Cap topK in TestCuVSGaps at the number of documents with vectors by bdice · Pull Request #2799 · NVIDIA/cuvs

bdice · 2026-10-10T18:58:12Z

Caps topK in TestCuVSGaps.testVectorSearchWithAlternatingDocuments at the number of documents with vectors. Only even-numbered documents have vectors, so the test failed deterministically for seeds that index fewer vectors than topK (e.g. BBE2A1CCC7772A7F: 53 vectors, topK 59). #2709 fixed the same issue for the HNSW gaps test.

This PR originally also fixed the filtering rate in multi-partition CAGRA search (#2736). #2582 has since fixed that on main, and the regression test moved to #2967. Reproduction and verification: #2785 (see #2783).

Single-partition CAGRA search computes the filtering rate from the filter bitset when the caller does not set one, and MULTI_CTA enlarges itopk_size for selective filters accordingly. The multi-partition search skipped this, so a selective per-partition filter searched with the unadjusted itopk_size and could return fewer than k neighbors although every partition held more than k rows passing the filter. cuvs-lucene then routes the query back to per-segment search, which made TestMultiSegmentGPUFilterConcurrency flaky. Derive the rate from the per-partition bitsets, sizing the shared plan for the most selective partition that accepts any row. Also limit topK in TestCuVSGaps.testVectorSearchWithAlternatingDocuments to the number of documents that have vectors.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

Tests
- Added coverage for filtered CAGRA searches across multiple partitions, including checks for valid results and recall against exact nearest neighbors.
- Updated vector-search test coverage to keep the requested result count within the number of documents that contain vectors.

The changes add a filtered multi-partition CAGRA search test and adjust a Lucene test to limit topK to the number of documents with vectors.

Changes: CAGRA multi-partition filtering

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Build filtered partitions `cpp/tests/neighbors/ann_cagra/test_float_uint32_t.cu`	The test creates four 500-row partitions and filters each partition to every 24th row.
Run filtered multi-partition search `cpp/tests/neighbors/ann_cagra/test_float_uint32_t.cu`	The helper runs MULTI_CTA search with `k=10`, `itopk_size=10`, the supplied filtering rate, and the partition filters.
Validate search results `cpp/tests/neighbors/ann_cagra/test_float_uint32_t.cu`	The test compares results with exact top-10 neighbors among retained rows. It checks that each query has 10 valid results and that recall is at least 0.95.

Lucene vector-search test

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Bound topK by available vectors `java/cuvs-lucene/src/test/java/com/nvidia/cuvs/lucene/TestCuVSGaps.java`	The test calculates the number of documents with vectors and caps its randomly selected topK at that count.

Explanation

For [#2736], the reviewed head computes the filtering rate from each partition bitset and sizes the shared MULTI_CTA plan for the most selective partition with accepted rows. The added AnnCagraMultiPartition.SelectiveFilterReturnsKNeighbors test checks that selective multi-partition searches return k neighbors and maintain recall. This addresses the required complete multi-partition GPU results.

Explanation

The change to TestCuVSGaps.testVectorSearchWithAlternatingDocuments caps topK at the number of vector documents. This change addresses a separate alternating-document test failure and has no demonstrated connection to [#2736].

This code is copy of the single-cta branch, right? Could you please put this in a separate helper function instead?

Good catch — done. I added a small detail::clamp_filtering_rate helper in cagra.cuh and used it in the single-partition bitset path, the multi-partition path, and the udf_filter path, which had the same clamp; how each path derives the rate stays where it is, since the multi-partition one takes a max over per-partition counts.

Workstream C of the flaky-CI sweep (#2783). The cuvs-lucene "missing results" flakes were the most frequent group in the 5-week window (~20 hits, amd64 and arm64). The hits after #2612 are all TestMultiSegmentGPUFilterConcurrency.filteredSearchesTakeTheMultiPartitionGpuPath failing with expected:<24> but was:<23>: a filtered multi-partition CAGRA search returns fewer than k hits, so the query leaves the GPU path (test, fallback).

Root cause: the multi-partition cagra::search overload never derived filtering_rate from the partition bitsets, so it stayed at the default -1 and MULTI_CTA never enlarged itopk_size for a selective filter. Single-partition bitset search does this (cagra.cuh).
Fix: compute the rate per partition, size the shared plan for the most selective partition that still accepts a row, and apply the same 0.999 cap as the single-partition path.
Evidence (reproducer, verification, on #2785): short filtered multi-partition queries went from 9/18,432 (run 38062855918) to 0/73,728 (run 38065997981). Replaying the failing CI seeds went from 9/36 failures to 0/128.
The TestCuVSGaps change is a separate, deterministic test bug (see the inline comment).
Out of scope: SINGLE_CTA never adjusts itopk_size for the filtering rate, in single-partition search either. AUTO only picks SINGLE_CTA here when there are at least 2x SM-count (query, partition) CTAs.

#2582 (now merged) resolved the core failure mode that this PR was addressing. All that remained was two tests: a regression test for C++ and a fix for Java. I have split up this work so that this PR now contains the Java fix and #2967 contains the C++ regression test.

Use mixed partition selectivity in this regression fixture.

The fixture applies the same removed-row list to every partition. The aggregate rate therefore equals the most-selective partition's rate, so the test passes even if shared MULTI_CTA sizing uses the aggregate rate.

Create separate per-partition bitsets, such as keep_every = 24 for one partition and keep_every = 2 for the others. Keep each device-side removed-row buffer alive, and validate with the selected partition's keep_every. This makes the aggregate and most-selective rates differ and allows the test to detect incorrect shared-plan sizing.
