[python] Support query auth (row filter & column masking) for REST catalog

[MgjLLL]

Purpose

Adds query-auth support to the Python client so it honors the row-level filter and column masking rules returned by a REST catalog, matching the existing JVM client behavior.

When the new option query-auth.enabled is set to true, before producing a Plan the client calls POST /v1/.../databases/{db}/tables/{tb}/auth with the projected fields, receives { filter, columnMasking }, and applies them on the read path:

• RESTApi.auth_table_query issues the call (new request/response models AuthTableQueryRequest / AuthTableQueryResponse, new path in ResourcePaths.auth_table).
• TableQueryAuth / TableQueryAuthResult (catalog/table_query_auth.py) wrap the result and convert each split to a QueryAuthSplit.
• predicate_json_parser (common/predicate_json_parser.py) parses Paimon predicate JSON into a PyArrow compute filter (EQ/NEQ/LT/LTEQ/GT/GTEQ/IS_NULL/IS_NOT_NULL/IN/NOT_IN/STARTS_WITH/ENDS_WITH/CONTAINS/AND/OR/NOT).
• AuthFilterReader / AuthMaskingReader / ColumnProjectReader (read/reader/auth_masking_reader.py) implement row filtering, column masking transforms (NULL, FIELD_REF, CAST, UPPER, LOWER, CONCAT, CONCAT_WS) and final projection back to the user's requested columns.
• read_builder / stream_read_builder / table_read / table_scan / file_store_table / catalog_environment / rest_catalog are wired to invoke the auth call and pull extra fields required only by the auth filter.

Behavior is gated by the new CoreOptions.QUERY_AUTH_ENABLED (query-auth.enabled, default false), so existing users see no change.

Tests

Three new test files (994+ lines, all passing locally under pytest):

• paimon-python/pypaimon/tests/predicate_json_parser_test.py — covers each predicate kind, nested AND/OR/NOT, type coercion, null handling, and extract_referenced_fields.
• paimon-python/pypaimon/tests/auth_masking_reader_test.py — covers each masking transform, missing-field validation, and projection back to the user-requested columns.
• paimon-python/pypaimon/tests/table_query_auth_test.py — end-to-end coverage: REST catalog calls auth_table_query, the result is plumbed into the plan, splits become QueryAuthSplit, and reads return filtered + masked rows.

Local check:

API and Format

• New catalog option: query-auth.enabled (boolean, default false).
• New REST endpoint consumed by the client: POST /v1/{prefix}/databases/{db}/tables/{tb}/auth. Request { "select": [...] }, response { "filter": [<predicate-json>...], "columnMasking": { <col>: <transform-json>, ... } }. The contract follows the existing Java client; no server-side change is required for catalogs that already implement query auth.
• No change to existing user-facing Python APIs. New types (AuthTableQueryRequest, AuthTableQueryResponse, TableQueryAuth, TableQueryAuthResult, QueryAuthSplit, AuthFilterReader, AuthMaskingReader, ColumnProjectReader) are additive and live under existing modules.
• File format / on-disk layout: unchanged.

Documentation

The new option query-auth.enabled should be reflected in the Python configuration reference. Happy to add the docs entry in this PR or in a follow-up — please advise.

This closes #8135

I found a few correctness issues in the query-auth paths introduced here:

1. paimon-python/pypaimon/read/datasource/split_provider.py:127 constructs ReadBuilder(self._ensure_table()) directly. That bypasses FileStoreTable.new_read_builder(), which is where the REST query auth is injected. As a result, pypaimon.ray.read_paimon(...) can read REST tables without applying server-side row filters or column masking. I think this should either call self._ensure_table().new_read_builder() or explicitly pass the table's query auth into the builder, with a Ray regression test for row filtering/masking.

2. paimon-python/pypaimon/read/stream_read_builder.py:117 stores _query_auth, but new_streaming_scan() does not pass it into AsyncStreamingTableScan. The plans returned from streaming_table_scan.py:322 and streaming_table_scan.py:386 also do not go through auth_result.convert_plan(). So table.new_stream_read_builder() skips row filters and column masking for both the initial scan and later delta/changelog scans. The streaming scan should preserve and apply query auth before returning each plan.

3. The auth reader wrappers currently assume the inner reader supports read_arrow_batch() (paimon-python/pypaimon/read/reader/auth_masking_reader.py:38 and :66). For primary-key tables with non-raw-convertible splits, TableRead can create a MergeFileSplitRead, whose create_reader() returns the normal row RecordReader path rather than a RecordBatchReader. Wrapping that in AuthFilterReader/AuthMaskingReader will fail with AttributeError when query auth is enabled. This needs either a row-reader auth path, conversion to a batch-capable reader before wrapping, or routing/rejecting these splits explicitly.

Fixes for issues raised by @JingsongLi, plus one additional issue found during analysis.
8 files changed, +188 -13 lines.

Fix 1: Ray read path bypasses auth (split_provider.py)

_ensure_planned() directly constructed ReadBuilder(table), bypassing the query_auth injection from FileStoreTable.new_read_builder().

Fix: Changed to self._ensure_table().new_read_builder(). Removed the direct ReadBuilder import.

Fix 2: Streaming read path skips auth entirely (streaming_table_scan.py, stream_read_builder.py)

StreamReadBuilder stored _query_auth but never passed it to AsyncStreamingTableScan. All three plan creation methods (initial/follow-up/catch-up) produced plans without auth wrapping.

Fix:

• Added query_auth parameter to AsyncStreamingTableScan.__init__()
• Added _apply_auth(plan) method that calls query_auth(select) → convert_plan(plan)
• Applied auth to _create_initial_plan, _create_follow_up_plan, _create_catch_up_plan
• Extracted _create_initial_plan_raw() to avoid double auth in catch-up path
• StreamReadBuilder.new_streaming_scan() now passes query_auth

Fix 3: Primary-key table merge reader incompatible with auth wrappers (auth_masking_reader.py, table_read.py)

MergeFileSplitRead.create_reader() returns a RecordReader (row-level), but AuthFilterReader/AuthMaskingReader require RecordBatchReader (batch-level with read_arrow_batch()). Java has a unified RecordReader<InternalRow> so this
mismatch doesn't exist in JVM.

Fix:

• Added RecordReaderToBatchAdapter(RecordBatchReader) that collects OffsetRow tuples from read_batch()/next() and converts them to pa.RecordBatch
• _authed_reader() now detects non-RecordBatchReader and wraps with the adapter before applying auth wrappers

Fix 4: Parallel read path bypasses auth + missing raw_convertible proxy (table_read.py, query_auth_split.py)

_read_one_split_to_batches() called _create_split_read(split).create_reader() directly, bypassing QueryAuthSplit detection. Additionally, QueryAuthSplit lacked a raw_convertible property proxy, causing AttributeError when accessed.

Fix:

• Changed to self._create_reader_for_split(split) which correctly handles QueryAuthSplit
• Added raw_convertible property proxy to QueryAuthSplit

New Tests (for fixes)

• TestQueryAuthSplitRawConvertible (2 tests) — verifies raw_convertible proxy for true/false
• TestRecordReaderToBatchAdapter (5 tests) — basic conversion, multi-batch, empty reader, close delegation, integration with AuthFilterReader

All 90 auth-related tests pass. Full test suite: 318/324 pass (6 pre-existing failures unrelated to this PR).

@JingsongLi All 3 issues fixed (+ 1 additional parallel path bypass found during analysis). See updated PR description. PTAL.

Java TableScan.Plan does not carry a snapshot id, but Python Plan does and the update / row-id update paths use it as check_from_snapshot. Wrapping the plan here drops plan.snapshot_id, so a query-auth table planned from a non-empty snapshot becomes snapshot_id=None; table_update then emits commit messages with -1, which disables the row-id conflict checks (and related global-index update checks). Please preserve the original plan metadata, e.g. Plan(auth_splits, snapshot_id=plan.snapshot_id).

[JingsongLi]

This auth-specific construction bypasses the normal PK read path above. In _create_split_read, PK tables inject missing sequence.field columns into the inner read type and then project them back out, matching the Java withReadType + outer projection behavior. Here, if query auth is enabled and the user projects id,val from a PK table with sequence.field=ts, MergeFileSplitRead is built without ts; that can either fail with sequence.field ... not found or merge by file sequence instead of the configured user sequence. Please reuse the existing _create_split_read widening/project-back logic for effective_read_type, or factor it so the auth path cannot drift from the normal PK path.

[JingsongLi]

This does not match the JVM LIKE semantics. Java treats backslash as the default escape character before expanding % / _, so a policy predicate like LIKE admin\\_% matches admin_foo and not adminXfoo. Escaping the whole string first and then replacing every % / _ makes escaped wildcards behave as wildcards (or requires a literal backslash), so Python can allow/deny different rows from the Java client for the same auth filter. Please port the Java Like.sqlToRegexLike behavior, including invalid escape handling.

@JingsongLi All 3 issues fixed (+ several related correctness issues found during follow-up self-review). New commit 7d037c6a8 squashes the round-2 fixes into one increment on top of 482fdadd7. PTAL.

Fixes for the three review comments

1. catalog/table_query_auth.py — wrapping drops Plan.snapshot_id

convert_plan now returns Plan(auth_splits, snapshot_id=plan.snapshot_id).

Without this, query-auth tables planned from a non-empty snapshot lost row-id conflict / global-index update checks (check_from_snapshot=-1). New test TestConvertPlanPreservesSnapshotId covers both non-null and None cases.

2. read/table_read.py — _create_split_read_with_read_type bypasses PK widening

Removed the parallel method. _create_split_read now accepts an optional read_type, so the auth path goes through the same sequence.field injection + outer projection used by the normal PK read path.

id,val projection over a PK table with sequence.field=ts no longer fails or merges by file sequence.

3. common/predicate_json_parser.py — LIKE escape mismatches JVM

Ported Like.sqlToRegexLike: backslash is the default escape character, \% / \_ are literal, invalid escape sequences raise.

LIKE admin\_% now matches admin_foo (not adminXfoo), so policy predicates evaluate identically to the JVM client.

Related correctness fixes (self-found, all on the same auth surface)

• Streaming path previously stored _query_auth but never applied it. StreamReadBuilder now forwards query_auth and read_type to AsyncStreamingTableScan, which calls _apply_auth on initial / follow-up / catch-up plans. Catch-up uses _create_initial_plan_raw to avoid double auth.
• Iterator / parallel / Ray paths consolidated through _create_reader_for_split. to_iterator gains a RecordBatchReader branch for PyTorch / generic iterator consumers. scan_with_stats applies auth for parity with plan().
• Row kind preserved on PK + auth: RecordReaderToBatchAdapter encodes row_kind into a _row_kind column when include_row_kind=True; ColumnProjectReader keeps _row_kind even when user projection drops it; to_iterator restores it via OffsetRow.set_row_kind_byte without leaking the column into row_tuple.
• Adapter chunking: when an inner read_batch yields more rows than chunk_size, the surplus rows are carried over to the next flush instead of being dropped.
• QueryAuthSplit attribute delegation: __getattr__ forwards file_size, file_paths, data_deletion_files, raw_convertible, etc. to the inner split (Ray / explain / Daft paths), while guarding _-prefixed names to avoid pickle recursion.
• Daft explain_scan consistency: ExplainSplitInfo now carries has_auth, populated from QueryAuthSplit in _build_explain_result. Daft's _split_has_auth accepts both real splits and the explain descriptor, so reported reader_mode and fallback_reason="query auth active" match the actual read path.
• Pickle safety when auth is disabled: table_query_auth returns None instead of a local lambda, keeping FileStoreTable Ray-pickle-safe.

Tests

• New tests for snapshot_id preservation, row_kind through adapter / project reader, chunk-size carry-over, and QueryAuthSplit attribute delegation incl. pickle round-trip.
• 45 query-auth related tests pass:
