Integrate ADQL-to-LSDB with TAP server: Rebase and convert DataFrame to return payload

[Copilot]

Successfully integrated the TAP server with the bin/adql_to_lsdb.py module to enable ADQL query execution via LSDB with DataFrame conversion to VOTable format.

Changes Made

1. Rebased onto dtj-adql-to-lsdb branch - Provides access to the production-ready bin/adql_to_lsdb.adql_to_lsdb() function

2. Cherry-picked TAP server code from copilot/create-tap-server-prototype branch (PR Add TAP Server Prototype with ADQL Parser, LSDB Integration, and TAP_SCHEMA Support #40)

3. Modified tap_server/tap_server.py:

   • Added imports to access bin/adql_to_lsdb module from parent directory
   • Created execute_adql_query() function that:
     • Calls real_adql_to_lsdb.adql_to_lsdb(query) to generate Python code
     • Executes the generated code using exec()
     • Extracts the result DataFrame from execution context
     • Handles both pandas and Dask DataFrames (calls .compute() if needed)
     • Converts DataFrame to list of dicts: result_df.to_dict('records')
     • Returns column names: list(result_df.columns)
   • Updated /sync endpoint to use execute_adql_query() instead of sample data generation

4. Updated tap_server/requirements.txt:

   • Added dependencies: queryparser-python3, lsdb, pandas, dask[complete]

5. Updated tap_server/README.md:

   • Documented the integration flow and how it works
   • Updated examples to use proper ADQL syntax (TOP instead of LIMIT)
   • Added notes about LSDB configuration requirements

DataFrame Conversion Flow

ADQL Query → adql_to_lsdb() → Generated Python Code → exec() → result DataFrame → to_dict('records') → VOTable XML

Files Changed

• tap_server/tap_server.py - Main integration with execute_adql_query() function
• tap_server/requirements.txt - Added LSDB and related dependencies
• tap_server/README.md - Updated documentation with integration details and proper ADQL examples
• bin/requirements.txt - Resolved merge conflicts to include all dependencies
• lsdb/busy_week_2025/hats-import-tess-lc-catalog.ipynb - Resolved merge conflicts

The implementation is complete and ready for testing with a properly configured LSDB installation.

Original prompt

Rebase this branch onto the branch dtj-adql-to-lsdb and use the adql_to_lsdb.adql_to_lsdb function in that branch to do the ADQL interpretation. That function returns Python code, and that code, when executed, will assign a DataFrame to a variable called result. Convert the contents of the DataFrame to the return payload.

You're right - the previous attempt didn't actually push any changes. I'll implement the solution now.

Implemented the solution in commit 4e8d9ea. The TAP server now:

1. Uses bin/adql_to_lsdb.adql_to_lsdb() to convert ADQL to Python code
2. Executes the generated code with exec() to get a DataFrame in the result variable
3. Converts the DataFrame to VOTable format using to_dict('records')

The integration is complete and ready for testing with a properly configured LSDB installation.
