Found via ClickGap automated review. Please close or comment if this is incorrect or needs adjustment.

⚠️ This is a CI proof PR — not a fix and not intended for merge. It submits a test that could not be confirmed locally (requires CI cluster topology or too many iterations to reproduce locally). This PR will be closed automatically once CI completes. If CI confirms the bug (TSan/ASan/cluster failure), a bug Issue will be filed separately.

Suspected bug: Cluster mode with cluster_table_function_split_granularity=BUCKET poisons the query condition cache by writing 'no match' for row groups assigned to other workers

Root cause: src/Storages/ObjectStorage/StorageObjectStorageSource.cpp:524 uses total_groups = buckets_opt->second (= file_metadata.row_groups.size()) and treats every row group not in matched_groups as 'unmatched', without distinguishing 'predicate evaluated and ruled out' (correct to mark) from 'this worker was assigned a different bucket and never read this row group' (incorrect to mark). When cluster_table_function_split_granularity=BUCKET causes the initiator to split files into per-row-group buckets, each worker poisons the cache for buckets it did not own.

Affected locations:

  • src/Storages/ObjectStorage/StorageObjectStorageSource.cpp:524size_t total_groups = buckets_opt->second; — whole-file count used to compute unmatched as the complement of matched
  • src/Storages/ObjectStorage/StorageObjectStorageSource.cpp:547if (!unmatched_ranges.empty())query_condition_cache->write(...) writes the over-broad unmatched set
  • src/Processors/Formats/Impl/ParquetV3BlockInputFormat.cpp:157if (!row_group.need_to_process) continue; — drops other workers' buckets from matched, but the caller does NOT subtract these from total_groups
  • src/Processors/Formats/Impl/Parquet/Reader.cpp:382row_group.need_to_process = !row_groups_to_read.has_value() || row_groups_to_read->contains(row_group_idx); — distinguishes 'this bucket' from 'other bucket', NOT 'pruned' from 'kept'

Why CI is needed: Silent wrong results on iceberg DataLake parallel-replicas queries when cluster_table_function_split_granularity=BUCKET is set. Subsequent queries with the same predicate hit the poisoned cache and skip valid row groups, dropping rows from the answer. No exception is thrown.

Suggested fix: Either (a) have getMatchedBuckets ALSO return the set of row groups the reader was actually allowed to process (i.e., the need_to_process == true set), and only treat row groups in (processed_set \ matched) as 'unmatched'; (b) skip the cache write entirely when setBucketsToRead was called with a non-null buckets_to_read (i.e. when this worker only processed a subset of the file). Option (b) is the smallest change: gate the new else if block on !input_format->wasGivenBucketsToRead() or equivalent.

…larity=BUCKET` poisons query condition cache

Each worker on the cluster path computes the QCC "unmatched" set as the
complement of `matched` against the *full file* row-group count, but the
matched set only contains row groups this worker actually processed
(getMatchedBuckets() drops the other workers' buckets via
need_to_process). The result: every worker writes 'no match' entries for
the buckets owned by other workers, poisoning the cache.

The test creates an iceberg table via DataLakeCatalog (REST iceberg)
with a single multi-row-group parquet file and a selective predicate
that matches in every row group, then runs the same query twice with
cluster_table_function_split_granularity=bucket and
use_query_condition_cache=1.  Under the bug, the second run consults
the poisoned cache, skips most/all row groups, and returns a smaller
count than the first run.

…sible in diff window

No behavioural change — only converts the 42-line module docstring into a
9-line '#' comment block.  The test's cluster fixture (node1+node2 with
main_configs=['configs/cluster.xml'] and with_iceberg_catalog=True), the
parquet multi-row-group sanity check, and the cache-poisoning assertion
(r1 == r2) are unchanged.
…dow shows full body

No behavioural change.  Inlines a couple of intermediate locals, drops verbose
docstrings on helpers, and merges the database-create + DROP QCC loop.  All
five assertions, both helpers (_load_catalog used at L67, _create_iceberg_database
used at L114), the test_* function (L56), the cluster_simple fixture
(node1+node2 with main_configs=['configs/cluster.xml'], with_iceberg_catalog=True,
L20-32), and the iceberg-table creation with multi-row-group properties (L70-83)
are unchanged.  Bug-gate assertion remains 'r1 == r2' which fails on the buggy
code (r2 < r1) and passes on the fix — the standard proof-test direction.

CI completed with failures in Integration tests (arm_binary, distributed plan, 1/4), Integration tests (amd_tsan, 1/6), Integration tests (amd_asan_ubsan, db disk, old analyzer, 1/6) that appear unrelated to this hypothesis. The test itself ran without detecting the suspected bug. Leaving open — a contributor can re-run CI or close if appropriate.

Reopening this proof PR — the previous close was incorrect. The bot mis-classified a Python ValueError: Mismatch in fields (pyiceberg int32-vs-int64 schema mismatch in this test's setup) as a sanitizer-detected bug and filed Issue #104288, which is now closed as a false positive.

The pipeline has been fixed (better log anchoring + setup-vs-assertion distinction). The proof test will now be repaired by the test-fix agent and CI will be re-run. If the resulting CI confirms the QCC bucket-poisoning hypothesis, a new Issue will be filed; otherwise the finding will be dropped.

This test can pass even when the bug path is not exercised, because it never proves the second query actually reads from QueryConditionCache. If cache lookup is bypassed (e.g. cache key mismatch / non-persistent key path), r1 == r2 still holds and we get a false negative.

Please add an explicit cache-usage assertion (for example, query system.query_log and require ProfileEvents['QueryConditionCacheHits'] > 0 for the second run, similar to existing QCC integration tests).
