Fixes #1593.

Local random sampling ignores offset even when it follows a prefetch. With five candidates and offset=5, local mode returns five points while Qdrant 1.19.2 returns none.

Apply the offset after sampling the prefetched candidates, requesting limit + offset points before slicing. Standalone random queries still ignore offset, as the server does. Other query types keep their existing offset handling.

Sync and async regressions cover offsets 0, 2, 4, 5 and 10, with and without a prefetch. Before the fix, six assertions fail and fourteen pass on both runs (1.09s, 1.08s). After the fix, all twenty pass twice (1.02s, 0.96s).

Also ran:

  • pytest qdrant_client/local/tests tests/test_local_persistence.py tests/test_local_uuid_identity.py tests/test_local_sample_offset.py -q: 271 passed twice (4.19s, 3.72s).
  • Separate filtered/nested-prefetch/standalone probes against a disposable Qdrant 1.19.2 server, sync and async over REST and gRPC: 40 cases passed per run, twice. The corresponding patched local probes pass twice. These check result counts, unique IDs, filter membership, payload and vectors, not random ordering.
  • Ruff check/format and the repository's pre-commit hooks pass for both changed files.

I did not run the full repository or model-inference suites. Python 3.12.14, Linux x86_64.

📝 Walkthrough

For prefetched random queries, the local client now samples limit + offset candidates and returns results after the offset. Non-prefetch SampleQuery requests still reset the offset to zero. A congruence test compares result counts across local, HTTP, and gRPC clients.

Explanation

Issue #1593 requires local random queries over prefetched candidates to apply the root offset after sampling, including offsets before, at, and beyond the candidate count. The reviewed change requests limit + offset samples and slices the offset in the local random-sampling path. The added congruence test covers a prefetched random query. The summary reports sync and async regression coverage for offsets 0, 2, 4, 5, and 10, with and without prefetch. The non-prefetch path resets the offset, so standalone random queries retain their existing behavior. No public entity, model, or dependency change is reported.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are limited to qdrant_client/local/local_collection.py and tests/congruence_tests/test_query.py. The production change implements offset handling for local random sampling, and the test change checks the local, HTTP, and gRPC result-count behavior. These changes directly support issue #1593. The supplied summary does not show unrelated behavior changes.

Apply the Prefetch.limit default in the prefetch base case.

A prefetch without limit passes None to _query_collection. The random sampling branch then computes None + 0, which raises TypeError. The documented default is 10.

Suggested fix
             return self._query_collection(
                 query=prefetch.query,
                 using=prefetch.using,
                 query_filter=prefetch_filter,
-                limit=prefetch.limit,
+                limit=prefetch.limit if prefetch.limit is not None else 10,
