# Description
@maxim-uvarov did a ton of research and work with the dply-rs author and
ritchie from polars and found out that the allocator matters on macos
and it seems to be what was messing up the performance of polars plugin.
ritchie suggested to use jemalloc but i switched it to mimalloc to match
nushell and it seems to run better.
## Before (default allocator)
note - using 1..10 vs 1..100 since it takes so long. also notice how
high the `max` timings are compared to mimalloc below.
```nushell
❯ 1..10 | each {timeit {polars open Data7602DescendingYearOrder.csv | polars group-by year | polars agg (polars col geo_count | polars sum) | polars collect | null}} | | {mean: ($in | math avg), min: ($in | math min), max: ($in | math max), stddev: ($in | into int | into float | math stddev | into int | $'($in)ns' | into duration)}

## After (using jemalloc - just for comparison)
```nushell

This reverts commit 68adc4657f.
# Description
Reverts the lazyframe refactor (#12669) for the next release, since
there are still a few lingering issues. This temporarily solves #12863
and #12828. After the release, the lazyframes can be added back and
cleaned up.
# Description
Removes the old `nu-cmd-dataframe` crate in favor of the polars plugin.
As such, this PR also removes the `dataframe` feature, related CI, and
full releases of nushell.
# Description
This PR adds a few functions to `Span` for merging spans together:
- `Span::append`: merges two spans that are known to be in order.
- `Span::concat`: returns a span that encompasses all the spans in a
slice. The spans must be in order.
- `Span::merge`: merges two spans (no order necessary).
- `Span::merge_many`: merges an iterator of spans into a single span (no
order necessary).
These are meant to replace the free-standing `nu_protocol::span`
function.
The spans in a `LiteCommand` (the `parts`) should always be in order
based on the lite parser and lexer. So, the parser code sees the most
usage of `Span::append` and `Span::concat` where the order is known. In
other code areas, `Span::merge` and `Span::merge_many` are used since
the order between spans is often not known.
# Description
This PR introduces a `ByteStream` type which is a `Read`-able stream of
bytes. Internally, it has an enum over three different byte stream
sources:
```rust
pub enum ByteStreamSource {
Read(Box<dyn Read + Send + 'static>),
File(File),
Child(ChildProcess),
}
```
This is in comparison to the current `RawStream` type, which is an
`Iterator<Item = Vec<u8>>` and has to allocate for each read chunk.
Currently, `PipelineData::ExternalStream` serves a weird dual role where
it is either external command output or a wrapper around `RawStream`.
`ByteStream` makes this distinction more clear (via `ByteStreamSource`)
and replaces `PipelineData::ExternalStream` in this PR:
```rust
pub enum PipelineData {
Empty,
Value(Value, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
ListStream(ListStream, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
ByteStream(ByteStream, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
}
```
The PR is relatively large, but a decent amount of it is just repetitive
changes.
This PR fixes#7017, fixes#10763, and fixes#12369.
This PR also improves performance when piping external commands. Nushell
should, in most cases, have competitive pipeline throughput compared to,
e.g., bash.
| Command | Before (MB/s) | After (MB/s) | Bash (MB/s) |
| -------------------------------------------------- | -------------:|
------------:| -----------:|
| `throughput \| rg 'x'` | 3059 | 3744 | 3739 |
| `throughput \| nu --testbin relay o> /dev/null` | 3508 | 8087 | 8136 |
# User-Facing Changes
- This is a breaking change for the plugin communication protocol,
because the `ExternalStreamInfo` was replaced with `ByteStreamInfo`.
Plugins now only have to deal with a single input stream, as opposed to
the previous three streams: stdout, stderr, and exit code.
- The output of `describe` has been changed for external/byte streams.
- Temporary breaking change: `bytes starts-with` no longer works with
byte streams. This is to keep the PR smaller, and `bytes ends-with`
already does not work on byte streams.
- If a process core dumped, then instead of having a `Value::Error` in
the `exit_code` column of the output returned from `complete`, it now is
a `Value::Int` with the negation of the signal number.
# After Submitting
- Update docs and book as necessary
- Release notes (e.g., plugin protocol changes)
- Adapt/convert commands to work with byte streams (high priority is
`str length`, `bytes starts-with`, and maybe `bytes ends-with`).
- Refactor the `tee` code, Devyn has already done some work on this.

Fix for #12730
All of the code expected a list of floats, but the syntax shape expected
a table. Resolved by changing the syntax shape to list of floats.
cc: @maxim-uvarov
This moves to predominantly supporting only lazy dataframes for most
operations. It removes a lot of the type conversion between lazy and
eager dataframes based on what was inputted into the command.
For the most part the changes will mean:
* You will need to run `polars collect` after performing operations
* The into-lazy command has been removed as it is redundant.
* When opening files a lazy frame will be outputted by default if the
reader supports lazy frames

# Description
I added some more tests to our mighty `polars` ~~, yet I don't know how
to add expected results in some of them. I would like to ask for help.~~
~~My experiments are in the last commit: [polars:
experiments](f7e5e72019).
Without those experiments `cargo test` goes well.~~
UPD. I moved out my unsuccessful test experiments into a separate
[branch](https://github.com/maxim-uvarov/nushell/blob/polars-tests-broken2/).
So, this branch seems ready for a merge.
@ayax79, maybe you'll find time for me please? It's not urgent for sure.
P.S. I'm very new to git. Please feel free to give me any suggestions on
how I should use it better
# Description
I would like to help with `polars` plugin development and add tests to
all the `polars` command's existing params.
Since I have never written any lines of Rust, even though the task of
creating tests is relatively simple, I would like to ask for feedback to
ensure I did everything correctly here.
# Description
Continuing from #12568, this PR further reduces the size of `Expr` from
64 to 40 bytes. It also reduces `Expression` from 128 to 96 bytes and
`Type` from 32 to 24 bytes.
This was accomplished by:
- for `Expr` with multiple fields (e.g., `Expr::Thing(A, B, C)`),
merging the fields into new AST struct types and then boxing this struct
(e.g. `Expr::Thing(Box<ABC>)`).
- replacing `Vec<T>` with `Box<[T]>` in multiple places. `Expr`s and
`Expression`s should rarely be mutated, if at all, so this optimization
makes sense.
By reducing the size of these types, I didn't notice a large performance
improvement (at least compared to #12568). But this PR does reduce the
memory usage of nushell. My config is somewhat light so I only noticed a
difference of 1.4MiB (38.9MiB vs 37.5MiB).

# Description
This pull request provides three new commands:
`polars store-ls` - moved from `polars ls`. It provides the list of all
object stored in the plugin cache
`polars store-rm` - deletes a cached object
`polars store-get` - gets an object from the cache.
The addition of `polars store-get` required adding a reference_count to
cached entries. `polars get` is the only command that will increment
this value. `polars rm` will remove the value despite it's count. Calls
to PolarsPlugin::custom_value_dropped will decrement the value.
The prefix store- was chosen due to there already being a `polars cache`
command. These commands were not made sub-commands as there isn't a way
to display help for sub commands in plugins (e.g. `polars store`
displaying help) and I felt the store- seemed fine anyways.
The output of `polars store-ls` now shows the reference count for each
object.
# User-Facing Changes
polars ls has now moved to polars store-ls

# Description
The polars dtype command is largerly redundant since the introduction of
the schema command. The schema command also has the added benefit that
it's output can be used as a parameter to other schema commands:
```nushell
[[a b]; [5 6] [5 7]] | polars into-df -s ($df | polars schema
```
# User-Facing Changes
`polars dtypes` has been removed. Users should use `polars schema`
instead.

I had previously changed NuLazyFrame::collect to set the NuDataFrame's
from_lazy field to false to prevent conversion back to a lazy frame. It
appears there are cases where this should happen. Instead, I am only
setting from_lazy=false inside the `polars collect` command.

# Description
This is just some cleanup. I moved to_pipeline_data and to_cache_value
to the CustomValueSupport trait, where I should've put them to begin

# Description
@maxim-uvarov discovered the following error:
```
> [[a b]; [6 2] [1 4] [4 1]] | polars into-lazy | polars sort-by a | polars unique --subset [a]
Error: × Error using as series
╭─[entry #1:1:68]
1 │ [[a b]; [6 2] [1 4] [4 1]] | polars into-lazy | polars sort-by a | polars unique --subset [a]
· ──────┬──────
· ╰── dataframe has more than one column
╰────
```
During investigation, I discovered the root cause was that the lazy frame was incorrectly converted back to a eager dataframe. In order to keep this from happening, I explicitly set that the dataframe did not come from an eager frame. This causes the conversion logic to not attempt to convert the dataframe later in the pipeline.

# Description
This adds a `SharedCow` type as a transparent copy-on-write pointer that
clones to unique on mutate.
As an initial test, the `Record` within `Value::Record` is shared.
There are some pretty big wins for performance. I'll post benchmark
results in a comment. The biggest winner is nested access, as that would
have cloned the records for each cell path follow before and it doesn't
have to anymore.
The reusability of the `SharedCow` type is nice and I think it could be
used to clean up the previous work I did with `Arc` in `EngineState`.
It's meant to be a mostly transparent clone-on-write that just clones on
`.to_mut()` or `.into_owned()` if there are actually multiple
references, but avoids cloning if the reference is unique.

When calling `to-lazy` back to back in a pipeline, an error should not
occur:
```

This pull request ensures that custom value's of NuLazyFrameCustomValue are properly converted when passed in.

# Description
@maxim-uvarov discovered an issue with the current implementation. When
executing [[index a]; [1 1]] | polars into-df, a plugin_failed_to_decode
error occurs. This happens because a Record is created with two columns
named "index" as an index column is added during conversion. This pull
request addresses the problem by not adding an index column if there is
already a column named "index" in the dataframe.

# Description
All polars commands that output a file were not handling relative paths
correctly.
A command like
``` [[a b]; [6 2] [1 4] [4 1]] | polars into-df | polars to-parquet foo.json```
was outputting the foo.json to the directory of the plugin executable.
This pull request pulls in nu-path and using it for resolving the file paths.

`polars ls` is already different that `dfr ls`. Currently it just shows
the cache key, columns, rows, and type. I have added:
- creation time
- size
- span contents
- span start and end
