that host_read_mutex() is held while scheduling batches only when
serialize_submissions is true; preserve the existing implementation behavior,
including the unlocked path when the flag is false.
- Around line 250-251: Add blocking-datasource unit-test coverage for both
values of serialize_submissions, verifying submission behavior with
serialization enabled and disabled. Add a benchmark that measures both modes
using the existing parquet I/O test and benchmark conventions.

Can't be after stream and mr. So this pretty much has to be a breaking change.
Is this already used outside of cudf, i.e. do we need to overload + deprecate?

Dang it, I forgot about that. 😞

I think we can avoid the deprecation by adding overloads.
I think we will need to deprecate. It's fine.

Add Python binding tests and a benchmark for the submission policy.
Test both IOSubmissionPolicy values through fetch_byte_ranges_to_device. Verify that the wrapper forwards the selected value to libcudf. Add a benchmark that measures the policy path that this API exposes.
As per coding guidelines, “Add unit tests and unit benchmarks.”

This is surprising to me that serialization would yield better E2E throughput. Sure, pipelining might look better with nonoverlapping regions, but is there really enough contention for I/O or copy bandwidth to reduce E2E query throughput for many concurrent threads/streams? Do we have hard numbers on this that would justify serialization in certain cases? Is it true for both cloud and NVMe reads? If we do see reductions in throughput, are those influenced by I/O parameters like read sizes, thread pool sizes, etc? Inserting a mutex seems like the last thing we’d want to do, my naive expectation with no data is that we should rip out mutexes that are not required for thread safety / correctness, and instead we should optimize default parameters (in libcudf or engines using it) for concurrency instead.

It might depend entirely on the datasource, whether it's a local disk drive (SSDs are designed to be performant with high queue depths) or a resource across the network or on the cloud (bottlenecked, probably want serial so can decode the first file while you wait for the next read). It seems like this kind of decision belongs in the datasource itself, not the reader. @mhaseeb123

Yes, this optimization was based on data, see #22550 (comment) and #22529 (comment). I doubt we tested the full range of cases that you're describing though. On the other hand, in the long run this discussion may be moot since hybrid scan will totally change who is managing the byte reads anyway.

In addition to what Vyas mentioned, both readers have been using these locking utils for a few months (even in Velox) for multithreaded cases and have seen mild speedups.
In hindsight, we should have made the regular reader use them without locking to begin with (unmodified behavior) but our microbenchmarks showed improvements with locking.
Why these APIs exist: Added strictly for libcudf-use across hybrid scan tests, benchmarks, examples as hybrid scan asks us to bring your own data feeder.
Unintended purpose: Velox's data feeder just uses these APis and the benchmarks show modest improvement with locking vs without, in multi-driver case in facebookincubator/velox#18602

Description
Closes #23799
This PR adds a boolean flag in
parquet_io_utilsto enable serializing (via mutex) I/O submission from callers. The boolean flag defaults totrueenabling serialization for better pipelining between IO and compute.Parquet reader path (libcudf internal) now passes a
falseto this flag reverting its old behavior. Hybrid scan paths remain unchanged.Checklist
