"""Distribute different DataFusion expressions to worker processes.
For background — the shipped-expression model, what travels inline vs
by name, portability requirements, and the security threat model —
see ``docs/source/user-guide/distributing-work.rst``.
Builds a list of parametric expressions in the driver — each closing
over a different threshold value — ships one per worker via
``multiprocessing.Pool``, and collects the results back. The closure
state forces the cloudpickle path (a by-name registration would lose
the captured threshold), so this is a real test of the expression-
pickling story rather than a same-expression fan-out.
Worker layout:
* Each worker receives a different ``(label, expr)`` task.
* Each worker materializes the shared dataset locally and runs its
  own expression against it.
* The result and the worker's PID travel back to the driver, so the
  output makes it visible that the work was spread across processes.
