boolean tree homomorphically:
+//! - `a = v` → `a_min ≤ v AND a_max ≥ v` (page could contain `v`).
+//! - `AND(x, y)` → `AND(rewrite(x), rewrite(y))`.
+//! - `OR(x, y)` → `OR(rewrite(x), rewrite(y))`.
+//! - `NOT(x)` → `NOT(rewrite(x))` (via its own rules).
+//! - `IN`, `LIKE`, `IS NULL`, etc. handled by `PruningPredicate`'s own
+//!   rewriters.
+//! - Anything it can't translate becomes `Literal(true)`. Safe
+//!   conservative fallback: can't prune → assume page matches.
+//!
+//! Crucially, the rewrite preserves boolean structure, so
+//! `OR(a=5, b=10)` correctly prunes a page where `a` is entirely
+//! outside `{5}` AND `b` is entirely outside `{10}`. The per-page stats
+//! adapter below answers stats queries for any column in the file.
+//!
+//! # Per-RG cost
+//!
+//! One `PruningPredicate::prune` call per RG. Internally evaluates the
+//! rewritten expression against per-page min/max/null-count arrays;
+//! each array is read once per column per predicate. `PruningPredicate`
+//! itself is built once per query at [`build_pruning_predicate`].

+//! Partition assignment for distributing row groups across DataFusion partitions.
+//!
+//! Same model as DataFusion's `repartition_evenly_by_size`: flatten all row
+//! groups across all segments, iterate sequentially, cut a new partition when
+//! accumulated rows exceed `ceil(total_rows / num_partitions)`.
+//!
+//! A single partition may span multiple segments — each segment's RGs become
+//! a separate `SegmentChunk`.
+//!
+//! Partitions MUST align to RG boundaries because:
+//! 1. Splitting mid-RG causes duplicate processing.
+//! 2. Row indices within a RG are contiguous `[0, num_rows)`.
+//! 3. Doc IDs map 1:1 to row indices within each segment's parquet file.

+//!    whose "skip" runs are each at least `min_skip_run` long. Short gaps
+//!    are absorbed into surrounding selects, trading a little over-read
+//!    for a smaller, more block-friendly selector list.
+//! 2. A [`PositionMap`] that translates delivered-batch-row index back to
+//!    RG-relative position, which post-decode masks need for alignment.
+//! 3. A delivered-row [`BooleanArray`] mask (`build_mask`) aligned to the
+//!    rows parquet actually hands back.
+//!
+//! The three together replace the pre-refactor "`FilterStrategy =
+//! RowSelection | BooleanMask`" branching. One code path, one knob.

+//! Unified streaming execution for indexed parquet reads.
+//!
+//! One `IndexedExec` and `IndexedStream` for all paths. Parameterized by
+//! `Arc<dyn RowGroupBitsetSource>`; the streaming loop is identical regardless
+//! of which evaluator produces the bitset.
+//!
+//! # Per-RG streaming with prefetch overlap
+//!
+//! - `IndexReader` runs `evaluator.prefetch_rg(rg)` in a background task.
+//! - While that's running, `IndexedStream` polls the current RG's parquet
+//!   stream for record batches.
+//! - When the parquet stream for the current RG finishes, the prefetched
+//!   next-RG bitset is ready (or we wait briefly for it).
+//!
+//! # Post-decode mask (multi-filter tree path only)
+//!
+//! If `evaluator.on_batch_mask()` returns `Some(mask)`, we apply it via
+//! `filter_record_batch`. If it returns `None` (single-collector path:
+//! DataFusion's own predicate pushdown filtered during decode), we emit
+//! the batch as-is.

+//! Substrait → boolean tree conversion.
+//!
+//! After Substrait is decoded into a DataFusion `LogicalPlan`, the filter
+//! expression is a tree of `Expr` nodes. This module walks that tree and
+//! classifies each node:
+//!
+//! - `AND` / `OR` / `NOT` → `BoolNode::And` / `Or` / `Not`
+//! - `ScalarFunction` named `COLLECTOR_FUNCTION_NAME` with one `Binary`
+//!   literal argument → `BoolNode::Collector { annotation_id }`. The ID
+//!   are the serialized backend query payload; they're handed to a Java
+//!   factory at query-resolve time to create a provider.
+//! - **Anything else** → lowered to [`Arc<dyn PhysicalExpr>`] via
+//!   DataFusion's `create_physical_expr`, wrapped in
+//!   [`BoolNode::Predicate`]. Comparisons, `IS NULL`, `IN`, `BETWEEN`,
+//!   arithmetic, casts, UDFs — any boolean-valued DataFusion expression
+//!   is accepted.
+//!
+//! **The substrait plan is the wire format.** Java never serializes an
+//! `IndexFilterTree`; it rewrites `column = 'value'` on indexed columns to
+//! `delegated_predicate(annotationId)` UDF calls during the Calcite marking phase,
+//! and that survives the substrait round-trip. Rust just reads it back out
+//! of the decoded `LogicalPlan`.

+//! Seedable randomized E2E tests for the indexed parquet query path.
+//!
+//! One fixture is built once per test at 10k–50k rows across multiple
+//! columns, RGs, and pages. Each iteration within a test generates a
+//! random `BoolNode` tree over the fixture's schema + a set of random
+//! Collector-matching doc-id sets; the same tree is evaluated by
+//!
+//! - a row-by-row **oracle** against the raw `Vec<CorpusRow>` we kept
+//!   in memory during corpus generation, and
+//! - the **production pipeline**: `IndexedStream` with
+//!   `BitmapTreeEvaluator`, `PagePruner`, `RowSelection`, etc.
+//!
+//! The result sets must match. Any mismatch prints the outer seed, the
+//! per-iteration seed, the fixture config, and the generated tree so
+//! failures deterministically reproduce via
+//! `INDEXED_E2E_SEED=<hex> cargo test <test_name>`.

+//! Random `BoolNode` tree generation for the fuzz suite.
+//!
+//! Given a schema + a Collector-leaf id space (0..num_collector_leaves),
+//! produces a random tree bounded by `tree_max_depth` and
+//! `tree_max_fanout`. Every AND/OR/NOT/Collector/Predicate shape gets
+//! exercised.
+//!
+//! The returned tree uses tagged Collector leaves: `query_bytes = [id]`
+//! where `id` is a distinct u8 in `[0, num_collector_leaves)`. The
+//! harness wires each tagged leaf to a pre-computed doc-id set (via
+//! `MockCollector`), and the oracle uses the same id-to-set map.

+//! - Two segments in one shard (different content, same schema).

+//! - Partition assignment spanning multiple segments (`compute_assignments`
+//!   emits multi-chunk partitions → `UnionExec + CoalescePartitionsExec`
+//!   wrapper path in `QueryShardExec::execute`).
+//! - Per-segment doc ID locality (each segment has its own `[0, max_doc)`).

+//! Coordinator-reduce local execution.
+//!
+//! A [`LocalSession`] holds a DataFusion [`SessionContext`] configured to share
+//! the caller-supplied [`RuntimeEnv`] (and therefore its memory pool) with the
+//! rest of the node. The session is the Rust-side counterpart of
+//! `DatafusionReduceSink` on the Java side:
+//!
+//! 1. For each declared stage input, [`LocalSession::register_partition`]
+//!    creates a [`PartitionStreamSender`] / [`PartitionStreamReceiver`] pair,
+//!    wraps the receiver in a [`SingleReceiverPartition`], and registers it as
+//!    a [`StreamingTable`] on the session under the input id.
+//! 2. [`LocalSession::execute_substrait`] decodes a Substrait plan against the
+//!    session (its table references resolve to the streaming tables) and hands
+//!    back a [`SendableRecordBatchStream`] the bridge layer can drain.
+//!
+//! The session has no knowledge of the FFM bridge; it is exposed to Java via a
+//! raw `Box::into_raw` pointer managed in `api.rs`, matching the lifecycle
+//! model used by `DataFusionRuntime` / `ShardView` / `QueryStreamHandle`.

+//! Streaming input for coordinator-reduce execution.
+//!
+//! A [`channel`] produces a paired [`PartitionStreamSender`] /
+//! [`PartitionStreamReceiver`]. The sender is exposed through the FFM bridge so
+//! Java can push Arrow `RecordBatch`es synchronously via
+//! [`PartitionStreamSender::send_blocking`]. The receiver implements DataFusion's
+//! [`RecordBatchStream`] and is wrapped in a [`SingleReceiverPartition`] so it
+//! can be registered on a `SessionContext` as a `StreamingTable`.
+//!
+//! # Backpressure
+//!
+//! The underlying mpsc is bounded (capacity 4) — chosen small so the sender
+//! back-pressures when the DataFusion execute side falls behind. Under load the
+//! Java feeder thread blocks on `send_blocking`, which naturally stalls the
+//! shard response pipeline.
+//!
+//! # Single-consumer contract
+//!
+//! [`SingleReceiverPartition::execute`] hands out the receiver exactly once. Any
+//! subsequent `execute()` call on the same partition returns an already-closed
+//! empty stream rather than panicking — matches the "take once, then empty"
+//! contract expected by DataFusion's `StreamingTable` when a partition is
+//! re-executed.

+//! `convert_tz(ts, from_tz, to_tz)` — shift a timestamp from one timezone to another.
+//!
+//! # Division of labor with the Java adapter
+//!
+//! Literal validation + canonicalization happens Java-side in
+//! `ConvertTzAdapter` (see `.../be/datafusion/ConvertTzAdapter.java`), which
+//! runs at plan time:
+//!   * bad literals (unknown IANA, malformed offset) surface as
+//!     `IllegalArgumentException` at plan time — users see the error instantly.
+//!   * literal tz operands arrive here already canonicalized (`+05:00`, not
+//!     `+5:00`; JDK-normalized IANA ids).
+//!   * identity cases (`from == to`) are short-circuited plan-side and never
+//!     reach this UDF.
+//!
+//! What stays here:
+//!   * **Per-row DST-correct shifting.** IANA offsets vary per instant; can't
+//!     be folded at plan time.
+//!   * **Column-valued tz operands.** Values aren't known until runtime;
+//!     unparseable entries yield NULL rows (matches MySQL's lenient
+//!     `CONVERT_TZ` behavior).
+//!
+//! Semantics (MySQL-compatible):
+//! * `ts` is interpreted as a wall-clock time in `from_tz`.
+//! * The return is the wall-clock time in `to_tz` for the same instant.
+//! * Timezone strings may be IANA names (`'America/New_York'`) or ISO offsets
+//!   of the form `±HH:MM` with hours ∈ [0,14], minutes ∈ [0,59].
+//! * Any null input → null output (null propagation).
+//! * Unparseable column-valued timezone → null output.

+//! `json_extend(value, path1, val1, [path2, val2, ...])` — spread-or-append:
+//! if `valN` parses as a JSON array its elements are pushed individually onto
+//! the path-matched target array; otherwise the whole value is pushed as a
+//! single string element (parity with legacy `gson.fromJson(..., List.class)`
+//! try/fall-back in `JsonExtendFunctionImpl`). Non-array / missing targets are
+//! no-ops; any-NULL-arg / malformed-doc / malformed-path → NULL.
+//!
+//! Intentional divergence from legacy: spread preserves source numeric type
+//! (`[1,2,3]` → `1,2,3`). Gson widens every number to `Double` (`1.0, 2.0,
+//! 3.0`); no legacy IT covers this edge case, so every existing fixture still
+//! passes. Tracked for follow-up cross-engine alignment.

+//! `mvappend(arg1, arg2, …)` — flatten a mixed list of array and scalar args
+//! into a single array, dropping null args AND null elements inside array args.
+//!
+//! Mirrors PPL's [`MVAppendFunctionImpl`] / [`MVAppendCore`] semantics:
+//!
+//! * For each argument, in order:
+//!   * NULL argument → skipped entirely.
+//!   * Array argument → each non-null element is appended to the output.
+//!   * Scalar argument → appended as a single element.
+//! * Returns NULL if no non-null elements were collected (PPL convention —
+//!   distinguishes `mvappend(null)` from `mvappend()` from `mvappend([])`).
+//!
+//! ## Type homogeneity
+//!
+//! The Java adapter (`MvappendAdapter`) casts every scalar argument to the
+//! call's array component type and every array argument to
+//! `ARRAY<componentType>` before this UDF runs, so by the time we see operands
+//! they share a single element type. The element-conversion macro below
+//! handles each supported scalar Arrow type explicitly; a list whose data
+//! vector type isn't covered surfaces as a planning error rather than a
+//! silent coercion.
+//!
+//! Mixed-type calls (`mvappend(1, 'text', 2.5)`) end up with Calcite type
+//! `ARRAY<ANY>` which substrait doesn't have an encoding for — those fail at
+//! substrait conversion, before reaching this UDF, and aren't addressed here.

+//! `mvfind(arr, regex)` — find the 0-based index of the first array element
+//! matching a regex, or NULL if no match.
+//!
+//! Mirrors PPL's [`MVFindFunctionImpl`] semantics:
+//!
+//! * Per-element regex match (Java's `Matcher.find` semantics — substring
+//!   match, not full-string anchored). The Rust `regex` crate's
+//!   `Regex::is_match` matches the same way (unanchored).
+//! * NULL element → skipped (continues to next element).
+//! * NULL array or NULL pattern → NULL result.
+//! * Empty array → NULL result (no element to match).
+//! * Returns Int32 — PPL's surface is `Integer`.
+//! * Result type is consistent with the YAML declaration in
+//!   `opensearch_array_functions.yaml`.
+//!
+//! # Pattern compilation strategy
+//!
+//! When the pattern operand is a non-NULL Utf8 scalar literal we compile the
+//! regex once up front (mirrors the SQL plugin's `tryCompileLiteralPattern`
+//! plan-time optimization). Column-valued patterns are compiled per row;
+//! invalid patterns yield NULL for that row (per PPL spec, dynamic-pattern
+//! errors are non-fatal — bad rows just produce NULL).

+//! `mvzip(left, right [, separator])` — element-wise zip of two arrays into an
+//! array of strings, joined per pair by a separator (default `,`).
+//!
+//! Mirrors PPL's [`MVZipFunctionImpl`] semantics:
+//!
+//! * Result length is `min(len(left), len(right))` (Python-`zip` truncation).
+//! * Either array NULL → NULL result.
+//! * Element NULLs are rendered as empty strings (matches the SQL plugin's
+//!   `Objects.toString(elem, "")`), so `mvzip([1, NULL], ["a", "b"])` yields
+//!   `["1,a", ",b"]`.
+//! * The separator is a Utf8 scalar. Calling it as a column would require
+//!   per-row materialization; PPL's surface only exposes a literal so we
+//!   constrain to scalars here and produce a planning error otherwise.
+//!
+//! Result type is `List<Utf8>` regardless of the input element types — `mvzip`
+//! is fundamentally a string-formatting operation. The Java side relies on the
+//! `opensearch_array_functions.yaml` declaration to type the call before
+//! substrait emission.

+//! Integration tests for the coordinator-reduce FFM exports.
+//!
+//! These tests drive the `df_*` C ABI entry points directly (same symbols
+//! the Java side calls through `NativeBridge`) and validate:
+//!
+//! - `df_create_local_session` / `df_close_local_session` lifecycle
+//! - `df_register_partition_stream` exposes the input as a DataFusion table
+//! - `df_sender_send` → execute → `df_stream_next` drains a `SUM` aggregate
+//! - Error path: `df_sender_send` on a sender whose receiver is gone returns
+//!   a negative rc and the heap-allocated error string decodes cleanly
+//! - `df_close_local_session` drops registered senders (receiver side of the
+//!   mpsc closes), so a subsequent `df_sender_send` fails
+//!
+//! The runtime manager (`df_init_runtime_manager`) is a process-global
+//! singleton, so we initialize it exactly once across all tests via a
+//! `OnceLock` guard.

+/**
+ * End-to-end parity tests for PPL datetime scalar functions routed through
+ * PPL → Calcite → Substrait → DataFusion. Bank fixture row 1:
+ * {@code created_at = 2024-06-15T10:30:00Z}. Niladic functions are checked for
+ * non-null only — their value depends on wall-clock time.
+ *
+ * <p>Functions whose DF-builtin semantics diverge from legacy PPL are
+ * intentionally not advertised to the analytics-engine planner and flow through
+ * the legacy Calcite path — they'll be re-routed through Rust UDFs in a
+ * follow-up, matching the convert_tz / to_unixtime pattern already in this
+ * plugin. Those are:
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>{@code SECOND / SECOND_OF_MINUTE} — DF returns DOUBLE, PPL INTEGER</li>
+ *   <li>{@code DAYOFWEEK / DAY_OF_WEEK} — DF Sun=0..Sat=6, PPL Sun=1..Sat=7</li>
+ *   <li>{@code SYSDATE} — DF now() is query-constant, PPL per-row</li>
+ *   <li>{@code DATE_FORMAT / TIME_FORMAT} — DF chrono tokens, PPL MySQL dialect</li>
+ *   <li>{@code FROM_UNIXTIME(epoch, fmt)} / {@code DATETIME(expr, tz)} 2-arg overloads —
+ *       no matching DF signature</li>
+ *   <li>{@code EXTRACT(unit FROM ts)} — isthmus resolves {@link org.apache.calcite.sql.SqlKind#EXTRACT}
+ *       through scalar-function lookup rather than emitting a native Substrait
+ *       extract; needs a dedicated adapter + yaml entry routing to {@code date_part}
+ *       (PPL {@code month(ts)} etc. already covers the same semantics).</li>
+ *   <li>{@code DATE(expr)} / {@code TIME(expr)} / {@code MAKETIME(h,m,s)} — PPL's
+ *       Calcite binding returns VARCHAR for these, so downstream date-part calls
+ *       lower to {@code date_part(string, string?)} which has no DataFusion signature.
+ *       Needs PPL to produce real DATE/TIME types before they can route here.</li>
+ * </ul>

+ * Shared lifecycle skeleton for coordinator-side {@link ExchangeSink}s backed by a native

+ * native handoff via {@link #feedBatchUnderLock} and {@link #closeUnderLock}.
+ *
+ * <p>Lifecycle invariants enforced by this base:
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>{@link #feed} synchronises on {@link #feedLock}, short-circuits when {@link #closed},
+ *       and always closes the supplied {@link VectorSchemaRoot} in {@code finally} regardless
+ *       of whether {@link #feedBatchUnderLock} succeeds.</li>
+ *   <li>{@link #close} flips {@link #closed} once under {@link #feedLock}, runs the
+ *       subclass-specific {@link #closeUnderLock} hook, and unconditionally closes
+ *       {@link #session} in {@code finally}, accumulating any failures and rethrowing.</li>
+ *   <li>The downstream from {@link ExchangeSinkContext#downstream()} is intentionally NOT
+ *       closed here — it accumulates drained results consumed by the walker after the
+ *       sink is done.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Multi-input shapes (Union, future Join) are supported at this base by exposing

+ * and runs the Substrait plan against the materialized input.
+ *
+ * <p>Trade-offs:

+ *   <li>− All input batches live in memory until {@code close()}. Use the streaming sink when
+ *       the working set is too large to retain.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Lifecycle invariants and {@code feed}/{@code close} skeleton are implemented in
+ * {@link AbstractDatafusionReduceSink}. This subclass owns the buffered FFI structs and the
+ * close-time {@code registerMemtable + executeLocalPlan + drain} sequence.
+ *
+ * <p><b>Single-input only.</b> The memtable path registers exactly one {@code MemTable}
+ * at close time, so multi-input shapes (Union, future Join) are not supported here —
+ * the constructor rejects them with a clear message. Streaming mode
+ * ({@link DatafusionReduceSink}) supports multi-input via per-child
+ * {@link org.opensearch.analytics.spi.MultiInputExchangeSink#sinkForChild(int) sinkForChild}
+ * partitions; the {@link DataFusionAnalyticsBackendPlugin} provider is the user-facing
+ * gate that auto-falls-back to streaming when {@code childInputs.size() > 1}, so callers
+ * shouldn't see this error in practice. The constructor's check remains as a
+ * direct-instantiation safety net.
+ *
+ * <p>TODO: support multi-input memtable by registering one {@code MemTable} per child
+ * stage (each with its own {@code "input-<childStageId>"} table id) and accumulating
+ * separate buffers per child via a per-child {@link org.opensearch.analytics.spi.ExchangeSink}

+ *   <li><b>Replacement</b>: wrap bare {@code $N} backreferences in braces ({@code ${N}}).
+ *       Rust's regex replacement parser greedily extends {@code $N} into the longest
+ *       valid identifier — so {@code $1_$2} is parsed as a reference to the (non-existent)
+ *       group named {@code 1_} followed by {@code $2}, yielding empty + group-2's value.
+ *       Java's {@link java.util.regex.Matcher#replaceAll} stops at the first non-digit, so

+ *       backreference in braces gives Rust the unambiguous form regardless of what
+ *       follows.</li>
+ * </ol>
+ *
+ * <p>Both rewrites preserve semantics — they're syntactic normalizations, not behavior
+ * changes. Calls without {@code \Q} in the pattern AND without bare {@code $N} in the
+ * replacement pass through unchanged.
+ *
+ * <p>Pattern faithful to {@link java.util.regex.Pattern} semantics: an unterminated

+ * Adapts PPL {@code strcmp(a, b)} into a pure Substrait/DataFusion CASE expression.
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>{@code -1} when {@code a < b}</li>
+ *   <li>{@code  0} when {@code a = b}</li>
+ *   <li>{@code  1} when {@code a > b}</li>
+ *   <li>{@code NULL} when either operand is {@code NULL}</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Rewrite:
+ * <pre>{@code
+ *   strcmp(a, b)
+ *     →
+ *   CASE
+ *     WHEN a IS NULL OR b IS NULL THEN NULL
+ *     WHEN a < b THEN -1
+ *     WHEN a = b THEN  0
+ *     ELSE              1
+ *   END
+ * }</pre>
+ *
+ * <p>Why the adapter beats a row-by-row Rust UDF: the {@code <} and {@code =}
+ * comparisons between {@code StringArray} operands lower to arrow-rs compute
+ * kernels ({@code arrow::compute::lt}, {@code arrow::compute::eq}) which are
+ * SIMD-vectorized on x86_64 (AVX2) and arm64 (NEON). The CASE ({@code ifelse})
+ * is also an arrow vectorized kernel. A UDF that loops
+ * {@code for i in 0..n { str::cmp(...) }} per row is strictly slower — it
+ * amortizes FFI over the batch but the inner compare is scalar.
+ *
+ * <p>PPL's frontend reverses {@code strcmp}'s args vs. user order. This adapter
+ * swaps them back — operands are consumed as {@code (arg1, arg0)} from the
+ * original call so the resulting {@code a < b} / {@code a = b} maps 1:1 to the
+ * user-intended {@code -1 / 0 / 1} convention.

+ * <h2>How it works</h2>
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li><b>Value rewriting</b> — Each source CodecReader is wrapped with
+ *       {@link org.opensearch.be.lucene.merge.RowIdRemappingCodecReader} which replaces
+ *       {@code ___row_id} doc values with the remapped global values from the RowIdMapping.</li>
+ *   <li><b>Document ordering</b> — {@code addIndexes(CodecReader...)} applies the writer's
+ *       IndexSort from scratch (full sort, not merge-sort). The {@code SortedNumericSortField}
+ *       on the row ID field reads the already-remapped values and sorts all documents by
+ *       ascending row ID, including cross-segment interleaving and within-segment reordering.</li>
+ *   <li><b>Segment cleanup</b> — Lucene's internal merge path handles segment lifecycle:
+ *       {@code commitMerge} removes old segments from the live list and decrements file references.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <h2>Key classes</h2>
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>{@link org.opensearch.be.lucene.merge.LuceneMerger} — Orchestrates the merge.</li>
+ *   <li>{@link org.opensearch.be.lucene.merge.RowIdRemappingCodecReader} — FilterCodecReader
+ *       that remaps {@code ___row_id} doc values.</li>

-
-      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
-      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
-      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
-      and conversions to other media types.
-
-      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
-      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
-      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
-      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
-
-      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
-      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
-      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
-      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
-      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
-      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
-      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
-
-      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
-      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
-      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
-      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
-      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
-      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"

-
-      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
-      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
-      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
-
-   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
-      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
-      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
-      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
-      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
-      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
-
-   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
-      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
-      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
-      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
-      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
-      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
-      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
-      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
-      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
-      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
-      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
-      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
-      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
-      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
-      as of the date such litigation is filed.
-
-   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
-      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
-      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
-      meet the following conditions:
-
-      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
-          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
-
-      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
-          stating that You changed the files; and
-
-      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
-          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
-          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
-          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
-          the Derivative Works; and
-
-      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
-          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
-          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
-          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
-          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
-          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
-          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
-          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
-          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
-          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
-          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
-          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
-          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
-          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
-          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
-          as modifying the License.
-
-      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
-      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
-      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
-      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
-      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
-      the conditions stated in this License.
-
-   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
-      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
-      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
-      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
-      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
-      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
-      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
-
-   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
-      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
-      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
-      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
-
-   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
-      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
-      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
-      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
-      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
-      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
-      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
-      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
-      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
-
-   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
-      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
-      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
-      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
-      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
-      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
-      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
-      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
-      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
-      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
-      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
-
-   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
-      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
-      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
-      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
-      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
-      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
-      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
-      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
-      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
-      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
-
-   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
-   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.

-      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
-      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,

-      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
-      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
-      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
-
-      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
-      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
-      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
-      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
-      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

-      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
-      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

-      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
-      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
-      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
-      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
-      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
-      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
-      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
-      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
-      as of the date such litigation is filed.
-
-    4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
-      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
-      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
-      meet the following conditions:
-
-      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
-          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
-
-      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
-          stating that You changed the files; and

-      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
-          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
-          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
-          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
-          the Derivative Works; and
-
-      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
-          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
-          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
-          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
-          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
-          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
-          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
-          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
-          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
-          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
-          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
-          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
-          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
-          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
-          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
-          as modifying the License.
-
-      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
-      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
-      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
-      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
-      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
-      the conditions stated in this License.
-
-    5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
-      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
-      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
-      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
-      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
-      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
-      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
-
-    6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
-      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
-      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
-      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
-
-    7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
-      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
-      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
-      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
-      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
-      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
-      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
-      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
-      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
-

-
-      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
-      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
-      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
-      and conversions to other media types.
-
-      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
-      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
-      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
-      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
-
-      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
-      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
-      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
-      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
-      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
-      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
-      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
-
-      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
-      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
-      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
-      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
-      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
-      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"

-
-      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
-      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
-      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
-
-   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
-      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
-      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
-      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
-      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
-      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
-
-   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
-      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
-      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
-      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
-      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
-      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
-      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
-      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
-      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
-      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
-      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
-      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
-      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
-      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
-      as of the date such litigation is filed.
-
-   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
-      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
-      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
-      meet the following conditions:
-
-      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
-          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
-
-      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
-          stating that You changed the files; and
-
-      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
-          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
-          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
-          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
-          the Derivative Works; and
-
-      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
-          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
-          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
-          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
-          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
-          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
-          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
-          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
-          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
-          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
-          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
-          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
-          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
-          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
-          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
-          as modifying the License.
-
-      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
-      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
-      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
-      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
-      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
-      the conditions stated in this License.
-
-   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
-      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
-      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
-      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
-      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
-      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
-      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
-
-   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
-      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
-      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
-      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
-
-   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
-      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
-      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
-      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
-      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
-      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
-      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
-      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
-      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
-
-   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
-      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
-      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
-      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
-      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
-      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
-      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
-      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
-      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
-      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
-      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
-
-   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
-      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
-      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
-      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
-      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
-      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
-      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
-      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
-      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
-      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
-
-   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
-   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.

-      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
-      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
-      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
-      and conversions to other media types.
-
-      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
-      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
-      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
-      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
-
-      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
-      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
-      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
-      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
-      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

-      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
-      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
-      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
-      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
-      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
-
-    3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of

-      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
-      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
-      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
-      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
-      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
-      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
-      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
-      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
-      as of the date such litigation is filed.
-
-    4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
-      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
-      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
-      meet the following conditions:
-
-      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
-          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
-
-      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
-          stating that You changed the files; and
-
-      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
-          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
-          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
-          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
-          the Derivative Works; and
-
-      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
-          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
-          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
-          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
-          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
-          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
-          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
-          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
-          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
-          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
-          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
-          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
-          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
-          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
-          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
-          as modifying the License.
-
-      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
-      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
-      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
-      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
-      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
-      the conditions stated in this License.
-
-    5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
-      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
-      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
-      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.

+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.

+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.

+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,

+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and

+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of

+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed

+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade

+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each

+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A

+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor

+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+--------------------------------
+
+2.1. Grants
+
+Each Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,
+non-exclusive license:
+
+(a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark)
+    Licensable by such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available,
+    modify, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise exploit its
+    Contributions, either on an unmodified basis, with Modifications, or

+
+(b) under Patent Claims of such Contributor to make, use, sell, offer
+    for sale, have made, import, and otherwise transfer either its
+    Contributions or its Contributor Version.
+
+2.2. Effective Date
+
+The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution
+become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
+distributes such Contribution.
+
+2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
+
+The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
+this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
+distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
+Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
+Contributor:
+
+(a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
+    or
+
+(b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
+    modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
+    Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor
+    Version); or
+
+(c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
+    its Contributions.
+
+This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
+or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
+the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
+
+2.4. Subsequent Licenses
+
+No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to
+distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this
+License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
+permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
+
+2.5. Representation
+
+Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
+Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
+to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
+
+2.6. Fair Use
+
+This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
+applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
+equivalents.
+
+2.7. Conditions
+
+Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
+in Section 2.1.
+
+3. Responsibilities
+-------------------
+
+3.1. Distribution of Source Form
+
+All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
+Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
+the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
+Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
+License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
+attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
+Form.
+
+3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
+
+If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
+
+(a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
+    Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
+    the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
+    Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
+    than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
+
+(b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
+    License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
+    license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
+    the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
+
+3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
+
+You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
+provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
+the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
+Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
+Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
+License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
+under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
+the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
+Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
+License(s).
+
+3.4. Notices
+
+You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
+(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
+or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
+the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
+the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
+
+3.5. Application of Additional Terms
+
+You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
+Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
+behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
+such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
+You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
+liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
+disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
+jurisdiction.
+
+4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
+License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
+statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
+the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
+describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
+be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
+Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
+or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
+recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
+
+5. Termination
+--------------
+
+5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
+if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
+compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
+Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
+ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
+non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
+come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
+notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
+first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
+from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
+Your receipt of the notice.
+
+5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
+infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
+counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
+directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
+You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
+2.1 of this License shall terminate.
+
+5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
+end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
+have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
+prior to termination shall survive termination.

+*  Covered Software is provided under this License on an "as is"       *
+*  basis, without warranty of any kind, either expressed, implied, or  *
+*  statutory, including, without limitation, warranties that the       *
+*  Covered Software is free of defects, merchantable, fit for a        *
+*  particular purpose or non-infringing. The entire risk as to the     *
+*  quality and performance of the Covered Software is with You.        *
+*  Should any Covered Software prove defective in any respect, You     *
+*  (not any Contributor) assume the cost of any necessary servicing,   *
+*  repair, or correction. This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an   *
+*  essential part of this License. No use of any Covered Software is   *
+*  authorized under this License except under this disclaimer.         *
+*                                                                      *

+*  Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort      *
+*  (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall any           *
+*  Contributor, or anyone who distributes Covered Software as          *
+*  permitted above, be liable to You for any direct, indirect,         *
+*  special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character      *
+*  including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of    *

+*  personal injury resulting from such party's negligence to the       *
+*  extent applicable law prohibits such limitation. Some               *
+*  jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of           *
+*  incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion and          *
+*  limitation may not apply to You.                                    *
+*                                                                      *
+************************************************************************
+
+8. Litigation
+-------------
+
+Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the
+courts of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal
+place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that
+jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions.
+Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party's ability to bring
+cross-claims or counter-claims.
+
+9. Miscellaneous
+----------------
+
+This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject
+matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
+unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
+necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides
+that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter
+shall not be used to construe this License against a Contributor.
+
+10. Versions of the License
+---------------------------
+
+10.1. New Versions
+
+Mozilla Foundation is the license steward. Except as provided in Section
+10.3, no one other than the license steward has the right to modify or
+publish new versions of this License. Each version will be given a
+distinguishing version number.
+
+10.2. Effect of New Versions

+You may distribute the Covered Software under the terms of the version
+of the License under which You originally received the Covered Software,

+steward.
+
+10.3. Modified Versions
+
+If you create software not governed by this License, and you want to
+create a new license for such software, you may create and use a
+modified version of this License if you rename the license and remove
+any references to the name of the license steward (except to note that
+such modified license differs from this License).

+      and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
+      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
+      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
+      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+2. License Grants and Conditions
+--------------------------------
+
+2.1. Grants
+
+Each Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,
+non-exclusive license:
+
+(a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark)
+    Licensable by such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available,
+    modify, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise exploit its
+    Contributions, either on an unmodified basis, with Modifications, or
+    as part of a Larger Work; and
+
+(b) under Patent Claims of such Contributor to make, use, sell, offer
+    for sale, have made, import, and otherwise transfer either its
+    Contributions or its Contributor Version.
+
+2.2. Effective Date
+
+The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution
+become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
+distributes such Contribution.
+
+2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
+
+The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
+this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
+distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
+Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
+Contributor:
+
+(a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
+    or
+
+(b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
+    modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
+    Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor
+    Version); or
+
+(c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
+    its Contributions.
+
+This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
+or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
+the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
+
+2.4. Subsequent Licenses
+
+No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to
+distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this
+License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
+permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
+
+2.5. Representation
+
+Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
+Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
+to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
+
+2.6. Fair Use
+
+This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
+applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
+equivalents.
+
+2.7. Conditions
+
+Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
+in Section 2.1.
+
+3. Responsibilities
+-------------------
+
+3.1. Distribution of Source Form
+
+All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
+Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
+the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
+Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
+License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
+attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
+Form.
+
+3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
+
+If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
+
+(a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
+    Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
+    the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
+    Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
+    than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
+
+(b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
+    License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
+    license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
+    the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
+
+3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
+
+You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
+provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
+the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
+Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
+Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
+License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
+under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
+the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
+Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
+License(s).
+
+3.4. Notices
+
+You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
+(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
+or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
+the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
+the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
+
+3.5. Application of Additional Terms
+
+You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
+Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
+behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
+such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
+You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
+liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
+disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
+jurisdiction.
+
+4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
+License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
+statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
+the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
+describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
+be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
+Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
+or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
+recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
+
+5. Termination
+--------------
+
+5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
+if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
+compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
+Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
+ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
+non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
+come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
+notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
+first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
+from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
+Your receipt of the notice.
+
+5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
+infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
+counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
+directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
+You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
+2.1 of this License shall terminate.
+
+5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
+end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
+have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
+prior to termination shall survive termination.

+*  Covered Software is provided under this License on an "as is"       *
+*  basis, without warranty of any kind, either expressed, implied, or  *
+*  statutory, including, without limitation, warranties that the       *
+*  Covered Software is free of defects, merchantable, fit for a        *
+*  particular purpose or non-infringing. The entire risk as to the     *
+*  quality and performance of the Covered Software is with You.        *
+*  Should any Covered Software prove defective in any respect, You     *
+*  (not any Contributor) assume the cost of any necessary servicing,   *
+*  repair, or correction. This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an   *
+*  essential part of this License. No use of any Covered Software is   *
+*  authorized under this License except under this disclaimer.         *
+*                                                                      *

+*  Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort      *
+*  (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall any           *
+*  Contributor, or anyone who distributes Covered Software as          *

+*  including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of    *

+*  personal injury resulting from such party's negligence to the       *
+*  extent applicable law prohibits such limitation. Some               *
+*  jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of           *
+*  incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion and          *
+*  limitation may not apply to You.                                    *
+*                                                                      *
+************************************************************************
+
+8. Litigation
+-------------
+
+Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the
+courts of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal
+place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that
+jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions.
+Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party's ability to bring
+cross-claims or counter-claims.
+
+9. Miscellaneous
+----------------
+
+This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject
+matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
+unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
+necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides
+that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter
+shall not be used to construe this License against a Contributor.
+
+10. Versions of the License
+---------------------------
+
+10.1. New Versions
+
+Mozilla Foundation is the license steward. Except as provided in Section
+10.3, no one other than the license steward has the right to modify or

+10.2. Effect of New Versions
+
+You may distribute the Covered Software under the terms of the version
+of the License under which You originally received the Covered Software,
+or under the terms of any subsequent version published by the license
+steward.
+
+10.3. Modified Versions
+
+If you create software not governed by this License, and you want to
+create a new license for such software, you may create and use a
+modified version of this License if you rename the license and remove
+any references to the name of the license steward (except to note that
+such modified license differs from this License).
+
+10.4. Distributing Source Code Form that is Incompatible With Secondary
+Licenses

+If You choose to distribute Source Code Form that is Incompatible With
+Secondary Licenses under the terms of this version of the License, the

+//! Cache key helpers for [`PageCache`] consumers.
+//!
+//! ## Enforced key construction
+//!
+//! [`PageCache::get`] and [`PageCache::put`] accept [`CacheKey`], not `&str`.
+//! [`CacheKey`] has no public constructor and no `From<&str>` impl — raw strings
+//! are rejected at compile time. Callers must use the helpers in this module.
+//!
+//! ## Key conventions
+//!
+//! - **Range entries** (byte-range reads): key = `"path\x1Fstart-end"`.
+//!   Use [`range_cache_key`] to build the key; pass `path` directly to
+//!   [`PageCache::evict_prefix`] to evict all ranges for a file.
+//!
+//! - **Block entries** (fixed-size block reads, e.g. Lucene): key = full block
+//!   path (already unique, no separator needed). Pass the block path directly to
+//!   `put`/`get`, and the segment base path to [`PageCache::evict_prefix`] to
+//!   evict all blocks for a segment. A `block_cache_key()` helper will be added
+//!   when the Lucene cache consumer is integrated.
+//!
+//! Add new key-format helpers here as additional cache consumers are integrated.

-      source, and configuration files.
-
-      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
-      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
-      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
-      and conversions to other media types.
-
-      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
-      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
-      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
-      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
-
-      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
-      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
-      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
-      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
-      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
-      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
-      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
-
-      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
-      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
-      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
-      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
-      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
-      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
-      means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
-      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
-      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
-      and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
-      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
-      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
-      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
-
-      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
-      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
-      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
-
-   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
-      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
-      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
-      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
-      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
-      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
-
-   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
-      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
-      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
-      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
-      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
-      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
-      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
-      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
-      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
-      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
-      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
-      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
-      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
-      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
-      as of the date such litigation is filed.
-
-   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
-      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
-      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
-      meet the following conditions:
-
-      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
-          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
-
-      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
-          stating that You changed the files; and
-
-      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
-          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
-          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
-          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
-          the Derivative Works; and
-
-      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
-          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
-          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
-          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
-          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
-          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
-          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
-          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
-          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
-          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
-          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
-          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
-          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
-          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
-          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
-          as modifying the License.
-
-      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
-      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
-      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
-      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
-      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
-      the conditions stated in this License.
-
-   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
-      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
-      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
-      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
-      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
-      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
-      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
-
-   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
-      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
-      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
-      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
-
-   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
-      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
-      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
-      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
-      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
-      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
-      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
-      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
-      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
-
-   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
-      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
-      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
-      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
-      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
-      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
-      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
-      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
-      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
-      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
-      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
-
-   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
-      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
-      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
-      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
-      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
-      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
-      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
-      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
-      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
-      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
-
-   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
-   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.
-
-      To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following
-      boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "[]"
-      replaced with your own identifying information. (Don't include
-      the brackets!)  The text should be enclosed in the appropriate
-      comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that a
-      file or class name and description of purpose be included on the

-      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
-      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
-      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
-
-      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
-      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
-      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
-
-    2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
-      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
-      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
-      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
-      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
-      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
-
-    3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
-      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
-      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
-      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
-      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
-      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
-      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
-      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
-      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
-      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
-      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
-      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
-      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
-      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
-      as of the date such litigation is filed.
-
-    4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
-      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
-      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
-      meet the following conditions:
-
-      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
-          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
-
-      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
-          stating that You changed the files; and
-
-      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
-          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
-          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
-          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
-          the Derivative Works; and
-
-      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
-          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
-          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
-          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
-          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
-          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
-          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
-          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
-          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
-          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
-          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
-          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
-          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
-          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
-          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
-          as modifying the License.
-
-      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
-      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
-      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
-      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
-      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
-      the conditions stated in this License.
-
-    5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
-      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
-      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
-      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
-      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
-      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
-      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
-
-    6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
-      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
-      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
-      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
-
-    7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
-      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
-      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
-      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
-      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
-      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
-      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
-      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
-      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
-
-    8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
-      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
-      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
-      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
-      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
-      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
-      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
-      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
-      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
-      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
-      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
-
-    9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
-      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
-      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
-      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
-      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
-      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
-      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
-      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
-      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
-      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
+
+   1. Definitions.

+
+      "Licensor" shall mean the copyright owner or entity authorized by
+      the copyright owner that is granting the License.
+

+      control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
+      "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
+      direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
+      otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the

+
+      "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity

+      source, and configuration files.
+
+      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.
+
+      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
+      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
+      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+      means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+      and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
+      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
+      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
+      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.

+/// A writer that rate-limits write operations to a specified throughput.
+///
+/// This writer wraps another writer and ensures that data is written at a maximum
+/// rate specified in megabytes per second. It uses periodic pauses to maintain
+/// the target rate, checking after a minimum number of bytes have been written.
+///
+/// # Rate Limiting Strategy
+///
+/// The rate limiter works by:
+/// 1. Tracking bytes written since the last pause
+/// 2. Periodically checking if enough time has elapsed for the bytes written
+/// 3. Sleeping if the write rate exceeds the configured limit
+///
+/// The minimum pause check interval is calculated to avoid excessive overhead
+/// from frequent time checks, defaulting to 25ms worth of data or 1MB, whichever
+/// is smaller.
+///
+/// # Thread Safety
+///
+/// The rate limit can be updated dynamically via `set_mb_per_sec()`. The configuration
+/// is protected by a `RwLock`, allowing concurrent reads while ensuring safe updates.
+/// If the lock becomes poisoned (due to a panic in another thread), the writer will
+/// gracefully degrade by skipping rate limiting rather than propagating the panic.
+///
+///
+/// # Special Cases
+///
+/// - Setting `mb_per_sec` to `0.0` disables rate limiting entirely
+/// - Negative values are rejected with an error
+/// - Lock poisoning is handled gracefully by skipping rate limiting

+# Analytics Engine REST Integration Tests
+
+REST-based integration tests for the analytics engine, running against a live OpenSearch cluster with sandbox plugins installed.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+AnalyticsRestTestCase           ← abstract base (cluster config, helpers)
+├── ParquetDataFusionIT         ← parquet indexing sanity + index settings validation
+├── DslClickBenchIT             ← DSL queries via _search → DataFusion
+└── PplClickBenchIT             ← PPL queries via /_analytics/ppl → DataFusion
+
+Dataset                         ← descriptor for a test dataset (mapping, bulk data, queries)
+DatasetProvisioner              ← provisions any dataset into a parquet-backed index
+DatasetQueryRunner              ← auto-discovers queries and runs them against a cluster
+ClickBenchTestHelper            ← ClickBench dataset constants
+```
+
+- `AnalyticsRestTestCase` — handles cluster preservation, resource loading, JSON escaping, and assertion helpers. Extend this for any new integration test.
+- `Dataset` / `DatasetProvisioner` / `DatasetQueryRunner` — generic test infrastructure. Any new dataset can plug in by adding a directory under `resources/datasets/{name}/`.
+- `ClickBenchTestHelper` — thin wrapper that declares the ClickBench dataset descriptor.
+
+## Adding a New Dataset
+
+To add a new dataset, create a directory under `src/test/resources/datasets/{name}/` with this structure:
+
+```
+datasets/
+  {name}/
+    mapping.json              # index mapping + settings
+    bulk.json                 # bulk-indexable documents (NDJSON)
+    dsl/q1.json ... qN.json   # DSL queries (auto-discovered)
+    dsl/expected/q1.json ...  # expected responses (optional)
+    ppl/q1.ppl ... qN.ppl     # PPL queries (auto-discovered)
+    ppl/expected/q1.json ...  # expected responses (optional)
+```
+
+Then declare the dataset in Java:
+
+```java
+Dataset myDataset = new Dataset("myDatasetName", "my_index_name");
+```
+
+`DatasetProvisioner.provision(client, myDataset)` creates the index with parquet data format and ingests the bulk data. `DatasetQueryRunner.discoverQueryNumbers(myDataset, "dsl")` auto-discovers all query files.
+
+## Test Classes
+
+| Test | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `ParquetDataFusionIT` | Sanity check: creates a parquet-format index, validates settings are persisted, ingests docs, runs a simple search |
+| `DslClickBenchIT` | Runs ClickBench DSL queries via `_search` → dsl-query-executor → Calcite → Substrait → DataFusion |
+| `PplClickBenchIT` | Runs ClickBench PPL queries via `/_analytics/ppl` → test-ppl-frontend → analytics-engine → Calcite → Substrait → DataFusion |
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### JDK 25+
+
+The sandbox requires JDK 25 or newer:
+
+```bash
+export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-25.jdk/Contents/Home  # macOS example
+```
+
+### Rust toolchain (native library)
+
+The DataFusion backend requires a native Rust library. Build it once (re-run after Rust code changes):
+
+```bash
+./gradlew :sandbox:libs:dataformat-native:buildRustLibrary -Dsandbox.enabled=true
+```
+
+## Running Tests
+
+### Managed testClusters (integTest) — auto-provisioned
+
+The `integTest` task auto-starts a single-node cluster with all required plugins and runs the tests:
+
+```bash
+./gradlew :sandbox:qa:analytics-engine-rest:integTest -Dsandbox.enabled=true
+```
+
+The cluster configuration (plugins, feature flag, native library path) is defined in `build.gradle` — no manual setup needed.
+
+### External cluster (restTest) — manually provisioned
+
+Start a cluster manually (see below), then run tests against it:
+
+```bash
+# Default: localhost:9200
+./gradlew :sandbox:qa:analytics-engine-rest:restTest -Dsandbox.enabled=true
+
+# Custom cluster
+./gradlew :sandbox:qa:analytics-engine-rest:restTest -Dsandbox.enabled=true -PrestCluster=host:port
+```
+
+### Starting a cluster manually
+
+```bash
+./gradlew publishToMavenLocal -Dsandbox.enabled=true -x test -x javadoc
+
+NATIVE_LIB_DIR=$(pwd)/sandbox/libs/dataformat-native/rust/target/release
+
+./gradlew run -Dsandbox.enabled=true \
+  -PinstalledPlugins="['analytics-engine', 'parquet-data-format', 'analytics-backend-datafusion', 'analytics-backend-lucene', 'dsl-query-executor', 'composite-engine', 'test-ppl-frontend']" \
+  -Dtests.jvm.argline="-Djava.library.path=$NATIVE_LIB_DIR -Dopensearch.experimental.feature.pluggable.dataformat.enabled=true" \
+  -x javadoc -x test -x missingJavadoc
+```
+
+Note: PPL tests via `/_analytics/ppl` require the `test-ppl-frontend` plugin. It is included in the `integTest` cluster config and can also be added to `./gradlew run` via `-PinstalledPlugins`.
+
+### Running individual tests
+
+```bash
+# Parquet sanity
+./gradlew :sandbox:qa:analytics-engine-rest:integTest -Dsandbox.enabled=true \
+  --tests "org.opensearch.analytics.qa.ParquetDataFusionIT"
+
+# DSL ClickBench
+./gradlew :sandbox:qa:analytics-engine-rest:integTest -Dsandbox.enabled=true \
+  --tests "org.opensearch.analytics.qa.DslClickBenchIT"
+
+# PPL ClickBench
+./gradlew :sandbox:qa:analytics-engine-rest:integTest -Dsandbox.enabled=true \
+  --tests "org.opensearch.analytics.qa.PplClickBenchIT"
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Parquet indexing uses the composite data format framework: `index.composite.primary_data_format = parquet`
+- The `pluggable.dataformat.enabled` feature flag must be set at cluster startup (already configured for `integTest`)
+- DSL path: `_search` → dsl-query-executor → Calcite planning → Substrait → DataFusion
+- PPL path: `/_analytics/ppl` → test-ppl-frontend → analytics-engine → Calcite → Substrait → DataFusion
+- Expected response validation (via `{language}/expected/q{N}.json`) is planned for future iterations — currently the runner only validates that responses are non-empty
+- `DslClickBenchIT` runs ClickBench Q1. Auto-discovery of all 43 DSL queries is commented out in the test (see class javadoc) because several queries exercise unsupported translators/planner rules and destabilize the shared cluster. Re-enable as support expands.
+- `PplClickBenchIT` runs ClickBench Q1 via the test-ppl-frontend plugin. Auto-discovery is commented out for the same reason as DSL.

+ * Self-contained integration test for PPL {@code append} on the analytics-engine route.
+ *
+ * <p>Mirrors {@code CalcitePPLAppendCommandIT} from the {@code opensearch-project/sql}
+ * repository so that the analytics-engine path can be verified inside core without
+ * cross-plugin dependencies on the SQL plugin. Each test sends a PPL query through
+ * {@code POST /_analytics/ppl} (exposed by the {@code test-ppl-frontend} plugin), which
+ * runs the same {@code UnifiedQueryPlanner} → {@code CalciteRelNodeVisitor} → Substrait
+ * → DataFusion pipeline as the SQL plugin's force-routed analytics path.
+ *
+ * <p>Covers the Append surface forms that exercise:
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>two stats branches sorted + truncated by {@code head N}</li>
+ *   <li>cross-index union (a second copy of the same dataset under a different index name)</li>
+ *   <li>shared output column name across branches (no auto-rename)</li>
+ *   <li>{@code | append [ ]} with several empty-subsearch shapes that all collapse to
+ *       the first branch (bare brackets, inner stats with no source, nested
+ *       {@code | append [ ]}, inner {@code | lookup})</li>
+ *   <li>{@code | append [ | <inner|cross|left|semi> join … ]} — empty-left-side joins
+ *       that also collapse to the first branch</li>
+ *   <li>{@code | append [ … | <right|full> join … ]} — joins where the right side
+ *       contributes additional rows under the merged schema even though the left
+ *       side is empty</li>
+ *   <li>type-incompatibility error path raised in {@code SchemaUnifier}</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Provisions the {@code calcs} dataset twice — once into the {@code calcs} index and
+ * once into {@code calcs_alt} — so {@code testAppendDifferentIndex} can union across
+ * indices without pulling in a second dataset. Both indices are parquet-backed via
+ * {@link DatasetProvisioner}; {@link AnalyticsRestTestCase#preserveIndicesUponCompletion()}
+ * keeps them across test methods.

+ * Self-contained integration test for PPL {@code appendpipe} on the analytics-engine route.
+ *
+ * <p>Mirrors {@code CalcitePPLAppendPipeCommandIT} from the {@code opensearch-project/sql}
+ * repository so the analytics-engine path can be verified inside core without cross-plugin
+ * dependencies. Each test sends a PPL query through {@code POST /_analytics/ppl} (exposed
+ * by the {@code test-ppl-frontend} plugin), which runs the same {@code UnifiedQueryPlanner}
+ * → {@code CalciteRelNodeVisitor} → Substrait → DataFusion pipeline as the SQL plugin's
+ * force-routed analytics path.
+ *
+ * <p>{@code appendpipe} differs from {@code append} (covered by {@link AppendCommandIT}):
+ * {@code appendpipe [pipeline]} duplicates the current intermediate result, applies the
+ * inline {@code [pipeline]} to the duplicate, and appends the duplicate's output to the
+ * original. {@code append [search]} runs an entirely separate sub-query and unions its
+ * output. Both lower to a Calcite {@code LogicalUnion} but the upper-stage shape differs
+ * because {@code appendpipe} reuses the original's row stream as its input rather than
+ * starting a fresh {@code source=...}.
+ *
+ * <p>Provisions the {@code calcs} dataset once. {@link AnalyticsRestTestCase#preserveIndicesUponCompletion()}
+ * keeps it across test methods.

+ * Self-contained integration test for PPL {@code fillnull} on the analytics-engine route.

+ * <p>Mirrors {@code CalciteFillNullCommandIT} from the {@code opensearch-project/sql}
+ * repository so that the analytics-engine path can be verified inside core without
+ * cross-plugin dependencies on the SQL plugin. Each test sends a PPL query through
+ * {@code POST /_analytics/ppl} (exposed by the {@code test-ppl-frontend} plugin),
+ * which runs the same {@code UnifiedQueryPlanner} → {@code CalciteRelNodeVisitor} →
+ * Substrait → DataFusion pipeline as the SQL plugin's force-routed analytics path.
+ *
+ * <p>Covers all 13 fillnull surface forms:
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>{@code with X in fields} — single value, named fields</li>
+ *   <li>{@code using f=X, ...} — per-field replacement, including non-literal expressions</li>
+ *   <li>{@code with ceil(...) in ...} — replacement contains a nested scalar call</li>
+ *   <li>{@code value=X} — Calcite-specific syntax, all fields and named fields</li>
+ *   <li>type-incompatibility errors raised in {@code CalciteRelNodeVisitor} preflight</li>
+ * </ul>

+ * engine-module runtime classpath and is not configured in the sandbox
+ * distribution), and supply the downstream Substrait consumer with {@code fp64}
+ * operands that match every Group G Substrait signature's expected family.
+ *
+ * <p>Row values used (from {@code calcs/bulk.json}):

+ * repository so the analytics-engine path can be verified inside core without

+ *
+ * <p>{@code reverse} is plan-time only: {@code CalciteRelNodeVisitor.visitReverse} either
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>finds an existing {@code LogicalSort} via {@code RelMetadataQuery.collations()}
+ *       (or by backtracking through filter/project nodes) and reverses its collation;

+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * The output is always a {@code LogicalSort} with reversed direction (or a passthrough)
+ * — no new operators, no new scalar functions, no aggregates. That means the analytics
+ * route needs zero new wiring to support it: the existing {@code EngineCapability.SORT}
+ * registration in {@code DataFusionAnalyticsBackendPlugin} is enough.
+ *
+ * <p>This IT pins the shapes that go through the analytics path end-to-end: simple
+ * {@code sort + reverse}, {@code sort + reverse + head} (two-Sort-stack which exercises
+ * {@code attachFragmentOnTop} for the limit-aware path), and {@code sort + reverse +
+ * reverse} (double-reverse rebuilding the original sort). Reverse-after-aggregate (no-op)
+ * and reverse-after-eval (where collation propagates through projections) are also
+ * covered.
+ *
+ * <p>Out of scope (failure modes documented in the upstream IT):
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>{@code testStreamstats*} — streamstats lowers to window functions (ROW_NUMBER /
+ *       windowed COUNT / windowed SUM) which the analytics path does not yet wire.
+ *   <li>{@code testTimechart*} — depends on {@code SPAN} time-bucketing scalar (separate

+ *   <li>Direct-match Substrait signatures: {@code ascii}, {@code concat},
+ *       {@code concat_ws}, {@code left}, {@code lower}, {@code ltrim},
+ *       {@code reverse}, {@code right}, {@code rtrim}, {@code substring},
+ *       {@code upper}.</li>
+ *   <li>Name-mapping adapter rewrites (PPL name ≠ DataFusion name) registered in
+ *       {@code DataFusionAnalyticsBackendPlugin.scalarFunctionAdapters()}:
+ *       {@code length → char_length}, {@code locate → strpos} (with arg swap
+ *       and optional 3-arg decomposition), {@code position → strpos} (arg swap),
+ *       {@code substr → substring}, {@code trim → btrim}.</li>
+ *   <li>Full {@link org.opensearch.analytics.spi.ScalarFunctionAdapter} plans:
+ *       {@code strcmp} (decomposed to a SIMD-vectorized {@code CASE} expression)
+ *       and {@code tostring} / {@code tonumber}.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Each test pins a single row of the {@code calcs} dataset via
+ * {@code where key='keyNN'} — field references prevent Calcite's
+ * {@code ReduceExpressionsRule} from constant-folding the expression on the
+ * coordinator, forcing the call to travel through Substrait into DataFusion
+ * where the function wiring is actually exercised.
+ *
+ * <p>Where inputs must be literals (e.g. to exercise a specific parse path),
+ * tests are constructed so the expected output is <b>only</b> producible by the
+ * function under test — not by Calcite's constant-folder short-circuiting. For
+ * example, {@code tostring(int0 * 12345, 'commas')} on {@code int0=1} yields
+ * {@code "12,345"} which proves the commas format path was evaluated; a
+ * passthrough would produce {@code "12345"}.
+ *
+ * <p>Fixture row values used (from {@code calcs/bulk.json}):
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>{@code key00}: str0="FURNITURE", str2="one", num0=12.3, int0=1, int3=8</li>
+ *   <li>{@code key04}: str0="OFFICE SUPPLIES", str2="five", num0=3.5, int0=7</li>

+ *
+ * <h2>Coordination with engine refreshes</h2>

+ * <p>This class itself does not take any engine-level locks. Coordination with the engine's
+ * refresh path is layered on top by installing a {@code MergedSegmentWarmer} on the
+ * {@link IndexWriterConfig} (see {@code LuceneCommitter}). The warmer runs between
+ * {@code mergeMiddle} and {@code commitMerge}, at a point where the {@link IndexWriter}
+ * monitor is <em>not</em> held, and acquires the engine's refresh lock. This establishes the
+ * ordering {@code refreshLock → IndexWriter monitor} on the merge thread, matching the order
+ * used by the engine's refresh path (which takes the refresh lock before calling
+ * {@code addIndexes}). The expensive {@code mergeMiddle} phase therefore runs without holding
+ * the refresh lock, and only the short {@code commitMerge} window is serialized against
+ * refreshes.

+/**
+ * A decorator around {@link Writer} that assigns a monotonically increasing row ID
+ * to each document before delegating to the underlying writer.
+ *
+ * <p>Row IDs are the cross-format correlation key: when a document is written to
+ * multiple data formats (e.g., Parquet for columnar storage and Lucene for inverted
+ * indices), the row ID ensures that the same logical document occupies the same
+ * position in every format's segment. This 1:1 offset correspondence is critical
+ * for merge operations that must rewrite row IDs consistently across formats.
+ *
+ * <p>Each {@code RowIdAwareWriter} instance maintains its own counter starting at 0,
+ * producing sequential IDs within the scope of a single writer generation. The counter
+ * is tied to the writer's lifecycle — when the writer is closed and garbage collected,
+ * the counter is reclaimed with it, avoiding any long-lived map or registry.
+ *
+ * <p>This decorator is created by {@link org.opensearch.index.engine.DataFormatAwareEngine}
+ * when it wraps each writer from the {@link IndexingExecutionEngine}. The engine calls
+ * {@link #addDoc} which sets the row ID on the {@link DocumentInput} and then delegates
+ * to the underlying writer's {@code addDoc}.

+ * @param <P> the document input type accepted by the underlying writer
