Add a write-time metrics capture layer for materialization (EAPC-22385),
local compute engine + Cassandra first. Off by default; gated behind the
ENABLE_MATERIALIZATION_METRICS env var.

- MaterializationMetricsAggregator (feast/_materialization_metrics.py):
  accumulates rows_read_offline, rows_written_online, drop_reasons,
  fields_written, field_null_counts, and max_event_timestamp/lag_seconds.
  Invariant: rows_read - rows_written == rows_dropped == sum(drop_reasons).
- ExecutionContext carries an optional metrics_collector; instantiated in
  ComputeEngine.get_execution_context only for a MaterializationTask when
  the env gate is on.
- Local nodes populate it: LocalSourceReadNode (rows_read), LocalFilterNode
  (filter drops), LocalDedupNode (dedup drops), LocalOutputNode (rows_written,
  fields, null counts, freshness). All no-ops when the collector is absent.
- The online store reaches the aggregator via a ContextVar the output node
  binds around the write (collecting()), so online_write_batch's signature is
  unchanged. Cassandra records ttl_expired / ttl_exceeds_max at its TTL skip
  points, best-effort.
- Unit tests for the aggregator and the node hooks, incl. the contextvar
  store-drop seam.

…olume metrics (EAPC-22385)

Extend the write-time materialization metrics collector to the Spark compute
engine and add the remaining Layer-1 volume metrics.

- Spark path: MaterializationStatsAccumulatorParam merges per-executor stats
  (via the pure, commutative merge_stats) back to the driver; map_in_arrow
  builds a per-partition aggregator bound through collecting() so the online
  store's TTL-skip drops are captured on the executor.
- merge_from_dict folds the accumulator result into the driver-side collector.
- Volume metrics: bytes_written (Arrow nbytes, both engines) and
  distinct_entity_keys (exact via pyarrow group_by on the local engine; left
  unset on Spark to avoid a second DAG-re-executing pass -- HLL follow-up).
- Layer-1 -> job bridge (record_run_result / drain_run_results) so the
  materialization job can drain write-time stats after store.materialize().
- Env-gated (ENABLE_MATERIALIZATION_METRICS), no-op when disabled.

Tests: collector merge/volume/bridge + Spark accumulator path (pyspark-guarded).

…2385)

- Type map_in_arrow's stats_accumulator as Accumulator (the runtime object
  returned by sparkContext.accumulator), not the AccumulatorParam merge-rule
  class -- AccumulatorParam has no .add().
- Assert getActiveSession() is not None before use in SparkWriteNode (a write
  node only runs against an active session), resolving the union-attr error.

Root cause of all-NULL Layer-1 fields (rows_read/written/dropped, fields_written,
field_null_counts, bytes, max_event_timestamp) on the Spark engine: the per-
executor tally was pushed into a Spark accumulator inside a mapInArrow UDF, and
accumulator updates from Arrow/pandas UDFs do not reliably propagate to the
driver (Spark wires accumulator updates through RDD actions, not the SQL/UDF
path). So stats_accumulator.value came back {} and merge_from_dict set nothing.
(The local engine tallies in-process on the driver, which is why it populated.)

Fix: map_in_arrow_online_stats does the same single-pass online write but RETURNS
one pickled MaterializationMetricsAggregator.to_dict() per partition as a binary
column; the driver .collect()s these and folds them with merge_stats -- a
returned result is guaranteed to reach the driver. Pickle preserves datetimes /
Counter / list fields. distinct_entity_keys stays unset on Spark (v1, unchanged).

Remove the now-dead accumulator machinery: MaterializationStatsAccumulatorParam,
the stats_accumulator plumbing in map_in_arrow (reverts it to a plain write
passthrough), and the unused imports.

The earlier Layer-1 work only instrumented SparkWriteNode (the DAG path,
from_offline_store=False). Batch materialization actually runs
SparkComputeEngine._materialize_from_offline_store (from_offline_store=True),
which writes via map_in_pandas and had NO metrics capture -- so every Layer-1
field (rows_read/written/dropped, fields_written, field_null_counts, bytes,
max_event_timestamp) was NULL regardless of the SparkWriteNode fix.

Add map_in_pandas_online_stats: mirrors map_in_pandas' write exactly (incl.
field mapping), tallies a MaterializationMetricsAggregator per partition, and
RETURNS the pickled to_dict() in a binary column so the driver .collect()s and
folds them with merge_stats (a returned result propagates; a Spark accumulator
updated inside a pandas UDF does not). _materialize_from_offline_store now uses
it (+ .collect()) when metrics are enabled, else the unchanged map_in_pandas path.

Semantics: rows_written_online = rows submitted minus store-reported skips (the
Cassandra store reports negative-/oversized-TTL skips as drops via collecting(),
decrementing rows_written), so rows_read - rows_written == rows_dropped. This is
a producer-side count, NOT an independent read-back verification (see follow-up).

Best-effort: per-batch tally wrapped in try/except (never blocks the write);
driver-side merge/record wrapped too. The .collect() write action is unguarded
so real write failures still fail the job. distinct_entity_keys stays NULL on
Spark (v1).
