Add decimal support to VARIANT casting - #23858
Conversation
cast_variant and extract_variant_field now accept DECIMAL32/64/128 targets. The VARIANT encoding scales every value individually while a cuDF column carries a single scale, so each value is rescaled to the requested scale, truncating toward zero, and a value that no longer fits the target representation is nulled with the OVERFLOW status.
…hmark decimals Adds a DECIMAL16 test at the int128 limits, which the previous cases left the high half of the payload zeroed for, and a sliced 512-row case so the decimal kernel's grid-stride loop and slice offset are covered. Factors the incoming-status and null-bit preamble the cast paths share into should_decode_row, so the protocol lives in one place instead of three, and extends the variant nvbench with decimal32 and decimal128 cases.

feature request
Adds a DECIMAL64 arm to the overflow test, the only place the int64_t range check is reachable, and a decimal64 case to the cast benchmark's type axis.
# Conflicts: # cpp/tests/io/experimental/variant_extract_test.cpp
The cast target scale and the expected column scale must agree for these tests to mean anything, so route both through one named constant instead of repeating the literal.
Derive the overflow bounds from the target type's limits instead of literals a reviewer has to count digits in, fold the empty-input loops together, and make the interchangeable-widths case a typed test over the three fixed-point types.

No behavioral changes, just using the new helper
The per-digit loop paid a full 128-bit software division for every digit of rescale distance. Computing the divisor with ipow and dividing once, narrowed to 64 bits when both operands fit, cuts a two-digit decimal32 rescale from 168 to 107 us on 2M rows, against a 102 us baseline for a cast that needs no rescale. Also tightens a few comments in the shared row helper.
Give width 16 its own case so an unexpected width yields zero instead of reading 16 bytes, and fix a comment indent in the cast matrix test.

Couldn't find anything worth requesting changes except some of the constexprs / magic numbers used here could use a one liner comment.
LGTM with some optional comments that you can take liberty in addressing

We can use cuda::mul_overflow here Something like the following but it requires __int128_t to satisfy the integer concept in concepts.cuh. Please check if this works and ignore if it errors out.
__device__ cuda::std::optional<__int128_t> constexpr multiply_pow10(__int128_t value, int exp)
{
for (int i = 0; i < exp && value != 0; ++i) {
auto r = ops::mul_overflow<__int128_t>(value, __int128_t{10});
if (!r) { return cuda::std::nullopt; }
value = *r;
}
return value;

It compiles but it's slower. On a three-digit scale-up over 2M rows the checked multiply costs 17% on decimal32 (114.6 → 134.0 µs) and 13% on decimal128 (123.1 → 139.3 µs).
I'm inclined to leave as-is, unless you really think we should switch to mul_overflow.

Optional: Since this kernel processes one element per thread, we could make this a functor and launch via thrust::transform

Zero fits at any scale and a nonzero value cannot survive a scale-up past 10^38, so neither needs the loop. Handling both up front also bounds the requested scale, which the public API does not validate.

Description
closes #23817
cast_variantandextract_variant_fieldnow acceptDECIMAL32/DECIMAL64/DECIMAL128target types, decoding the DECIMAL4/8/16 VARIANT primitives.The encoding stores a scale per value while a cuDF column carries a single scale, so each value is rescaled to
desired_type.scale(). A value that does not fit the target after rescaling is nulled and reported asvariant_operation_status::OVERFLOW. An out-of-range scale byte or a truncated payload reportsMALFORMED_VARIANT, and a non-decimal encoding reportsTYPE_MISMATCH.Also added test and benchmark coverage.
