Fetch what staging a file on S3 reads on the async runtime, so a blocking thread no longer waits on S3 for it, except for images, video, audio, Parquet, and Arrow files, whose parsers seek. This does not affect local storage.

  • Fetch a file's first bytes, the rows a CSV's schema is inferred from, and its line-count download on the runtime, with only the parsing on blocking threads.
  • Stop reading a data frame's schema when its line count fails, and the reverse, so a failed count fails the inspection with the store's error.
  • Fetch a JSON data frame whole on the runtime and parse it in memory, since Polars parses it whole.
  • Fail staging with the store's error when the store returns no bytes partway through a file.
  • Sniff a stored CSV or TSV's dialect for a data frame view through the same code staging uses.

…s for staging on the async runtime

Staging a file on S3 kept a blocking thread waiting on S3 for the first bytes it inspects, for the
first rows a CSV's schema is inferred from, and through the file's line-count download. These
fetches now run on the async runtime, with only the parsing on blocking threads, and a data frame's
schema is still read alongside its line count. When either fails, the other stops: a failed count
fails the inspection with the store's error. Images, video, audio, Parquet, Arrow, and JSON files
are still read through a blocking reader, since their parsers need random access. This does not
affect local storage.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved CSV and TSV format detection, including sensible defaults when the format cannot be identified.
    • Improved row and column metadata for tabular files, including files stored in cloud storage.
    • Improved text line and character counts and metadata retrieval during file inspection.
    • Improved record counts for JSONL and NDJSON files while retaining format-specific size calculations for other supported file types.

Stored-file inspection and CSV schema reads now fetch data asynchronously. CSV dialect resolution is shared across readers and scanners. Tabular size calculation uses format-specific row-count paths, and workspace and S3 callers await stored inspection.

Changes: Stored-file metadata and tabular inspection

Layer / File(s) Summary
CSV dialect and stored schema
crates/liboxen/src/core/df/tabular.rs
CSV readers and scanners pass a CsvDialect. Stored CSV schema inference fetches a sniff sample and a bounded head asynchronously.
Asynchronous stored inspection
crates/liboxen/src/repositories/metadata.rs, crates/liboxen/src/repositories/metadata/tabular.rs, crates/liboxen/src/repositories/metadata/text.rs, crates/liboxen/src/core/v_latest/workspaces/files.rs, crates/liboxen/src/storage/s3.rs, crates/liboxen/src/util/fs.rs, crates/liboxen/src/opts.rs, crates/liboxen/src/opts/count_lines_opts.rs
Stored-version inspection and its workspace and S3 callers are asynchronous. Line counting returns LineCounts; text and tabular metadata use counts and schema data. The CountLinesOpts API is removed. The S3 workspace test checks uploaded CSV metadata dimensions.
Format-specific size calculation
crates/liboxen/src/core/df/tabular.rs
Size calculation reuses the scanned schema and selects height calculation by format.

A narrow stored CSV/TSV failure can be hidden as missing metadata; preserve the line-count error before merging.

A read given both the delimiter and the quote character fetches the file's first 64 KiB as well.

ENG-2397
Polars reads a JSON file to its end, so staging one on S3 kept a blocking thread waiting for the
whole download.

assembly into the blocking pool with the imported spawn_blocking function, await
