c-questdb-client PR #186 moved every raw-bytes UUID boundary to the canonical RFC 4122 big-endian order, leaving the byte-swap into QWP wire order (lo half LE, then hi half LE) to the native client. The submodule pointer already moved in the previous commit, so three paths in this repo were producing or reading reversed UUIDs: object-dtype DataFrame columns, `uuid.UUID` query binds, and the pyarrow-free `to_pandas` decoder. Each now passes or reads `UUID.bytes` directly. `Buffer.row()` is unaffected: `line_sender_buffer_column_uuid` still takes the two wire-order halves, and the row and DataFrame paths still put identical bytes on the wire. The same PR stopped inferring a column type from a binary column's width. A `FixedSizeBinary(16)` is a UUID only when the schema claims it so — through the `arrow.uuid` extension name or `questdb.column_type` field metadata — and everything else is opaque bytes bound for a BINARY column. The pandas planner now agrees: it keeps the extension name when it unwraps the storage type, and routes unclaimed fixed-size columns to the Arrow passthrough. Its LONG256 target goes away entirely, because the only claim for one is field metadata that pyarrow drops when it exports a single column, so no input could ever have selected it. Claiming a type explicitly is what `schema_overrides` is for, and it gains `'uuid'` and `'long256'` kinds. They accept variable-length binary columns as well as fixed-size ones, which is the only way a polars frame can reach either type, since polars has no fixed-size binary dtype. Test changes follow the same split. The system tests drop their UUID-to-wire helper and compare against `UUID.bytes`; the fixed-size round-trips now claim their type; and the old "other widths are rejected" test becomes "other widths land as BINARY". New coverage pins the wire-order swap, verbatim LONG256 forwarding, a wrong-width claim failing, an unclaimed 16-byte column going out as BINARY, a polars UUID claim, and the `to_pandas` UUID decoder, which had none.

The test lets the server auto-create the table, which pins the wire type the client actually sent, but auto-create also names the designated column `timestamp` rather than `ts`. Reading it back with `ORDER BY ts` failed with "Invalid column: ts", so the whole integration suite went red on every platform. Order by `timestamp` instead, following the uint-widening tests on the same page. Ordering by `v` would be the other convention here, but BINARY is not an orderable type. Also assert the egress column type, so the test fails loudly if the column ever stops being BINARY rather than only when the bytes differ.

The changelog for 5.0.1 claims that polars `Object` columns are rejected with a clear error, but that rejection lived only in `questdb-rs/src/ingress/polars.rs`, which is the Rust API. The Python client never calls it. A polars frame reaches the server through `__arrow_c_stream__`, and polars exports an `Object` column as `fixed_size_binary(8)` whose payload is the in-process address of each Python object. Until this pull request such a column was refused further down, because a fixed-size binary column of a width other than 16 or 32 had no route. The updated C client now routes any fixed-size binary width to BINARY, so those eight-byte addresses were being accepted and stored. The values differ on every run and mean nothing outside the process that produced them, and the user saw no error at all. `_reject_polars_object_columns` walks the schema of the polars frame once, after a `LazyFrame` has been collected and before the Arrow export, and raises QuestDBError(BadDataFrame): Bad column 'o': polars Object dtype is not supported; cast it to a supported dtype before ingest. The wording follows the message the Rust polars API already produces. The new test in `test/test_client_capsule_path.py` also asserts that the mock server received no payload, so the frame is stopped before anything goes on the wire.

Commit d268a7d raised the server requirement for the seven QWP-only column types from 9.4.0 and 9.4.1 to QuestDB 10, but it changed only `CHANGELOG.rst`, `_client.pyi` and `_client.pyx`. No test moved with it. The integration tests that exercise those types were guarded only by `_require_qwp_ws()`, which checks `FIRST_QWP_WS_RELEASE = (9, 4, 3)`. The "test vs released" CI leg downloads `QUESTDB_VERSION = '9.4.3'` and runs with `TEST_QUESTDB_INTEGRATION=1`, so it would run those tests against a server the client documents as too old. They would either fail or wait for an acknowledgement that never arrives. This adds `FIRST_QWP_ROW_TYPES_RELEASE = (10, 0, 0)` and a `_require_qwp_row_types()` guard next to the existing `FIRST_ARRAY_RELEASE`, `FIRST_DECIMAL_RELEASE` and `FIRST_QWP_GAP_HALT_RELEASE` pattern, and points three tests at it: test/test.py TestQwpOnlyRowTypesIntegration test_round_trip_sentinels_precisions_and_mixed_precision_error test/system_test.py TestColumnIngressNarrowTypes test_unclaimed_fsb16_lands_as_binary test_fsb_other_size_lands_as_binary The first writes UUID, IPV4, BINARY, CHAR, DATE, LONG256 and GEOHASH values through `row()`, and creates a `GEOHASH(60b)` column. The other two send a BINARY column through the Arrow dataframe path, which the `QuestDB.dataframe` docstring also puts at QuestDB 10 or newer. The remaining tests in `TestColumnIngressNarrowTypes` keep the 9.4.3 guard; they cover UUID and LONG256 over the Arrow path, which worked before this pull request and still does. `TestColumnIngressNarrowTypes` carries its own copy of the guard, the same way it already carries its own copy of `_require_qwp_ws`.

`_bind_query_params` accepted any value that passed
`isinstance(value, uuid.UUID)` and passed `value.bytes` straight to
`qwp_reader_query_bind_uuid`, which does
copy_from_slice(from_raw_parts(value, 16))
and therefore reads exactly 16 bytes from the pointer it is given.
`uuid.UUID.bytes` is a property, so a subclass can return a shorter
buffer:
class ShortUuid(uuid.UUID):
@Property
def bytes(self):
return b'\x01'
Such an object constructs normally and passes the `isinstance` test.
The `cdef bytes` declaration checks the type of what comes back but not
its length, so the bind read 15 bytes past the end of the heap object.
Before this pull request the same code path built the pointer with
`to_bytes(8, ...)`, which raises `OverflowError` on a value that does
not fit, so the length could not go wrong. This restores an equivalent
guarantee with an explicit check that raises
ValueError: query bind $1: uuid.UUID.bytes returned 1 bytes,
expected 16.
A user has to write a misbehaving subclass to reach this, so ordinary
code never sees it, but the check costs nothing on the normal path.
The new case in `test_query_binds` uses exactly the subclass above.

`_numpy_uuid_chunk` is the pandas-side reader for a UUID result column. It used to read the two 64-bit halves with `memcpy` and call `UUID(int=(hi << 64) | lo)`. When the wire order changed to canonical RFC 4122 the call became `UUID(bytes=...)`, which takes the row verbatim and needs no arithmetic in our code. That reads well but costs more per row. CPython's `bytes=` branch checks the length, asserts the type and then calls `int.from_bytes`, so it builds exactly the same integer we were building, and on top of that we allocate a 16-byte `bytes` object for every row. Measured on this machine over 200000 iterations, `UUID(bytes=b)` takes about 570 ns and `UUID(int=...)` about 500 ns, so the switch cost roughly 70 ns per row, or about 13%, on the `to_pandas` decode path. The `to_arrow` path is unaffected: it hands out the Arrow capsule and never builds `UUID` objects. This restores the integer form. The two halves are still read with `memcpy`, and each is passed through `bswap64` because the bytes now arrive most-significant-first rather than in the little-endian halves QWP puts on the wire. `bswap64` already exists in `dataframe.pxi`, which is included into the same translation unit.

The BINARY cell writer for object-dtype DataFrame columns wraps `PyObject_GetBuffer` in except (BufferError, ValueError) as exc: so that a bad memoryview is reported as Bad column 'value' at row 1: invalid memoryview BINARY value: ... That handler never ran for the case it was written for. The two property reads that decide whether the cell is C-contiguous with one-byte items sat above the `try`, and a released memoryview refuses those reads first: ValueError: operation forbidden on released memoryview object The user therefore got that bare message with no column name and no row number, and the handler only ever fired for the rarer failures `PyObject_GetBuffer` itself reports. Nothing leaked; the buffer was never acquired, and the pool carried on. Both property reads now sit inside the same `try`. The contiguity rejection raises `QuestDBError`, which does not derive from `ValueError`, so it passes through the handler untouched and keeps its own wording. `Buffer.row` reads the same two properties without a wrapper, but it has no column name or row number to add, so a released view there still raises the interpreter's own `ValueError` and is left alone.

Commit 7069b58 stopped `ipaddress.IPv4Interface` cells from being ingested as bare addresses with their network prefix thrown away. It did that by narrowing two checks from isinstance(obj, _ipaddress.IPv4Address) to type(obj) is _ipaddress.IPv4Address `IPv4Interface` is a subclass of `IPv4Address`, so the narrower test does exclude it, but it excludes every other subclass too. A user class as plain as class MyAddr(ipaddress.IPv4Address): pass worked before that commit and afterwards failed with QuestDBError: Unsupported object column containing an object of type __main__.MyAddr Nothing in the changelog told users about that; it only mentions the `IPv4Interface` rejection. This adds `_is_ipv4_address`, which asks the question the code actually means: an `IPv4Address` that is not an `IPv4Interface`. `IPv4Interface` still falls through to the same two error messages as before, and every other subclass is accepted again. The predicate now backs all three places that decide whether a value is an IPV4 column value: the pandas planner's object-column sniff, the per-cell writer behind it, and `Buffer.row`. `Buffer.row` is new in this pull request, so it never rejected a subclass in a release, but it should answer the question the same way as the DataFrame path.

A pandas frame takes the Arrow columnar path only if every column is an
`ArrowDtype`. One plain numpy column sends the whole frame to the NumPy
planner instead, and on that planner there is no way at all to say that
a 32-byte column holds a LONG256:
* LONG256 has no Arrow extension type, the way UUID has `arrow.uuid`.
* Its only label is `questdb.column_type=long256` field metadata,
which pyarrow drops when pandas exports a column on its own.
* `schema_overrides` is refused on this path with
`UnsupportedDataFrameShapeError`.
Until this pull request the planner read a 32-byte width as LONG256 on
its own, which is exactly the guess the pull request set out to stop
making. With the guess gone, the column fell through to the opaque-bytes
route: writing into an existing LONG256 column failed as a type
mismatch, but writing into a table that did not exist yet auto-created a
BINARY column and stored the rows with no complaint. The user was told
nothing, and the changelog pointed at three ways to claim the type, none
of which work here.
The planner now refuses the column and says what to do instead:
Bad column 'l': a 32-byte fixed_size_binary column claims no QuestDB
type on this path. To store LONG256, claim the type with
`questdb.column_type=long256` field metadata or `schema_overrides={'l':
'long256'}`, both of which need QuestDB.dataframe() with a fully
Arrow-backed frame — every column an ArrowDtype, e.g.
df.convert_dtypes(dtype_backend="pyarrow"). To store the bytes as
BINARY, pass them as an object column of bytes.
Nobody loses a working case. Before the pull request the same column
became a LONG256, never a BINARY, so no released version sent 32-byte
columns as bytes through this planner.
16-byte columns are left alone. UUID can be claimed here, either by the
`arrow.uuid` extension type or by an object column of `uuid.UUID`, so an
unclaimed 16-byte column landing as BINARY is a real choice the user
can make differently.
The changelog and the `QuestDB.dataframe` docstring now both say this,
under the breaking change and under **LONG256** respectively, and the
docstring for `test_fsb32_rejected_by_row_ilp` is updated: that test now
stops one step earlier than its text described.

The unreleased section carried two `**Breaking:**` entries under a patch
heading. 5.0.0 shipped on 2026-07-27, so a patch number tells a reader
that upgrading is safe, and these two entries change how raw UUID bytes
are read and stop a fixed-size binary width from claiming a type on its
own. The heading is now 5.1.0.
The changelog is the only file to touch. Every other place that carries
the version — `pyproject.toml`, `setup.py`, `README.rst`,
`docs/conf.py`, `src/questdb/__init__.py`, `src/questdb/_client.pyx`
and `.bumpversion.toml` — still reads 5.0.0 and is rewritten by
`bump-my-version` at release time.
The same section also gains a note about the two breaking changes
meeting each other. A reader who hits the second one sees their UUID
column arrive as BINARY and repairs it with
`schema_overrides={'col': 'uuid'}`. That brings the column back but says
nothing about the byte order the first entry changed, and every 16-byte
string is a valid UUID, so a sender still emitting QuestDB's old wire
layout is accepted and stored with its two halves transposed. No error
is possible here, which is why it is written down instead.

`test_binary_memoryview_error_path_no_leak` measures RSS across a frame that is rejected on its last BINARY cell. Its docstring said the test covers releasing "every earlier borrowed BINARY cell while unwinding". That cannot happen. The `finally` that calls `PyBuffer_Release` sits inside the row loop, so at most one buffer is ever open; what the test really measures is the half-built native column and its offset table. The bad cell is `memoryview(b'invalid')[::2]`, which the itemsize and contiguity check rejects before `PyObject_GetBuffer` is ever called, so the test never reaches the acquire-and-release pair at all. The companion good-path test builds its frames once, outside the measured function, so a leaked buffer there is a fixed-size refcount leak that RSS cannot show either. Between them, `PyBuffer_Release` had no test. The docstring now describes what the test measures and points at the new `TestBinaryBufferRelease`, which asks the question directly. While any buffer is exported, the backing `bytearray` refuses to grow: BufferError: Existing exports of data: object cannot be re-sized so `bytearray.append` succeeding afterwards proves the client let go. Two cases: a frame that ingests normally, and a frame whose second cell is rejected, which is what exercises the `finally` rather than the end of the column. The detector was checked against a deliberate leak, standing in for a missing release with a ctypes buffer held over the same memoryview: `append` raises exactly as it should.

A DATE column has one way in: `DateMillis` through `Buffer.row`. The DataFrame paths have no DATE cell type, and `schema_overrides` has no `'date'` kind — the C ABI's override enum offers symbol, ipv4, char, geohash, not_symbol, uuid and long256, and nothing else. Adding one would be an upstream change to the client library, so this documents the asymmetry rather than closing it. Reading is not restricted the same way. `QuestDB.query` returns a DATE column as `datetime64[ms]`. Feeding that column straight back into `QuestDB.dataframe` is accepted, but it is sent as a TIMESTAMP with the values scaled to microseconds, so a query-then-DataFrame-then-ingest cycle silently changes the column type on any table it creates. I confirmed this against the mock server: a `datetime64[ms]` column goes out under the TIMESTAMP wire kind. Three places now say so: the `DateMillis` docstring in the extension and in the stub, a new **DATE** entry in the `QuestDB.dataframe` type list next to the other column types, and the changelog entry for the new `row()` types.

Worse, the message's first named remedy is impossible via the route it recommends in the same sentence. Verified:
pyarrow Table field meta : {b'questdb.column_type': b'long256'}
after to_pandas + convert_dtypes(pyarrow) : None
A user who follows "questdb.column_type=long256 field metadata … e.g. df.convert_dtypes(dtype_backend="pyarrow")" lands on the capsule path with no claim, i.e. silent BINARY. Only schema_overrides (or a genuine pyarrow Table) works. The message also omits that table_name_col is not None (_client.pyx:5961) independently forces the fallback, so the advice can be a no-op even when every column is already an ArrowDtype.
4. Protection is inverted relative to blast radius: unlabeled 16-byte columns degrade silently
In-diff. dataframe.pxi:1457-1460.
The rarer LONG256 case gets a loud error; the far more common UUID case silently becomes BINARY on both planners. Documented as breaking in CHANGELOG.rst, and the CHANGELOG's combined-repair warning is genuinely good — but an unlabeled fixed_size_binary(16) that auto-created a UUID column at BASE now auto-creates a BINARY one with no diagnostic, or fails at flush against an existing UUID table. The reasoning behind the 32-byte guard applies verbatim here. Worth a decision, not necessarily the same fix.
5. The PR's only direct PyBuffer_Release assertions never run
In-diff. test/test.py:137 imports TestCategoricalArrowLeak, TestPyobjColumnarLeak from test_dataframe_leaks — the new TestBinaryBufferRelease (test_dataframe_leaks.py:318) is not in that list, and CI runs only python3 proj.py test 1 (ci/run_tests_pipeline.yaml:89). Verified by collection:
TestBinaryBufferRelease collected: 0
test_dataframe_leaks.py:239-244 states outright that the RSS harness cannot detect a missing PyBuffer_Release — so this class is the only guard for the PR's new buffer-borrowing code, and it is dead in the gate and in CI. The code is correct today (release verified on the success and error paths of both sites); this is a guard that will not catch the regression it was written for. One-line fix: add it to the import.
6. Geohash(bits, precision) takes two same-typed positional ints, and "bits" means two different things
In-diff. _client.pyx:966; override wording at _client.pyx:5403, :5436, :6841.
Every other value wrapper in the package takes one positional argument. Both Geohash arguments are int, and a swap is silently accepted for low precisions — verified: Geohash(3,5) and Geohash(5,3) both construct and mean different things. Compounding it, schema_overrides names its precision argument bits (('geohash', bits)) while Geohash uses bits for the value. The native header gets this right — qwp_sender.h:1638 calls it "precision". A user reading ('geohash', 20) and then writing Geohash(20, …) has silently changed the meaning of 20.
Cheap total fix: make precision keyword-only, and/or rename Geohash(bits, …) → Geohash(value, …).
7. The canonical reference for the new types lives on a class that can never accept them, in the deprecated docs section
In-diff. _client.pyx:6815, :6827, :8220, :8998 all point at :func:`Buffer.row <questdb.ingress.Buffer.row>` , and docs/api.rst:165 documents Buffer only under "questdb.ingress (legacy)".
The public Buffer(protocol_version) constructor always builds an ILP buffer (_client.pyx:1245, _qwp = False); the only QWP constructor is the private Buffer._new_qwp. So the full type table, protocol restrictions and NULL-sentinel notes for a QWP-only feature now sit on a class that rejects all seven types, reachable only through the deprecated chapter. The anchor pre-existed on Sender.row alone; this PR adds three more references and relocates all the new documentation there.
8. The .pyi stubs drop every NULL-sentinel warning, and IDEs prefer the stub
In-diff. _client.pyi:345-383 vs the .pyx docstrings at _client.pyx:862-865, :893-895, :936-937, :960-961.
py.typed is shipped, so Pylance/PyCharm show the stub. The stub versions omit that INT64_MIN reads back as NULL, that the all-0x8000… LONG256 reads back as NULL, that CHAR code unit 0 is treated as null by some SQL operations, and that geohash precision is pinned per column. Every member is -> str: ... with no docstring, unlike the sibling TimestampNanos at _client.pyi:325-339 which documents each one. The silent-NULL sentinels are exactly the information whose absence causes silent data loss.
9. The four new wrappers get a generic "unsupported object" error on the DataFrame path
In-diff. dataframe.pxi:1553-1558. Verified:
Char/DateMillis/Long256/Geohash -> Bad column 'c': Unsupported object column containing an object of type questdb._client.Char.
uuid.UUID -> Column 'c' holds UUID objects, which are only supported on the columnar QuestDB.dataframe() path…
The natural progression is to prototype with row() + Char('x') per the CHANGELOG, then bulk-load. The message names no remedy — not schema_overrides={'c':'char'}, not ('geohash', bits), not that DATE has no columnar route. The PR wrote an excellent nine-line remedial message for the fsb32 case; this one costs four lines in the same style.
10. Measured per-row regression from code growth in an inlined cdef
In-diff. _client.pyx:1558-1620.
The dispatch order is right: the ten new branches sit at positions 10-18, after all nine pre-existing ones in unchanged order, and _is_ipv4_address is branch 14. A diff of the generated C for Buffer._column shows the first nine branches differ only in __PYX_ERR line numbers, so an int/float/str/datetime cell executes zero extra tests.
The cost is elsewhere. _column is cdef inline and is inlined into _row's loop; the new branches grew its generated body from 166 to 271 lines of C. Per-cell slope, isolated as (20-int-column row - 4-int-column row)/16, 100k rows/iteration, min of 25, five process runs, everything rebuilt in one toolchain:
HEAD 39.19 39.19 39.29 39.77 40.25 ns/cell (min 39.19)
BASE 37.71 37.75 37.97 38.00 38.82 ns/cell (min 37.71)
Non-overlapping in 5/5 runs, +1.5 ns/cell (+3.9%). End-to-end on a realistic row (3 symbols + int/float/str/datetime, 200k rows, min of 11): HEAD 532.2/532.5/533.6 vs BASE 526.9/528.0/528.7 ns/row, +5.3 ns/row (+1.0%).
Controls pinning the cause:
- Submodule bump ruled out - BASE-pyx + BASE submodule 37.75 vs BASE-pyx + HEAD submodule 37.71, i.e. 0 ns.
- The bloated error branch ruled out - moving the 18-element
', '.join(...)+raiseout-of-line gives 39.14, no recovery. - Moving the ten new branches into a non-inline
cdef void_int _column_extended(...)called from a singleelse:gives 38.19, recovering ~1.0 of the 1.5 ns.
1% per row, so blocking on it is a judgement call - but the recovery is mechanical.
Two related measurements, both clean: the per-row
try/finallyadded to_dataframe_columnar_build_bytes_pyobjcosts essentially nothing (the generated C opens it as a bare/*try:*/with no__Pyx_ExceptionSave; the exception machinery is confined to the exception-exit block), andPyBytes_CheckvsPyBytes_CheckExactis not measurable. The "about 70 ns more per row" claim in_numpy_uuid_chunk's comment is verified accurate - measured 60-68 ns, and conservative, since the real code would additionally allocate abytesper row. One avoidable cost, not a regression: the memoryview BINARY branch readspy_cell.itemsize/py_cell.c_contiguousas Python attributes before exporting; readingview.itemsize/view.ndimoff thePy_bufferafter the export measures 39.3 vs 67.4 ns/cell, -28 ns/cell for the same checks.
Minor
Geohashdocstring has the failure timing wrong._client.pyx:961-962says mixing precisions "fails when the buffer is flushed"; verified it raises fromrow()(QuestDBError: GEOHASH precision mismatch within column: pinned at 1 bits, got 5), buffer intact. The PR's own test comment says the correct thing.- The QuestDB-10 requirement is stated too broadly.
system_test.py:128-131says these types need QuestDB 10 "whichever API produced them", buttest_uuid_round_trip_via_fsb16(:4747) andtest_long256_round_trip(:5428) stayed on the 9.4.3 gate and pass there. Same over-broad claim inBuffer.row's docstring and the CHANGELOG. - Dead branches from the planner removal.
col_target_column_long256is now unassignable (absent from_DIRECT_META_TARGETS,_FIELD_TARGETS_QWPand_TARGET_TO_SOURCES) but still referenced at_client.pyx:3255,:4439,:4743and in_TARGET_NAMES(dataframe.pxi:144). It is the only entry in_TARGET_NAMESwith no source set, so if it is ever re-listed the unguarded_TARGET_TO_SOURCES[col.setup.target]atdataframe.pxi:1769yields a rawKeyErrorinstead of the intended message.

Verified apl.Objectcolumn survives.lazy(), so a full materialization happens before rejection.collect_schema()would decide it first. No leak — nothing native is allocated at that point.- 2-D memoryviews are silently flattened. Neither
_column_binarynor the DataFrame builder checksndim;memoryview(np.zeros((2,3), np.uint8))is accepted as 6 opaque bytes on both paths. Consistent between them, so arguably intended — but more likely a mistake than an intent. Fixes #138is missing. Issue row() cannot write UUID, IPv4, GEOHASH, LONG256, CHAR, DATE or BINARY columns #138 ("row() cannot write UUID, IPv4, GEOHASH, LONG256, CHAR, DATE or BINARY columns") is exactly this PR; merging won't close it.
Unresolved risk, not settled here: dataframe.pxi:1459 requires the arrow.uuid extension name, but pa.uuid() landed in pyarrow 18, while pyproject.toml:32 declares pyarrow>=10.0.1 and ci/pip_install_deps.py:103 installs pyarrow unpinned. So whether UUID ingestion works at all on the declared floor is untested by CI and unknown. I could not test it — pyarrow 17 has no cp314 wheels. Worth confirming before release, since on old pyarrow the NumPy planner would have no route to a UUID column and schema_overrides only exists on the capsule path.

Summary
Request changes. One admitted Critical: Long256 performs an out-of-bounds heap read and ships heap contents to the server, fixed by one line matching the guard this PR already added elsewhere. Findings 2–4 are the substantive rest — a documentation claim that is simply false in four places, and a guard whose protection is present on one path but not its sibling while its own remedy routes users into the failure it prevents.
The engineering underneath is strong: the C-ABI binding is exact against the new pin, the UUID byte-order flip is correct and consistent at all four boundaries (row, object-column, arrow.uuid, schema_overrides and the egress decode were each verified to agree on the wire), buffer atomicity holds on every rejection via the _set_marker/_rewind_to_marker pair, Py_buffer discipline is correct on all paths, and the wire-format tests are unusually rigorous.

A `fixed_size_binary(16)` column is only read as UUID when it carries
the `arrow.uuid` extension name. That name reaches the NumPy planner
only when pyarrow built an extension type object for the column, and
pyarrow registers the `arrow.uuid` canonical extension type from
version 18 on. `pyproject.toml` still allows `pyarrow>=10.0.1`, so on
pyarrow 10 through 17 nothing can label the column at all: every
16-byte column looks opaque and lands as BINARY with no warning. A
column the caller meant as UUID then auto-creates as BINARY and stays
that way.
The planner now refuses that shape, the same way it already refuses a
32-byte column that nothing can claim as LONG256:
Bad column 'u': a 16-byte fixed_size_binary column claims no
QuestDB type, and pyarrow 17.0.0 can label none: the `arrow.uuid`
extension type needs pyarrow 18 or newer. To store UUIDs, either
upgrade pyarrow and build the column as `pa.uuid()`, or pass the
values as an object-dtype column of `uuid.UUID`, or claim the type
with `schema_overrides={'u': 'uuid'}`, ...
On pyarrow 18 and newer the check never fires, so an unlabeled 16-byte
column keeps meaning opaque bytes and still lands as BINARY.
The docs and the code comment now also say which spelling of the claim
the planner can read. Writing `ARROW:extension:name` as plain field
metadata is not the same as building the column from `pa.uuid()`:
pyarrow leaves such a key on the field, so `pa.Table.from_arrays` over
a hand-built schema keeps the type as bare `fixed_size_binary(16)`,
and a pandas `ArrowDtype` carries a type with no field, so the
metadata never arrives. The same table imported over the C data
interface or Arrow IPC does get the extension type rebuilt from that
key, which is why identical metadata can route to UUID one way and to
BINARY the other. The `uuid.UUID` cell route and
`schema_overrides={'col': 'uuid'}` depend on neither the pyarrow
version nor the construction, and the error message names both.
Three tests cover this. One hides `pyarrow.uuid` to stand in for an
older build and checks both the refusal and the `uuid.UUID` route it
recommends. One checks that an unlabeled 16-byte column still goes
through as BINARY where `pa.uuid()` exists, so the guard is pinned to
the version condition alone. One records the pyarrow behavior that
`pa.Table.from_arrays` and a C-stream import disagree about the same
field metadata.

`Long256.__cinit__` validated the type and the range of `value`, then stored the result of `value.to_bytes(32, 'little')`. That result goes to `Buffer._column_long256`, which passes a bare pointer to the native client; the Rust side reads exactly 32 bytes from it with no length argument: let bytes: &[u8; 32] = &*(value as *const [u8; 32]); `to_bytes` is an ordinary method, so an `int` subclass can override it and return a `bytes` object of any length. Assigning that to the `cdef bytes` slot only got Cython's implicit `PyBytes_CheckExact` test, which turns away a `bytearray` or a `str` but admits `None` and a `bytes` of any width. So a two-byte return was stored and handed over. Such an object is 35 bytes in total on CPython, so the read went 29 bytes past it and put whatever followed on the wire, including a live heap pointer. Whether it also leaves the allocator's block depends on the size class and the platform. Calling `int.to_bytes` unbound sidesteps the override, so the result is always a `bytes` of exactly 32 and there is nothing left to validate. It also closes the range check above, which an `int` subclass can defeat by overriding `__lt__` and `__ge__`: such a value now raises `OverflowError` from the conversion rather than reaching the buffer. The query side still checks `uuid.UUID.bytes` after the fact in `egress.pxi` -- the value there comes from an attribute a caller can overwrite, so there is no unbound call to reach for.

`_dataframe_columnar_build_uuid_pyobj` copied a fixed 16 bytes out of whatever `(<object>cell).int.to_bytes(16, 'big')` handed back, with only `isinstance(cell, uuid.UUID)` in front of it. `UUID.int` is a slot, and `UUID.__init__` range-checks the integer it is given without converting it, so `object.__setattr__(u, 'int', ...)` puts an arbitrary object there on a plain `uuid.UUID` -- no subclass needed. An `int` subclass with an overridden `to_bytes` then chose how many bytes there were to copy. A zero-length return is 33 bytes in total on CPython, so the `memcpy` read past the object and wrote the bytes that followed it into the column. Three runs of the same frame produced three different values, each carrying a heap address that moved with ASLR. Calling `int.to_bytes` unbound sidesteps the override: whatever `.int` holds either yields the 16 bytes `UUID.bytes` would give, or raises. The descriptor is hoisted out of the loop, so the per-row cost drops by the bound-method object it no longer builds. `be_bytes` is declared `bytes` rather than `object`, which puts Cython's implicit type check back on the assignment. The same value already went out correctly through `row()`, which reads `.int` arithmetically, so the two paths disagreed on one cell with no error from either. The new test pins them together by sending a poisoned UUID and a clean one and comparing the recorded payloads. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The native client now counts all field metadata in a schema against one 64 MiB budget, charging a blob once for each field that references it, and no longer limits a single field's metadata to 1 MiB. polars stores every Enum category in its field's metadata, so frames with large Enum columns failed to ingest under the old limit. This moves the c-questdb-client submodule to that change and updates two tests. test_large_geohash_metadata_uses_the_native_importer now expects a 2 MiB field metadata blob to be accepted, with a geohash type claim inside it still applied. The two forged cases with an oversized key or value length in forged_arrow.py now expect Arrow schema root.children[0]: schema metadata exceeds 67108864 bytes Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A thread that closed a pooled sender lease while another thread was inside that lease's dataframe() got this error: close() can't be called from inside a call on this sender lease. The lease stayed open, and when it was later garbage-collected its buffered rows were discarded without a word. Leaving a `with db.sender()` block on one thread while a worker ran dataframe() on the same lease was enough to lose the block's rows. Each lease counts the calls in progress on it, so that close() can refuse to hand the lease back from inside one of its own calls, for example from a column conversion or an Arrow producer. The count belongs to the lease, not to a thread. That is correct only while no thread but the caller can see it, and every lease method ensured this by holding the lease's lock for its whole call, except dataframe() and PooledReader.execute(), which let go of the lock while their work ran. A close() from another thread then saw the count and refused as if it came from inside the call. Rather than tracking calls per thread, this writes down the contract the lock already implied and makes those two methods follow it: - dataframe() and execute() hold the lease's lock for the whole call. A close() from another thread during a load now waits for the load, then flushes the lease's rows and returns it. A close() from the caller's own code inside the call is still refused. Code running inside a call must not wait on another thread that uses the same lease, because that thread waits for the lock. - The PooledSender docstring (in the .pyx and the .pyi), the threading section of docs/sender.rst and the changelog now say that the QuestDB handle is the object to share between threads, that a sender lease or a query result is used by one thread at a time and may be handed between threads with synchronization, and that a reader lease stays on the thread that borrowed it. - A PooledSender collected without close() still cannot flush, but it now logs how many buffered rows it discarded through the questdb logger at WARNING instead of dropping them silently. - The review skill states the same contract, so that two threads calling into one of these objects at once counts as user error unless it crashes, corrupts memory or loses rows silently. In the concurrency grid, the two cells for closing a lease while another thread runs its dataframe() change from "refused" to "clean". The new tests check that such a close waits and then flushes the lease's row, and that a dropped lease logs the rows it discards while an empty or a closed one logs nothing. Both fail on the code before this change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Sender.dataframe() over ws:: and wss:: works from its own copy of the sender's connection options, made with line_sender_opts_clone(). That copy is not independent: it shares the sender's callback dispatcher threads, the ones that run the connection_listener and error_handler. Whichever copy is freed last stops those threads and waits for them to finish. Normally the sender itself still holds the threads when the call ends, so freeing the copy waits for nothing. If the sender was closed during the call, for example by a SIGTERM handler or by code that runs while the frame is being planned, the copy is the last owner, and freeing it waits for the dispatcher threads to exit. The call freed it while holding the GIL. A listener callback that was still running, such as one sending an alert about a dropped connection, needs the GIL to return, so the two waited on each other and the process hung. Ctrl-C could not break it, because the main thread was blocked inside native code with the GIL held. The call now releases the GIL while it frees the copy, the same way Sender._close() already frees the sender's own options. Every other place that can free the last owner of those threads already did so. The new test runs the scenario in a child process: a listener callback is still running when a load whose plan closes the sender finishes. Before this change the child hung and the test failed after its 60 second timeout; now it passes in about 1.5 seconds. The runner that starts the child is shared with the existing test for callbacks on dispatcher threads, in the new helper _run_in_child_interpreter().

dataframe() can refuse a 16- or 32-byte fixed_size_binary column with no type label when the DataFrame is not fully Arrow-backed. Its error then lists ways to store the column as UUID, LONG256 or BINARY. Those messages used internal wording, for example: a 16-byte fixed_size_binary column claims no QuestDB type on this path The 16-byte message also never said which byte order its UUID remedies expect. Version 5.0 stored such a column as UUID and read its bytes in QuestDB's wire layout: value.int.to_bytes(16, 'little') All three remedies now read standard RFC 4122 order. A 5.0 user who follows the message without changing how the bytes are produced stores every UUID reversed, and nothing reports an error. The message now names the expected order and the fix, reversing each value with b[::-1]. Both messages are rewritten in plain language: what the column holds, why the client does not guess its type, and each way to store it. The 32-byte message also says each value is read least significant byte first, as value.to_bytes(32, 'little') produces. Neither message names QuestDB.dataframe() as the only call that takes schema_overrides, since Sender.dataframe() over ws:: takes it too. A new test checks the byte-order advice and that the flip it names stores the intended UUID. The test that runs each named remedy now also runs the pa.Table and pa.RecordBatch field-metadata route for LONG256. The claim grid's stored error prefixes are refreshed.

Two groups of DataFrame error messages used internal terms that a user cannot act on. When schema_overrides is passed with a pandas DataFrame that has any column not backed by Arrow, dataframe() refuses it. The message said: schema_overrides requires the Arrow columnar path and that the input "falls back to the NumPy planner". It now says which inputs schema_overrides works on, lists up to five of the columns that are not Arrow-backed, and says how to convert the DataFrame. The check for whether a pandas dtype is Arrow-backed moves into its own helper so the message and the check that routes the frame use the same test. A DataFrame column holding questdb.Char, DateMillis, Long256 or Geohash values, which only row() accepts, is refused with advice on storing the column another way. That advice called the values "row-ingestion wrappers" and pointed at "a QWP/WebSocket columnar call". Each message now gives the exact code that converts the column, and names the dataframe() calls that can store the type. The old Long256 advice did not work as written. It said to put the bytes in a binary column of a fully Arrow-backed frame, but df.convert_dtypes(dtype_backend="pyarrow") leaves a column of bytes as object dtype, so schema_overrides was then refused. The new message converts the column explicitly with: .astype(pd.ArrowDtype(pa.binary(32))) The DateMillis message now also says that only calls that write a column at a time can store DATE. The wrapper test now takes the code from each message, runs it on the rejected frame, and checks the type the column arrives as. It also checks that Buffer.dataframe() and QuestDB.dataframe() give the same message. The schema_overrides test checks that the message names the column that is not Arrow-backed and leaves out the one that is. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Version 5.0's plain to_pandas() returned a GEOHASH column as an unsigned NumPy integer, with a df.attrs['questdb'] claim naming its precision, and writing such a frame back produced a GEOHASH column. This branch returns GEOHASH as signed integers and dropped a GEOHASH claim on an unsigned column. A frame saved from 5.0, or handed over by a 5.0 reader, was therefore written as INT or LONG with only a log warning, and an auto-created table got the wrong column type. Both dataframe() write routes carry GEOHASH only on a signed integer, and the native Arrow importer refuses unsigned columns. dataframe() now gives each unsigned column under a GEOHASH claim the signed type of the same width before it chooses between the Arrow and the NumPy route. The bits stay the same, so the server receives what 5.0 sent. A NumPy column becomes a view, and an Arrow-backed one a view of each chunk, so no data is copied. This also covers the uint16[pyarrow] columns that convert_dtypes(dtype_backend="pyarrow") makes out of such a frame. Two cases keep the unsigned type. A claim wider than the column, such as a uint32 claimed at 60 bits, is dropped, and the column goes out as its own type, so its values have to stay as they are. A column named in schema_overrides is left alone because the override outranks the claim, and 'ipv4' and 'char' need the unsigned type to apply. The changelog, the dataframe() docstring and the code comments no longer say an unsigned GEOHASH claim can never apply. New tests write every unsigned width as a NumPy and as an Arrow column, in mixed and fully Arrow frames, and compare each payload with the one a signed column holding the same bits produces. Another checks that schema_overrides still outranks the claim. The claim grid's six cells for a uint32 column claimed at 20 bits now expect GEOHASH with no warning, and the test that lists every number read from a claim gains a row for the new check.

to_pandas() attaches a note to the frame in df.attrs['questdb'] that records each column's QuestDB type, so dataframe() can restore UUID, IPV4 and the other types when the frame is written back. The note is a _RoundtripClaim, a dict that refuses edits and copies, so pandas can share one copy between derived frames instead of copying it once per column. Its __reduce__ pickled it as a _RoundtripClaim, so every pickle of such a frame named the private class questdb._client._RoundtripClaim. Loading the frame, from df.to_pickle() or through multiprocessing, joblib or dask, then needed this package installed, at a version that still has that class. Without it the whole frame failed to load: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'questdb._client' Version 5.0 stored the note as a plain dict and had no such requirement. __reduce__ now rebuilds the note as a plain dict, with the nested mappings converted too, so the pickle names no class of this package. dataframe() reads a plain dict note the same way. pandas copies a plain dict into each derived frame, so the loaded note needs neither the freezing nor the sharing the class exists for. The cost is speed: a very wide frame loaded from a pickle has its note copied the slower way until the table is read from QuestDB again. The pickle test now checks that the loaded note equals the original and is a plain dict at every level. It also checks that the frame still writes column u back as UUID, and that a Python process which cannot import questdb loads the pickle. The changelog entry that says the note pickles as before now says what a loaded frame carries. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
QuestDB.close() waits for work already under way on the handle: calls such as dataframe() running on other threads, and sender() / reader() leases that are still open. It gave up on either after 60 seconds and raised, leaving the handle half-closed. For a lease the limit is useful: one held by the calling thread, or by a thread that has finished, never comes back, and waiting for it hangs for ever. For a call it was not. A long, healthy dataframe() on another thread made close() fail after a minute, and the load then finished normally. close() cannot tell whether an open lease will ever be closed, or whether a running call will ever end. A dataframe() reading a stream with no end never does. No single limit suits every caller, so close() now takes a timeout: close() calls: until they return; leases: up to 60 s close(timeout=30) calls and leases: up to 30 s close(timeout=0) no wait; closes only a handle nothing is using close(timeout=None) calls and leases: no limit Without an argument it keeps the 60-second limit on leases, which turns the common mistake of leaving a with block while a lease is still open into an error rather than a hang, and it waits for calls as 5.0 did. A private marker tells "no argument" apart from None, which means no limit. A bad timeout is refused before close() changes any state. The error now explains only what is left: why a lease may never come back when one is open, and that close() cannot interrupt a call when one is running. Waiting for another thread's close() to finish the teardown uses the same limit. The progress warning is logged every five seconds for the first minute and then once a minute, so a long load no longer adds a line every five seconds for as long as it runs. A wait that runs out with work still pending is logged before the error, as before. The close() docstring and the stub describe the four cases and say that close() cannot interrupt a running call. The changelog gains a New entry for timeout and a Breaking entry for the lease limit, and the Fixed entry no longer says a call always returns. The test that required close() to give up on a running dataframe() now requires it to wait past the limit and succeed. New tests cover timeout=0, a timeout on a running call, timeout=None past the lease limit, and bad arguments. The concurrency grid now releases parked calls one second after close()'s shortened limit, so a passing cell shows that close() waited past the limit and then finished. Six cells where close() meets only a running call now pass; six cells with an open lease changed only their message text. The test of one-way closing now expects a second close() to succeed while the first waits on a call, and to be refused while it waits on a lease.

Summary
|
The close() docstring advised calling close(timeout=...) as the last statement of a `with` block to bound leaving the block. When that close ran out of time and raised, `__exit__` called close() again with no argument. A close with no argument waits for a call in progress without any limit, so leaving the block could hang until a long dataframe() finished, well past the timeout the caller gave. close() now records the deadline of a timeout given as a number of seconds, and `__exit__` closes with whatever is left of it. Once the budget has run out, the close on the way out does not wait: it finishes the teardown if nothing is in flight any more, and otherwise gives up at once, logging the failure when the block is already raising and raising it on a clean exit. A close() with no argument or with timeout=None clears the budget, so the exit then closes with the default limits as before. The budget belongs to the handle, so a timed close() on any thread sets it. A single close(timeout=T) could also wait close to twice T on its own. After spending part of the budget waiting for a lease, it could find that another thread had taken over the teardown, and it then waited a fresh T for that teardown to finish. That wait now ends at the same deadline as the rest of the call. With no timeout, the wait keeps its own bound of a minute, as before. The time the native layer spends flushing during a teardown this call runs itself (close_flush_timeout_millis) is still outside the budget. New tests cover the `with` exit after a timed close that ran out, on both the exception path and the clean path, and the wait for another thread's teardown with and without a timeout, including the limit the error message names. The teardown tests hold the timed close inside its progress notice while another thread takes over, so the outcome does not depend on which thread wins the lock.

At the end of close(), the thread that ran the teardown released the
handle's error_handler and connection_listener before it marked the
close as finished. Releasing them can run their finalizers right
there, on that thread, and two kinds of finalizer then waited for a
close that could not finish until the finalizer returned:
- A finalizer that calls close() on the same handle. For example, an
object passes its own method as error_handler and closes the handle
in __del__; the program drops the object, and something else closes
the handle. The inner close() took the teardown to be running on
another thread, waited out its whole limit (a minute by default,
for ever with timeout=None), and then raised
close() stopped waiting after 60s for a concurrent close() on another thread to finish the teardown.
- A finalizer that waits for a lock held by a thread that is itself
in close(), waiting for this teardown. Both threads stood still
until that thread's wait ran out.
close() now marks the close as finished and wakes the waiting threads
first, and releases the callbacks after that. This is safe because
questdb_db_close has already joined the dispatchers, so no callback
can run any more. The one visible difference is that a close()
waiting on another thread can return before the callbacks'
finalizers have finished. The thread that runs the teardown still
returns only after releasing them.
A garbage-collection pass can still run some other object's finalizer
on the tearing-down thread in the short stretch between taking the
native pointer and marking the close as finished, and a close() of
the same handle from there still waits out its limit. This is left
alone on purpose, and a comment in close() says why: it needs an
unreachable object whose finalizer closes this very handle, collected
in a window of a few Python operations, and it loses nothing.
Returning early there could report success before the teardown has
run.
Two new tests cover the finalizer that closes the handle and the
finalizer that needs a lock held by a waiting thread. Both fail with
the callbacks released first.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The close() docstring described two limits that the code does not have. It said that, with no timeout, a call in progress is waited for until it returns. That holds only for the handle's own methods, such as QuestDB.dataframe() and QuestDB.query(). A dataframe() run through a lease (lease.dataframe()) counts as that lease, so close() waits for it for up to a minute, like any other outstanding lease. The docstring now defines calls this way and says that a long load through a lease needs a larger timeout, or None. It also read as if timeout bounded the whole close. It covers only the waiting. After that, the native teardown spends up to close_flush_timeout_millis (5 seconds by default) draining each sender's queue, and an in-memory queue drops whatever it has not delivered by then; a disk-backed queue (sf_dir) keeps it. The docstring now says so, says that the drop is not reported to Python (the native layer logs it only through the Rust log crate, which nothing forwards to Python logging), and recommends closing each lease with close(wait=True) to be sure rows have arrived. The drop going unreported is not new in this branch and needs a native change, so it is left for a separate fix. The sender() and reader() docstrings said close()'s wait for outstanding leases "is bounded", which is not true with timeout=None. They now say it lasts as long as close()'s timeout allows, a minute by default. Addresses Moderate 3 of the PR #140 review: #140 (comment) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A GEOHASH claim in df.attrs['questdb'] on an unsigned integer column is written as GEOHASH: since 4a741b3, dataframe() gives such a column the signed integer type of the same width, holding the same bits, before either write route sees it. That is how frames saved from 5.0, whose to_pandas() returned GEOHASH as unsigned integers, write back correctly. An explicit schema_overrides={'gh': ('geohash', bits)} on the same column was still refused by the native importer: override 'geohash' is not applicable to column 'gh' of Arrow type UInt8 The implicit claim was treated more leniently than the explicit override. With both on one column it was worse: the write logged that a uint8 column "cannot carry" the claim, advised stating the type outright with schema_overrides, and then failed on exactly that override. 5.0 refused the override the same way, so this is not a regression, but the claim fix made the gap visible. A column that schema_overrides names ('geohash', bits) now gets the same signed view as a claimed one. This covers every frame that takes overrides: pandas, pyarrow Tables and RecordBatches, and polars DataFrames and LazyFrames (a LazyFrame stays lazy). NumPy columns become views and Arrow columns views of each chunk, so no data is copied, and pyarrow fields keep their metadata. An override is taken at any precision, so one too wide for the column is refused with the range it can hold, for example "(must be 1..=8)" for a uint8 column. An override of another kind still leaves the column unsigned, since 'ipv4' and 'char' need that. A one-shot stream such as a RecordBatchReader is read only as the write goes, so it still needs a signed column. New tests write every unsigned width in all five frame shapes and compare each payload with the one the signed column holding the same bits produces; check that a claim and an override on the same column write at the override's precision with nothing logged; and check the too-wide refusal. The changelog, the override table in docs/sender.rst and a stale system-test docstring that still said an unsigned GEOHASH claim is dropped are updated.

The macOS arm64 wheel job ran into its two-hour limit on the cp314t (free-threaded) build. Its test run stopped inside test_a_concurrent_close_does_not_wait_for_callback_finalizers and printed nothing more until the job was cancelled. Every other build passed. The test holds app_lock on the main thread while it calls db.close(), and the error handler's __del__ takes the same lock. On a GIL build the finalizer runs on the thread that drops the handler's last reference: the teardown thread, which waits until the main thread lets go of the lock. On a free-threaded build the object goes back to the thread that created it, the main thread, and is freed there at that thread's next bytecode, while it still holds the lock. With a plain Lock the main thread then waits on itself for ever, never reaches the join(timeout=30) in the finally block, and the job runs until it is cancelled. The lock is now an RLock. On a GIL build nothing changes: the teardown thread still cannot take a lock the main thread holds, so a close() that waited for the finalizers still fails the test. On a free-threaded build the finalizer takes the lock again on the main thread instead of blocking. The GitHub macOS arm64 job now also runs the suite through ci/run_tests_with_watchdog.py, as the Azure macos_cp310_cp311 job does. When no test makes progress for 15 minutes, the watchdog prints every thread's stack and exits, so a hang like this one fails with a traceback instead of running into the job's time limit.

A transaction made before Sender.dataframe(), or constructed directly, bypassed the mid-row check in Sender.transaction().

The close(), sender() and CHANGELOG text promised an outstanding lease keeps working while the handle drains.

Review of #140 — level 3Reviewed Verdict: approve with comments. There are no Critical findings and no Critical coverage gaps. Merge still waits on the pin refresh the PR body describes. Separately, one pre-existing silent-corruption bug sits in code this PR reworks (pre-existing item 1), and it is a one-line fix. Moderate
Minor
Coverage gaps (Moderate)
Each behavioural fix since the last round has a regression test. Reverting each fix made its test fail; 9ab6f91's revert crashed the child process with SIGSEGV. Pre-existing, not caused by this PR, worth fixing here

c-questdb-client #195
docs #516
Summary
Support UUID, IPV4, BINARY, CHAR, DATE, LONG256, and GEOHASH values in
Sender.row(),Buffer.row(), andPooledSender.row(). Reject these types on ILP transports and document server requirements and NULL sentinels.The DataFrame path supports explicit and round-tripped claims for the corresponding column types, including GEOHASH precisions carried by signed integer columns, and the unsigned GEOHASH columns in frames saved from 5.0. This adds
schema_overridestoSender.dataframe(),QuestDB.dataframe(), andPooledSender.dataframe().The public API also exports the new
Char,DateMillis,Geohash, andLong256value classes throughquestdb.__all__.Fixes #138.
Native-client dependencies
The development gitlink pins #195's branch
fix/geohash-value-rangeat exact commitb262d2f39dcce609b3dbbd326c7e1f9f0ac6707b. This is reproducible but not yet a landing pin. This PR must not merge until #195 is merged intoc-questdb-client/main, after which this gitlink must be refreshed to the resulting mainline commit and the final matrix rerun.User-facing documentation for the broader row-type feature is in documentation#516; its Python edits should land with this PR.
Tracked separately
Rows dropped when the native close gives up draining (
close_flush_timeout_millis, 5 s by default) are not reported to Python: no exception, noerror_handlercall, noquestdblog record. This is pre-existing (the base branch behaves the same) and needs a native change, so it is tracked in c-questdb-client #210 rather than fixed here. TheQuestDB.close()docstring documents the drop and recommends closing each lease withclose(wait=True).Public string arguments refuse
strsubclasses such asnumpy.str_and(str, Enum)members. Parameters typedstr(table_name,conf_str,host,sql) raiseTypeError: Argument '…' has incorrect type.dataframe(at=…),dataframe(symbols=[…])and theSender.rownames and values pass anisinstance(x, str)check and then raise a bareExpected str, got numpy.str_. This is pre-existing (5.0 behaves the same), and fixing it changes API behavior at every entry point, so it is tracked in #154 rather than fixed here. The one instance this PR introduced, adf.attrs['questdb']claimkindthat is astrsubclass, is fixed here: claims travel with the data and must never fail a write.A
SenderTransactionused withoutwithacts on the whole shared buffer. Itscommit()can flush rows written outside it, and itsrollback()can discard another open transaction's rows and end that transaction, with nothing raised. This is pre-existing (5.0 and this PR's base behave the same). The fix changes when a transaction claims the buffer, so it is tracked in #155 rather than fixed here. Therollback()comment this PR added, which says a never-entered transaction owns no rows, is wrong in the same way, and SenderTransaction used withoutwithacts on the whole shared buffer #155 corrects it.
