Summary

• Tracking Issue: Epic: Row-oriented scalar functions #9128

Replaces the primitive comparison migration in #9979, using the shared executor from #10675. This PR depends on #10675 and has been replayed onto its rebased head 7c47d4bcfee3370684c1b22de999e61f66628afa.

Reopened as a draft. The controlled measurements showed substantial AVX2 gains as well as ARM and AVX-512 regressions. They justify further work before merging, but do not establish that this migration has no benefit. #10741 isolates some float32 packing gains without this migration, while #10742 explores a smaller validity change. Neither is a complete replacement for every observed benefit here.

Changes

The private row kernel selects the primitive type and comparison operator. The framework owns borrowed inputs, constant handling, strict validity, and packed Boolean output. Removes the primitive operand wrapper and handwritten primitive kernels while preserving the public Binary identity and Vortex's floating-point total ordering.

Native Graviton3 measurements showed regressions when this migration used only #10673. Removing only the fused-execution patch while keeping all three foundations also slowed the tested comparisons. The dependency on #10675 keeps that execution work available when this migration merges.

Existing comparison tests exercise the shared executor. Source range-diff review confirms that the migration patch is unchanged by the rebase. Tests, formatting, and benchmarks were not rerun on the rebased head, so earlier measurements are not validation of this revision.

4 warnings, 1 note

⚠️ Walltime results may be unreliable

Some benchmarks used the Walltime instrument outside CodSpeed Macro Runners, which can make the results inconsistent.

⚠️ Unable to measure the execution of 1 benchmark

This benchmark measured no execution time, so its result is not comparable and counts as unchanged. This usually happens when the compiler removes the code under test.

⚠️ 18 benchmarks are dominated by system calls

System calls cannot be simulated consistently and are left out of the measure. The reported value understates the real cost. Switch to the Walltime instrument to measure them.

⚠️ Base and head ran on different runner types

Some benchmarks with significant performance changes were compared across different runner types, so the changes might not come from the code. Run base and head on the same runner type, or use CodSpeed Macro Runners for more stable results.

Edit: reopened as a draft. The controlled measurements showed substantial AVX2 gains as well as ARM and AVX-512 regressions. Those results justify holding the PR for further work, but do not establish that the migration has no benefit. The earlier closure treated those two conclusions as equivalent.

#10741 isolates a useful float32 packing policy, and #10742 explores a smaller validity change. Neither replaces every benefit observed in the migration. Both remain independent drafts with their own measurement limits.

#10675 and this PR are being rebased while preserving their dependency. The saved measurements are historical evidence, not validation of the rebased heads.
