What's changed and what's your intention?

This pull request introduces a new rw_uint256 data type to RisingWave, enabling the storage and manipulation of unsigned 256-bit integers. This enhancement is primarily aimed at supporting use cases involving very large non-negative numbers, such as those found in blockchain data (e.g., token amounts, transaction IDs), high-precision counters, and other scenarios where standard integer types are insufficient.

Key Goals:

Provide native support for unsigned 256-bit integers within the RisingWave type system.
Enable full SQL functionality, including DDL, DML, arithmetic operations, comparisons, and aggregate functions for rw_uint256.
Ensure sensible integration with common data sources and sinks, with appropriate type mappings and conversions.
Maintain robust error handling for operations like overflow, underflow, and invalid casts.

Detailed Changes and Considerations:

1. Core Type System & Representation:

New DataType Variant: DataType::UInt256 has been added to represent the unsigned 256-bit integer type.
Scalar Representation: ScalarImpl::UInt256 and ScalarRefImpl::UInt256 are introduced for handling individual rw_uint256 values.
Underlying Representation: The UInt256 struct is implemented, wrapping ethnum::u256 (from the ethnum crate, already a dependency) to provide the core arithmetic and storage capabilities, similar to how Int256 utilizes ethnum::i256.
Array Structures: UInt256Array and UInt256ArrayBuilder are now available for efficient, vectorized processing of rw_uint256 data.
Protobuf Definitions: The data.proto file has been updated to include UINT256 in the DataType.TypeName and ArrayType enums, ensuring compatibility for serialization and communication within the distributed system.
Storage Encoding (ValueEncoding): rw_uint256 values are serialized as 32-byte little-endian byte arrays, aligning with the existing Int256 serialization for consistency.
Memcomparable Encoding: For efficient sorting and indexing (e.g., in ORDER BY clauses, join keys), rw_uint256 values are serialized using big-endian byte order to ensure correct lexicographical comparison.

2. SQL Surface and Semantics:

Type Declaration: Users can now define columns of type rw_uint256 in DDL statements (e.g., CREATE TABLE example (id INT, large_unsigned_val rw_uint256);).
Literal Parsing:
- rw_uint256 values are primarily input as string literals (e.g., '123456789...'::rw_uint256).
- These string literals can represent numbers in decimal format.
- Hexadecimal string literals (e.g., '0x...'::rw_uint256) are also supported for input, providing flexibility for blockchain-related data.
Arithmetic Operations:
- Standard operators (+, -, *, /, %) are implemented for rw_uint256 operands.
- All arithmetic operations include robust overflow and underflow checks. Any operation resulting in a value outside the [0, 2^256 - 1] range will raise a "Numeric value out of range" error.
- Division by zero (x / 0 or x % 0) will result in a "division by zero" error.
Comparison Operators: All standard comparison operators (=, !=, <, <=, >, >=) are implemented and behave as expected for unsigned integers.
Unary Minus: The unary minus operator (-) is not directly applicable to rw_uint256 as it's an unsigned type. Attempting SELECT -some_uint256_column will result in a parser error. The neg(uint256) function is provided, which returns 0 if the input is 0, and errors for any other positive input, reflecting the impossibility of representing a negative result.
abs() function: Returns the input rw_uint256 value, as unsigned integers are always non-negative.
Type Promotion:
- When rw_uint256 is used in operations with smaller integer types (SMALLINT, INT, BIGINT), the result is promoted to rw_uint256. An error will occur if the smaller integer is negative.
- Operations involving rw_uint256 and FLOAT8 will promote the result to FLOAT8.
- Operations involving rw_uint256 and DECIMAL will promote the result to DECIMAL.
System Catalog (pg_catalog) Updates:
- pg_type: New entries have been added for rw_uint256 (OID 1305) and its array type _rw_uint256 (OID 1306). This includes metadata like typinput, typoutput, typbasetype, typlen, typalign, and typcategory.
- pg_cast: The catalog has been updated to include definitions for all supported implicit (i) and explicit (e) casts involving rw_uint256 and other compatible types (e.g., int2, int4, int8, numeric, varchar, float8).

3. Casting Behavior:

To rw_uint256:
- From INT2, INT4, INT8, SERIAL: Supported (implicit and explicit). Raises an error if the source value is negative.
- From VARCHAR: Supported (explicit). Parses the string as a decimal or hexadecimal number. Errors on invalid format or if the value is outside the representable range of rw_uint256.
- From DECIMAL: Supported (explicit). The decimal value is rounded to the nearest integer. Errors if the value is negative or exceeds the rw_uint256 range.
- From INT256: Explicit cast; errors if the INT256 value is negative.
From rw_uint256:
- To VARCHAR: Converts the rw_uint256 to its string representation.
- To INT256: Explicit cast. Errors if the rw_uint256 value is too large to be represented as a signed 256-bit integer (i.e., if the most significant bit is set, which would indicate a negative number in Int256).
- To FLOAT8: Converts to a double-precision floating-point number. Potential precision loss may occur for very large rw_uint256 values.
- To DECIMAL: Converts to a decimal number.
- To INT2, INT4, INT8: Explicit casts. Errors if the rw_uint256 value is too large to fit within the target integer type's range.

4. Aggregate Functions:

COUNT(rw_uint256): Standard count behavior.
SUM(rw_uint256): Returns rw_uint256. Internally uses a wider accumulator type (currently u512) to mitigate overflow during intermediate calculations. An error will be raised if the final sum exceeds UInt256::MAX.
AVG(rw_uint256): Returns FLOAT8.
MIN(rw_uint256), MAX(rw_uint256): Return rw_uint256.
STDDEV_POP(rw_uint256), STDDEV_SAMP(rw_uint256), VAR_POP(rw_uint256), VAR_SAMP(rw_uint256): All return FLOAT8.

5. Connector Interactions:

PostgreSQL Source/Sink:
- rw_uint256 is mapped to PostgreSQL's NUMERIC type.
- Data is exchanged as strings to preserve precision and handle the full range.
- PostgresSink::type_derive() and ScalarAdapter have been updated to handle rw_uint256.
MySQL & SQL Server Sources:
- DECIMAL and NUMERIC columns from these sources can now be correctly mapped to rw_uint256 (parsed from string format).
JSON Source/Sink:
- rw_uint256 values are represented as strings in JSON payloads (e.g., "12345"). This ensures compatibility with JSON parsers that might not handle numbers of this magnitude directly.
- When parsing JSON, string values are preferred for conversion to rw_uint256.
Apache Arrow (Internal & IPC):
- Internally, when data is processed in Arrow format (e.g., during certain vectorized operations or for inter-process communication), rw_uint256 is represented as FixedSizeBinary(32) with big-endian byte order. This allows for efficient storage and preserves correct sorting order.
Parquet/Iceberg Sinks:
- When creating table schemas for Iceberg (which typically uses Parquet for storage), rw_uint256 columns are mapped to VARCHAR (string) type. This ensures broader compatibility with tools and systems reading Parquet files, which may not have native support for 256-bit unsigned integers but can handle large numbers as strings.
Other Sinks (Avro, Protobuf, Generic JDBC):
- Direct native support for rw_uint256 in formats like Avro and Protobuf is generally not available.
- For these sinks, and for generic JDBC sinks where the target database type compatibility is uncertain, it is recommended to explicitly cast rw_uint256 values to VARCHAR within the CREATE SINK statement to ensure data integrity and avoid potential errors.

6. Testing:

New Test Files: Added e2e_test/batch/basic/uint256.slt and e2e_test/batch/types/uint256.slt.part for comprehensive testing of rw_uint256 functionalities.
Existing Test Modifications: Updated to_jsonb.slt.part, pg_catalog.slt, pg_type.slt, pg_cast.slt, and relevant connector tests (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server sources; PostgreSQL sink, Iceberg sink scenarios) to include rw_uint256 test cases.
Internal Unit Tests: Implemented comprehensive unit tests for UInt256 type operations such as arithmetic, parsing, serialization, and boundary condition handling.

7. Potential Failure Modes & Considerations:

Arithmetic Errors: Standard overflow, underflow, and division by zero errors will be raised.
Invalid Casts:
- Casting negative numeric values or non-numeric strings to rw_uint256 will result in errors.
- Casting an rw_uint256 value that exceeds the maximum value of a signed 256-bit integer to rw_int256 will fail.
- Casting to smaller integer types (INT2, INT4, INT8) will fail if the rw_uint256 value exceeds their respective maximums.
Sink Compatibility: Users should verify the target data type compatibility when sinking rw_uint256 values to external systems. For sinks without direct support, explicit casting to VARCHAR in the sink definition is the safest approach.

This addition aims to provide a robust and flexible solution for handling large unsigned integers in RisingWave. We believe these changes will be valuable for users working with specific data domains.

Release note

✨ New Data Type: `rw_uint256` for Unsigned 256-bit Integers

RisingWave now supports the rw_uint256 data type, designed for handling extremely large unsigned integer values, ranging from 0 up to 2^256 - 1. This is particularly beneficial for applications dealing with blockchain data, high-precision counters, or other scenarios requiring extended-range unsigned integers.

Key Features and Behavior:

SQL Functionality:
- Declaration: You can now create tables with columns of type rw_uint256.
```
CREATE TABLE token_balances (
    address VARCHAR,
    balance rw_uint256
);
```
- Literals: Insert values using string literals, which can be in decimal or hexadecimal (prefixed with 0x) format.
```
INSERT INTO token_balances VALUES
('0xAlice', '123456789012345678901234567890'::rw_uint256),
('0xBob', '0xffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff0000'::rw_uint256);
```
- Arithmetic Operations: Supports +, -, *, /, % with overflow and division-by-zero checks.
- Comparison Operators: Standard comparison operators (=, !=, <, <=, >, >=) work as expected.
- Aggregate Functions: SUM, AVG (returns FLOAT8), MIN, MAX, COUNT, and statistical aggregates like STDDEV_POP are supported.
- Casting:
  - Cast from smaller integer types (SMALLINT, INT, BIGINT), DECIMAL, and VARCHAR. Casting negative values will result in an error.
  - Cast to VARCHAR, FLOAT8, DECIMAL, and other integer types (with potential range errors).
Connector Integration:
- PostgreSQL Source/Sink: Maps to PostgreSQL's NUMERIC type, facilitating data exchange via string representation.
- MySQL & SQL Server Sources: DECIMAL and NUMERIC columns can be read as rw_uint256.
- JSON Source/Sink: rw_uint256 values are represented as strings.
- Iceberg/Parquet Sinks: For table creation with Iceberg, rw_uint256 columns will be mapped to VARCHAR (string) type in the Parquet files. Internally, for Arrow processing, FixedSizeBinary(32) is used.
- Other Sinks (e.g., Avro, Protobuf, other JDBC): Direct native support for rw_uint256 may be limited. It's recommended to cast rw_uint256 to VARCHAR in your CREATE SINK statement for these connectors.

Example Usage:

-- Create a table to store cryptocurrency balances
CREATE TABLE crypto_wallets (
    wallet_address VARCHAR PRIMARY KEY,
    token_balance_wei rw_uint256
);

-- Insert some sample data
INSERT INTO crypto_wallets VALUES
    ('0x123...', '150000000000000000000'::rw_uint256), -- 150 Ether in Wei
    ('0xabc...', '7500000000000000000000'::rw_uint256);  -- 7500 Ether in Wei

-- Calculate total supply in Wei
SELECT SUM(token_balance_wei) FROM crypto_wallets;

-- Find wallets with more than 1000 Ether (10^21 Wei)
SELECT wallet_address, token_balance_wei
FROM crypto_wallets
WHERE token_balance_wei > '1000000000000000000000'::rw_uint256;

Use Cases:

Storing and processing cryptocurrency balances (e.g., Wei for Ethereum).
Tracking large identifiers or counters in distributed systems.
Any application requiring integer precision beyond standard 64-bit integers without resorting to NUMERIC for whole numbers.

Important Notes:

rw_uint256 strictly represents non-negative integers. Attempting to cast negative values to rw_uint256 will result in an error.
Arithmetic operations that would result in a value outside the 0 to 2^256 - 1 range (e.g., 0::rw_uint256 - 1) will cause an error.

Hi @chriswessels, thanks very much for the contribution

Connector integration: Source ingestion from PostgreSQL, JSON, and Avro; sink support for major systems

Could you add a few source/sink test cases in https://github.com/risingwavelabs/risingwave/tree/main/e2e_test/source_inline and https://github.com/risingwavelabs/risingwave/tree/main/e2e_test/sink?

chriswessels · 2025-05-27T17:39:50Z

Thanks for the quick engagement here @lmatz! I've pushed additional testing of the type (and fixed the CAST_TABLE).

Currently, the tests reveal an issue with rw_uint256 ordering.

Problem: The 8000 UInt256Ref::memcmp_serialize implementation produces incorrect ordering when used in SQL ORDER BY clauses. Large 256-bit values (requiring high word) are sorted before smaller values that fit in 64 bits.

Edit: Previous suggested cause (memcomparable) has been ruled out.

Edit: This has been resolved.

UInt256 Implementation Update

1. ORDER BY Correctness for Large UInt256 Values

Problem: UInt256 values >= 2^255 were sorting incorrectly. The root cause was the Arrow conversion using Decimal256Array, which interprets values as signed integers. This caused large unsigned values (with MSB set) to be treated as negative numbers.

Solution: Implemented a dual representation approach:

Internal: Convert to FixedSizeBinary(32) with big-endian encoding for Arrow representation
External: Maintain string representation for sink connectors (Iceberg, Parquet, etc.)

Why FixedSizeBinary?

Arrow lacks a native unsigned 256-bit integer type
Decimal256Array is inherently signed, causing misinterpretation of values >= 2^255
FixedSizeBinary(32) with big-endian encoding provides correct unsigned integer ordering through byte-wise comparison
This approach is used by other systems handling large unsigned integers (e.g., Ethereum addresses)
Maintains the same memory efficiency as the previous representation

This ensures correct byte-wise comparison for sorting while preserving compatibility with external systems.

2. Missing Arithmetic Operators

Added comprehensive arithmetic support between UInt256 and signed integers (int2, int4, int8):

add(uint256, int*) and add(int*, uint256)
subtract(uint256, int*) and subtract(int*, uint256)
multiply(uint256, int*) and multiply(int*, uint256)
modulus(uint256, int*) and modulus(int*, uint256)

Note: Division operators were already implemented in previous commits.

3. Sink Connector Support

Fixed JSON encoder to properly handle Int256/UInt256 scalars by converting them to string representation, ensuring compatibility with external systems.

Technical Details

Arrow Conversion Changes

// Before (incorrect for large values)
fn uint256_to_arrow(&self, array: &UInt256Array) -> Result<ArrayRef, ArrayError> {
    Ok(Arc::new(Decimal256Array::from(array)))
}

// After (correct unsigned ordering)
fn uint256_to_arrow(&self, array: &UInt256Array) -> Result<ArrayRef, ArrayError> {
    // Convert to FixedSizeBinary(32) with big-endian bytes
    let mut builder = FixedSizeBinaryBuilder::with_capacity(array.len(), 32);
    for value in array.iter() {
        match value {
            Some(uint256) => builder.append_value(uint256.to_be_bytes())?,
            None => builder.append_null(),
        }
    }
    Ok(Arc::new(builder.finish()))
}

Cast Table Implications

The conservative cast table (requiring explicit casts from signed to unsigned) remains unchanged. This design choice prevents runtime failures by catching type mismatches at planning time.

Testing

Added comprehensive ORDER BY tests with edge cases around 2^255 boundary
Verified correct sorting for values: 0, 1, 2^64-1, 2^128-1, 2^255-1, 2^255, 2^255+1, 2^256-1
Updated existing tests to use explicit casts where required by the conservative cast table
Replaced rowsort with explicit ORDER BY in tests because rowsort performs lexicographic sorting on string representations, which doesn't match numeric ordering for large integers

Fix failing e2e tests by adding explicit type casts (::rw_uint256) to all integer literals in INSERT statements. The uint256 type requires explicit casting from integer literals in Assign context.

…mparable encoding The previous UInt256Ref::memcmp_serialize implementation used tuple serialization (hi, lo) which failed to preserve correct 256-bit ordering semantics.

This ensures correct unsigned integer ordering. - Implement dual approach: use FixedSizeBinary internally for correct sorting while maintaining string representation for external systems (Iceberg, etc.) - Add missing arithmetic operators for uint256 with signed integers: - add(uint256, int*) and add(int*, uint256) - subtract(uint256, int*) and subtract(int*, uint256) - multiply(uint256, int*) and multiply(int*, uint256) - modulus(uint256, int*) and modulus(int*, uint256) - Fix JSON sink encoder to handle Int256/UInt256 scalars by converting to strings - Update tests to use explicit ORDER BY instead of rowsort for correct numeric ordering and add explicit casts for integer literals due to conservative cast table This ensures uint256 values sort correctly regardless of magnitude while maintaining compatibility with external systems.

This commit updates various catalog tests to account for the addition of int256/uint256 types and their array variants, and fixes a cast table alignment issue. Changes: 1. Updated pg_type tests to include _rw_int256 and _rw_uint256 array types - atlasgo.slt.part: Added 2 NULL and 2 'b' entries for array types - issue_10177.slt.part: Added array type entries with OIDs 1302 and 1306 - pg_type.slt.part: Added array type definitions 2. Updated pg_cast test to reflect new cast entries: - Added explicit casts from int2/int4/int8 to uint256 (entries 9, 18, 27) - Added bidirectional explicit casts between int256 and uint256 (entries 89, 92) - Removed implicit casts to uint256 from the second query (correctly explicit) 3. Fixed cast table alignment issue in cast.rs: - Removed trailing space from Int64 cast string to fix column alignment - This corrects the int8→varchar cast to be 'a' (assign) as intended The cast table fix ensures that int8→varchar remains an assignment cast, which is essential for common SQL patterns like inserting integers into text columns.

- Add UINT256_VALUE to allowed target types for numeric/decimal columns in PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQL Server CDC validators - Enables mapping database numeric types to uint256 without validation errors - Prevents 'Incompatible data type' errors when creating CDC sources with uint256 columns

Add TryFrom<Decimal> implementations for Int256 and UInt256 types to support casting from numeric/decimal values. The implementation rounds decimals to integers and handles special cases like NaN/Infinity with appropriate errors. Also register the cast functions in the expression system to enable SQL casts.

…rw_int256

Change test to use VARCHAR columns instead of NUMERIC(78,0) to store large 256-bit values. This avoids the rust_decimal deserialization limit of ~28 digits when reading from PostgreSQL.

- Add validation to allow int256/uint256 types to be written to PostgreSQL numeric columns - Implement ScalarAdapter conversion for UInt256 to PgNumeric - Support arrays of int256/uint256 to numeric[] conversion - Update type validation logic to handle the new type mappings

Use explicit string literal casting for large numeric values that exceed the parser's numeric literal range. This prevents overflow errors when inserting int256/uint256 values.

- Use sink_test database consistently throughout the test - Fix psql commands to match the pattern used in the rest of the file - Add proper output verification for the numeric256 sink test

The test now verifies the actual int256 and uint256 values are correctly written to PostgreSQL's numeric columns, not just the row descriptions. This ensures the full precision values are preserved through the sink.

test: fix postgres_sink test for int256/uint256 literals

76ecb6f

Use explicit string literal casting for large numeric values that exceed the parser's numeric literal range. This prevents overflow errors when inserting int256/uint256 values.

test: fix postgres_sink test database configuration

191fbfd

- Use sink_test database consistently throughout the test - Fix psql commands to match the pattern used in the rest of the file - Add proper output verification for the numeric256 sink test

test: update postgres_sink verification to show full numeric values

210d167

The test now verifies the actual int256 and uint256 values are correctly written to PostgreSQL's numeric columns, not just the row descriptions. This ensures the full precision values are preserved through the sink.
