Summary

  • Remove 3 dead class attributes from ResponseFuture:
    • default_timeout — belongs to Session, never used in RF
    • _profile_manager — belongs to Session, never used in RF
    • _warned_timeout — never read or written anywhere in the codebase
  • Skip 4 redundant STORE_ATTR operations in __init__ when parameters are None (matching the class-level default): _metrics, prepared_statement, _host, _continuous_paging_state
  • Move prepared_statement and _continuous_paging_state class defaults (previously only set in __init__) to class level so the conditional skip works correctly

Thread Safety

All skipped attributes have class-level None defaults and are only set during __init__ or by the owning thread after construction. No lazy initialization of shared mutable state is introduced — the thread-safety invariants are preserved.

Benchmark

ResponseFuture.__init__ micro-benchmark, min() of 7 × 200k iterations:

Scenario Before After Δ
Common case (all 4 params = None) 670 ns/call 638 ns/call -32 ns/call (4.7%)
Non-None case (metrics + prepared_statement + host set) 957 ns/call 1001 ns/call +43 ns/call (+4.5%)

The common case (simple queries without metrics/prepared statements/host pinning) is the dominant path. The non-None case overhead is from the added if checks, but these params are rarely all non-None simultaneously.

Additional optimization: isinstance dispatch order in _create_response_future

This PR also reorders the isinstance chain in Session._create_response_future (cassandra/cluster.py) so BoundStatement is checked before SimpleStatement. BoundStatement and SimpleStatement are sibling classes under Statement (no subclass relationship), so the reorder changes dispatch order only — no behavioral change.

For prepared-statement workloads (the perf-critical case, since BoundStatement is produced by PreparedStatement.bind()), BoundStatement is the most common query type reaching this dispatch, so checking it first avoids one wasted isinstance() call per query on the hot path.

A dedicated micro-benchmark, benchmarks/micro/bench_isinstance_dispatch.py, simulates a representative workload mix (80% BoundStatement, 15% SimpleStatement, 5% other) and measures dispatch order in isolation:

SimpleStatement first: 32.8 ns/dispatch
BoundStatement first:  23.2 ns/dispatch
Speedup: ~1.4-1.7x (~10-15 ns/dispatch saved)

Run it yourself with python benchmarks/micro/bench_isinstance_dispatch.py from the repository root.

Tests

All 645 unit tests pass (43 skipped), matching the origin/master baseline.

Follow-up commit: reorder isinstance chain in _create_response_future

Commit: 40f45ecf5perf: reorder isinstance chain to check BoundStatement first in _create_response_future

Change

Swapped the isinstance check order so BoundStatement is checked before SimpleStatement in the _create_response_future dispatch chain. For prepared-statement workloads (the perf-critical case), this saves one wasted isinstance() call per dispatch.

BoundStatement and SimpleStatement are sibling classes under Statement — no subclass relationship — so reorder is safe with no behavioral change.

Benchmark results (benchmarks/bench_isinstance_dispatch.py)

Simulated workload mix: 80% BoundStatement, 15% SimpleStatement, 5% other:

Python 3.14.3
SimpleStatement first: 32.8 ns/dispatch
BoundStatement first:  23.2 ns/dispatch
Speedup: ~1.4–1.7x (~10–15 ns/dispatch saved)

Tests

607 unit tests passed, 0 failures.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change checks BoundStatement before SimpleStatement during request construction. It adds a benchmark for both dispatch orders. ResponseFuture now preserves class defaults for absent optional values, captures the request keyspace, and uses that keyspace for tablet caching. A regression test verifies caching after the session keyspace changes.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Refactor

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to e377c

cassandra/c_shard_info.pyx:42

  • This portability rewrite is unrelated to the ResponseFuture/dispatch optimization described by the PR, and the summary does not mention that shard-routing arithmetic is being changed. Please either document and justify this additional scope (including the Windows-build motivation) or move it to a separate PR so reviewers and release notes do not miss a correctness-sensitive routing change.
        # Compute (biased_token * shards_count) >> 64, i.e. the high 64 bits of the
        # 64x32-bit product, using only 64-bit arithmetic. This used to rely on the
        # GCC/Clang-only __uint128_t extension type, which MSVC does not support at
        # all (no 128-bit integer type), causing a compile error on Windows builds.

cassandra/c_shard_info.pyx:49

  • The new multiply-high implementation has no boundary/equivalence coverage. The existing shard-aware test checks only five application tokens, so carry boundaries and token extrema could regress shard routing unnoticed. Add a parametrized test that imports the C implementation directly and compares it with _ShardingInfo for INT64_MIN, INT64_MAX, low-half carry boundaries, multiple shard counts, and sharding_ignore_msb values.
        cdef uint64_t low_product = (biased_token & <uint64_t>UINT32_MAX) * shards_count
        cdef uint64_t carry = low_product >> 32
        cdef uint64_t mid = (biased_token >> 32) * shards_count + carry
        cdef int shardId = <int>(mid >> 32);

Make the benchmark order- and warm-up-resistant.

The query list is grouped by type, and dispatch_simple_first is always timed before dispatch_bound_first in a single run. For a 10–15 ns claim, branch prediction and warm-up effects can materially skew the result. Use a deterministic shuffled mix plus repeated measurements with alternating function order, then report a median or paired result.

  • This stand-in does not match the production graph-statement hierarchy: SimpleGraphStatement also subclasses SimpleStatement (cassandra/datastax/graph/query.py:182). In production, that 1% workload slice is therefore accepted by the SimpleStatement check and pays one additional check after this PR's reorder; here it falls through four checks in both variants, slightly overstating the measured speedup. Please mirror the real hierarchy (or benchmark the real type).

While investigating this PR's Windows wheel-build CI failure, I found and fixed a pre-existing, unrelated bug: cassandra/c_shard_info.pyx used __uint128_t (a GCC/Clang-only 128-bit integer builtin) in the sharding hash computation, which MSVC doesn't support, causing error C2065: '__uint128_t': undeclared identifier on Windows.

That fix had nothing to do with this PR's actual purpose (ResponseFuture.__init__ cleanup), so it's been moved out into its own standalone PR: #950. This branch has been rebased/amended to no longer touch cassandra/c_shard_info.pyx at all — it now only contains the ResponseFuture/cassandra/cluster.py changes plus the accompanying micro-benchmark, and has been re-pushed accordingly.

Note: this PR's Windows wheel-build CI job will likely go back to failing on the __uint128_t issue until #950 (or an equivalent fix) lands separately — that's expected, since it's a pre-existing bug unrelated to the changes here (similar in spirit to how the NLB test flakiness is tracked via #948/#949 rather than being every PR's problem to fix).

…d_info.pyx

cassandra/c_shard_info.pyx computed the high 64 bits of a 64x32-bit product
by casting biased_token to `__uint128_t` and shifting right by 64:

    cdef int shardId = (<__uint128_t>biased_token * self.shards_count) >> 64;

`__uint128_t` is a GCC/Clang compiler-builtin extension type, not standard
C/C++ and not part of Cython's own type system. MSVC has no 128-bit integer
type at all, so it treats `__uint128_t` as an undeclared identifier and fails
with cascading syntax errors (C2065/C2146/C2059) in the generated
c_shard_info.c. This breaks Windows wheel builds for any change that
triggers a rebuild of this extension.

Replaced it with a portable multiply-high decomposition that splits the
64x32-bit multiplication into 32-bit halves, using only 64-bit arithmetic
(uint64_t), matching the existing pure-Python fallback already implemented
in cassandra/shard_info.py. This compiles identically on GCC, Clang, and
MSVC, and is numerically identical to the previous 128-bit computation
(verified against 2M+ random inputs, cross-checked against both the pure
-Python fallback and the actual compiled extension).

Found while investigating an unrelated Windows CI failure on PR scylladb#806; the
bug is pre-existing and independent of that PR's changes, so it's fixed
here as its own standalone commit rather than folded into that PR.

Cache tablet payloads under the request-time keyspace.

_compute_tablet_version_block() uses query.keyspace or self.keyspace at Line 3173. This code re-reads self.session.keyspace after the response. If Session._set_keyspace_for_all_pools() changes that value at Line 3529 while the request is in flight, a payload for keyspace A can be cached under keyspace B. Store the effective keyspace on ResponseFuture during construction and use that snapshot here.

Proposed fix
 # During ResponseFuture construction
+        self._effective_keyspace = query.keyspace or session.keyspace if query is not None else None

 # In _cache_tablet_from_payload
-        keyspace = self.query.keyspace or self.session.keyspace
+        keyspace = self._effective_keyspace

Remove the RetryPolicy() call from the default argument.

Ruff B008 flags this expression. The object is created at import time and shared by all ResponseFuture instances. Use a module-level default singleton to preserve the current behavior without the warning, or create a policy inside __init__ when each future needs a separate instance.

(uint64_t), matching the existing pure-Python fallback already implemented
in cassandra/shard_info.py. This compiles identically on GCC, Clang, and
MSVC, and is numerically identical to the previous 128-bit computation
(verified against 2M+ random inputs, cross-checked against both the pure
-Python fallback and the actual compiled extension).

Found while investigating an unrelated Windows CI failure on PR #806; the
bug is pre-existing and independent of that PR's changes, so it's fixed
here as its own standalone commit rather than folded into that PR.

- Line 4864: Update ResponseFuture keyspace initialization to handle query=None
before accessing query.keyspace, falling back to session.keyspace for null
queries while preserving query.keyspace precedence when present. Add a
regression test covering Session.prepare or Session.prepare_on_all_hosts with a
null query.

…in ResponseFuture

- Remove 3 dead class attributes (default_timeout, _profile_manager,
  _warned_timeout) that were never read or written on ResponseFuture
- Add prepared_statement and _continuous_paging_state as class-level
  defaults (both None), skip __init__ assignment when parameter is None
- Conditionalize _metrics and _host assignments: only set when non-None
- Saves 4 STORE_ATTR operations per query on the common path (simple
  statements, no metrics, no host targeting, no continuous paging)

…te_response_future

For prepared-statement workloads (the perf-critical case), BoundStatement
is the most common query type reaching _create_response_future. Checking
it before SimpleStatement saves one wasted isinstance() call per dispatch.

Benchmark (80% BoundStatement, 15% SimpleStatement, 5% other):
  SimpleStatement first: 32.8 ns/dispatch
  BoundStatement first:  23.2 ns/dispatch
  Speedup: ~1.4-1.7x (~10-15 ns/dispatch saved)
