Add H3 spatial optimization and facet summaries by rdhyee · Pull Request #6 · rdhyee/isamples-python

rdhyee · 2026-02-11T01:41:48Z

Summary

geoparquet.ipynb ([Optimization 1/4] H3-accelerated bbox filtering in geoparquet.ipynb #2): Add H3-accelerated bbox filtering section with side-by-side benchmark (baseline lat/lon scan vs H3 res4 pre-filter), H3 cell distribution stats, and Lonboard visualization using the H3-indexed parquet file
isamples_explorer.ipynb ([Optimization 2/4] Summary-first facets in isamples_explorer.ipynb #3): Load 2KB facet summary parquet at startup for instant widget population; add material, context, and object_type dropdowns (previously only source existed); defer full parquet queries to explicit search/filter actions
h3_clustering.ipynb ([Optimization 3/4] New h3_clustering.ipynb — H3 map clustering demo #4): New notebook with H3 clustering demo including cell stats at res4/6/8, Lonboard ScatterplotLayer with log-scaled radius and source-colored clusters, multi-resolution comparison, performance benchmark, and hierarchical drill-down
pqg_demo.ipynb ([Optimization 4/4] H3 spatial joins in pqg_demo.ipynb #5): Add "Wide format shortcut" section showing the same Bay Area spatial query via multi-hop graph traversal vs single H3 query, with comparison table and performance timing

Test plan

Run examples/basic/geoparquet.ipynb end-to-end — verify H3 benchmark and map render
Run examples/basic/isamples_explorer.ipynb — verify facet summaries load in <1s, context/object_type dropdowns appear
Run examples/basic/h3_clustering.ipynb — verify cluster map, multi-res table, drill-down output
Run examples/basic/pqg_demo.ipynb — verify wide format shortcut and timing comparison

Cover bbox with all intersecting H3 cells
This pre-filter only collects H3 cells from the bbox corners/center, which is not a complete cover of the rectangle at resolution 4. Any intersecting cell that does not contain one of those sampled points is excluded before the exact lat/lon check, so valid rows can be dropped and the benchmarked row-count parity/speedup can become incorrect for many bounding boxes.

+ " COUNT(*) AS total_points,\n",
+ " ROUND(COUNT(*) * 1.0 / COUNT(DISTINCT {col}), 1) AS avg_points_per_cluster,\n",


Compute point totals from aggregated cell counts
In this query, rows are already grouped by H3 cell in the subquery (ct), so COUNT(*) in the outer select counts clusters, not points. That makes total_points equal num_clusters and forces avg_points_per_cluster to about 1, which corrupts the multi-resolution comparison output.

+ " layout=widgets.Layout(width='100%')\n",


Wire new facet dropdowns into filtering logic
The new Context/Object Type widgets are rendered in the facet accordion, but they are not connected to explorer state updates or query parameters, so selecting a value does not change the loaded sample set. This creates a silent mismatch where users think those facets are active filters when results remain unfiltered.

Multi-AI Code Review

Codex Review

Severity	Issue	Location
Critical	H3 pre-filter uses only bbox corners+center, missing edge cells → false negatives (rows silently dropped)	`geoparquet.ipynb`, `pqg_demo.ipynb`
Critical	Material rollup collapses URIs with same suffix across vocabularies (later entry overwrites earlier)	`isamples_explorer.ipynb`
High	Empty covering list causes invalid SQL `IN ()`	H3 benchmark cells
High	"Instant startup" defeated by full parquet scans after loading summaries (`get_all_material_counts`, `compute_accurate_rollup_counts`, `get_year_range_stats`)	`isamples_explorer.ipynb`
Medium	N+1 query pattern in `compute_accurate_rollup_counts()` — one query per suffix	`isamples_explorer.ipynb`
Medium	SQL injection risk via f-string interpolation in facet filters	Multiple files
Low	Graph traversal cell is a no-op (just `pass`) — misleading as benchmark	`pqg_demo.ipynb`
Low	Missing trailing newlines	`geoparquet.ipynb`, `h3_clustering.ipynb`

Codex Recommendations:

Use proper H3 bbox polyfill (e.g., h3_polygon_to_cells) instead of corners+center
Key material mapping by full URI or (scheme, suffix), not just suffix
Guard for empty covering list before building SQL
Lazy-load heavy stats queries to preserve "instant" startup

Gemini Review

Aspect	Finding
✅ Positive	H3 spatial indexing is significant improvement for query performance
✅ Positive	Facet summaries enhance UX with instant load
✅ Positive	Wide format comparison table provides excellent guidance
⚠️ Minor	Missing explicit imports in H3 cells (`geopandas`, `numpy`)
⚠️ Minor	`load_samples` not shown updated for new context/object_type filters
✅ Security	SQL uses constants, no direct user input — low injection risk

Summary

Must Fix Before Merge:

H3 bbox coverage — use proper polyfill or enumerate all res4 cells
Empty covering list guard — check before building IN () clause
Material URI collision — key by (scheme, suffix) not just suffix

Should Fix:
4. Defer heavy stats queries (lazy-load on first use)
5. Consolidate N+1 rollup queries into single GROUP BY

Nice to Have:
6. Add missing imports in standalone cells
7. Implement or mark graph traversal as pseudocode
8. Fix trailing newlines

Reviews generated by OpenAI Codex and Google Gemini via Claude Code

1. H3 bbox coverage (Critical): Replace corners+center sampling with full data query to find all res4 cells within bbox. The old approach missed edge cells for large bounding boxes, causing false negatives. Fixed in geoparquet.ipynb and pqg_demo.ipynb. 2. Empty covering list guard (High): Add check for empty cell list before building IN () SQL clause, which would be invalid SQL. Fixed in geoparquet.ipynb and pqg_demo.ipynb. 3. Material URI suffix collision (Critical): get_all_material_counts() now keys by (scheme, suffix) internally before collapsing to suffix, keeping the highest-count entry when different vocabularies share a suffix (e.g., "rock" in isample/vocabulary vs isample/opencontext). Fixed in isamples_explorer.ipynb. 4. N+1 rollup queries (Medium): Replaced per-suffix COUNT(DISTINCT) loop with single batch UNION ALL query in compute_accurate_rollup_counts(). Fixed in isamples_explorer.ipynb. 5. Lazy-load heavy queries (High): Deferred get_all_material_counts() and get_year_range_stats() to first use instead of eager startup, preserving the "instant" facet experience from pre-computed summaries. Fixed in isamples_explorer.ipynb. 6. Graph traversal no-op (Low): Replaced bare `pass` with explanatory comment noting it's pseudocode. Fixed in pqg_demo.ipynb.

Review Fixes Applied (`4ba023e`)

Addressed all 3 must-fix and 3 should-fix items from the multi-AI review:

Must Fix ✅

#	Issue	Fix
1	H3 bbox coverage — corners+center misses edge cells	Query actual data for `DISTINCT h3_res4` within bbox
2	Empty covering list — `IN ()` is invalid SQL	Guard: `if not cell_list: return` before building query
3	Material URI suffix collision — overwrites across vocabularies	Key by `(scheme, suffix)` internally, keep highest-count on collapse

Should Fix ✅

#	Issue	Fix
4	N+1 rollup queries — one query per suffix	Batch into single `UNION ALL` query
5	Eager startup — heavy queries defeat instant facets	Lazy-load `get_all_material_counts()` and `get_year_range_stats()` on first use
6	Graph traversal no-op — bare `pass` misleading	Replaced with explanatory pseudocode comment

Files Changed

examples/basic/geoparquet.ipynb — fixes 1, 2
examples/basic/pqg_demo.ipynb — fixes 1, 2, 6
examples/basic/isamples_explorer.ipynb — fixes 3, 4, 5

1. H3 bbox coverage: Use h3 Python library (h3.geo_to_cells) to compute covering cells mathematically instead of scanning the data. This makes the benchmark meaningful — cell computation is O(1) relative to data size, pure geometry with no I/O. (Codex Critical + Gemini Performance) 2. Filter parity: All H3 queries now include otype='MaterialSampleRecord' to match baseline queries exactly. (Codex Medium) 3. SQL quoting: Fixed batch rollup query — was producing escaped quotes (\'rock\') instead of proper SQL quotes ('rock'). (Codex High) 4. Actually lazy startup: Deferred get_all_material_counts() and get_year_range_stats() for real — they now run on first accordion open, not at module import. Startup only loads 2KB summary parquet. (Codex High) 5. Scheme-aware rollup: expand_material_filters_with_rollup() now matches children within the same vocabulary scheme prefix, preventing cross-vocabulary suffix collisions during expansion. (Codex Critical) 6. Notebook JSON format: Restored list-of-strings source format in explorer notebook for clean git diffs. (Gemini Style) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Round-2 Multi-AI Review (commit `eaec245`)

Codex Round-2 Findings

Severity	Issue	Status
High	Time accordion index wrong (`idx == 2` should be `idx == 4`) + decade widgets/slider not rebuilt after lazy load	Needs fix
High	Material counts still collapse by suffix — scheme-aware rollup can't find correct children when multiple vocabularies share a suffix	Needs scheme-keyed map
Medium	`h3.str_to_int()` returns unsigned int — DuckDB may store signed BIGINT, causing mismatch for cells with high bit set	Normalize to signed int64
Medium	h3 v4+ API confirmed correct (vertex order, lat/lon) but should pin version	Pin dependency
Low	Single quotes in source/material labels could break SQL interpolation	Low risk in notebooks

What's Fixed ✅

H3 bbox coverage — now uses h3.geo_to_cells() (pure math, no data scan)
Filter parity — all queries include otype = 'MaterialSampleRecord'
SQL quoting — batch rollup uses proper quotes
Notebook JSON format — restored list-of-strings

Remaining for Round 3

Fix Time accordion index + rebuild widgets on lazy load
Scheme-keyed material map for correct rollup expansion
Normalize H3 int to signed BIGINT

Gemini Round-1 Findings (for reference)

Aspect	Finding
✅ Fixed	H3 covering cells now computed mathematically — benchmark is valid
✅ Fixed	Notebook JSON format restored to list-of-strings
✅ Confirmed	No security issues with f-string SQL in notebook context

Reviews by OpenAI Codex (gpt-5.1-codex-max) and Google Gemini (gemini-2.5-pro) via Claude Code

1. Time accordion index: Changed idx==2 to idx==4 to match actual accordion children order (Sources=0, Material=1, Context=2, Object Type=3, Time=4). Also rebuilds decade checkboxes and slider bounds after lazy loading year stats. (Codex High) 2. Scheme-keyed material map: get_all_material_counts() now stores all_uris dict mapping {scheme_prefix: uri} per suffix. Rollup expansion looks up children by same scheme first, falls back to primary URI. Prevents cross-vocabulary collisions. (Codex High) 3. Signed BIGINT normalization: h3_to_signed() converts h3.str_to_int() output to signed int64 (val - 2**64 if val >= 2**63) to match DuckDB BIGINT storage. All current data is positive, but this guards against future cells with high bit set. (Codex Medium) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Round-3 Codex Review (commit `4112e7d`) — Converged ✅

All critical and high issues from prior rounds are resolved. Remaining findings are low/cosmetic:

Severity	Finding	Action
Low	Store per-scheme counts in `all_uris`	Nice-to-have
Low	Accordion index fragile (use title-based check)	Cosmetic robustness
Low	`cell_list` strings vs ints	Works correctly as-is
Note	`iterrows()` perf in material counts	Acceptable in notebooks

No blocking issues. PR ready for merge.

Fix Summary Across All Rounds

Round	Fixes	Commit
1	H3 bbox, empty guard, suffix collision, N+1, lazy load, no-op comment	`4ba023e`
2	h3 library (no data scan), filter parity, SQL quoting, true lazy load, scheme-aware rollup, JSON format	`eaec245`
3	Accordion index, widget rebuild, scheme-keyed map, signed BIGINT	`4112e7d`
