Build Parquet predicate pruning expressions from per-row-group summaries using shared traversal and combination rules. Relax unsupported operations instead of tracking duplicated always-true literals, and share the builder across statistics, bloom-filter, and dictionary-page converters. Existential pruning semantics require relaxation for unsupported operators and correct handling of conjunctions, disjunctions, and negation. This avoids pruning row groups that may contain matching rows while allowing constrained conjuncts to continue pruning when another conjunct is unconstrained.

WalkthroughThe PR adds a shared Parquet expression simplifier. Statistics, bloom-filter, dictionary, and page-index filtering now produce optional simplified expressions and skip pruning when conversion is unsupported. Tests cover logical pruning, per-row comparisons, dictionary filtering, and the maximum row-count boundary. ChangesParquet filtering

- Around line 1370-1373: Update dictionary_expression_converter and its
construction to receive the per-column operators alongside equality_literals,
then change simplify_comparison’s lookup to match both the literal pointer and
its corresponding op. Preserve the existing unexpected-literal validation and
ensure the operator vector remains aligned with the literal vector used by the
dictionary membership kernels.

index in the shown expression-transform helper to reject negative indices as

bloom-filter or dictionary collectors and simplifiers use
col_ref.get_column_index(), while preserving the existing out-of-range error
behavior.

Reject negative Parquet filter column indices.
std::cmp_less checks only the upper bound, so a negative cudf::size_type passes. The bloom-filter and dictionary collectors, then their simplifiers, use that index to access vectors and _output_dtypes, which can cause out-of-bounds access. Add a lower-bound check:
🛡️ Proposed fix
- CUDF_EXPECTS(std::cmp_less(col_ref.get_column_index(), _output_dtypes.size()),
+ CUDF_EXPECTS(col_ref.get_column_index() >= 0 and
+ std::cmp_less(col_ref.get_column_index(), _output_dtypes.size()),
std::format("Parquet filter column index {} is out of range of {} output columns",
col_ref.get_column_index(),
_output_dtypes.size()),

Description
This PR introduces simplification of AST expressions for Parquet row group and page level filtering. This is mostly a refactor (deduplication) PR with no new functionality or logic added.
The code to walk the AST tree and simplify expressions (for example
always_true AND expr => expr) is refactored out in a new base class calledparquet_expression_simplifier. Whereas the existing expression converters for row group and page filtering (stats, dictionary pages, bloom filters etc) override operator (unary/binary) handling to implement corresponding filtration. Doing so also eliminates the overhead of (and duplicated) handling and propagating analways_trueacross expression converters in these converters where a predicate may not filter anything.Checklist
