Code Review: MERGE INTO MemTable Execution
Summary
This PR adds MERGE INTO execution support for MemTable, along with display formatting for merge operations and documentation. The implementation is substantial and generally well-structured, but there are several correctness, performance, and API concerns worth addressing.
Critical Issues
1. O(n²) nested-loop matching in execute_merge
for (target_idx, target_row) in target_rows.iter().enumerate() {
for (source_idx, source_row) in source_rows.iter().enumerate() {
let combined = combined_row_batch(...)?; // allocates a RecordBatch per pair
if evaluate_merge_predicate(&self.on, &combined)? { ... }
}
}This is quadratic in rows and allocates a full RecordBatch for every (target, source) pair. For any non-trivial table this will be catastrophically slow. Consider:
- Building a single combined batch (or using a hash join on the
ONexpression) to evaluate the predicate vectorized. - At minimum, reuse a single combined batch rather than allocating per pair.
2. evaluate_merge_predicate only inspects row 0
Ok(!bool_array.is_null(0) && bool_array.value(0))This is only correct because combined_row_batch always produces a 1-row batch. That invariant is implicit and fragile. If the batch ever contains more than one row, results silently become wrong. Either assert batch.num_rows() == 1 or document the invariant explicitly.
3. execute_merge ignores the partition argument
fn execute(&self, _partition: usize, ...) -> ... {
... exec.execute_merge(context).await ...
}execute_merge reads all target partitions and writes to all of them, then returns a single result batch. But properties declares Partitioning::UnknownPartitioning(1), so only partition 0 should ever be requested. This is currently consistent, but:
- It's a latent bug if partitioning is ever changed.
- It's worth a comment explaining why
_partitionis intentionally ignored.
4. Duplicate-match detection is order-dependent and aborts mid-scan
if let Some(first_source_idx) = target_matches[target_idx] {
return plan_err!("MERGE INTO matched target row {target_idx} with more than one source row ...");
}The error is raised as soon as a second match is found, but target_matches/source_matched are partially populated. More importantly, the semantics here are questionable: standard SQL MERGE raises an error on multiple matches, but the check should ideally be done before any mutation. Since mutation happens later, this is fine — but the error message references target_idx (positional) rather than a meaningful key, which will confuse users.
5. sort_order is cleared but never repopulated
*self.sort_order.lock() = vec![];After a MERGE, the target's sort order is wiped. If the table was sorted, this silently loses ordering guarantees for subsequent queries. Either preserve the sort order (if the merge preserves it) or document why it must be invalidated. Note sort_order is Arc<Mutex<Vec<Vec<SortExpr>>>> — shared mutable state mutated during execute, which is surprising for an ExecutionPlan.
6. execute_merge is not idempotent / not safe under retries
The method reads target state, computes, then writes back. If the plan is executed twice (e.g., retry, or EXPLAIN ANALYZE followed by execution), the merge will be applied twice. There's no guard. This is a general issue with in-place DML, but worth noting given the new code path.
Correctness Concerns
7. apply_first_merge_clause fallthrough returns the target row unchanged
Ok(MergeApplication {
row: base_target_row.map(|row| row.to_vec()),
affected: false,
})For NotMatchedByTarget with base_target_row = None, this returns row: None — correct. But for Matched/NotMatchedBySource with no matching clause, it returns the original target row. This is the desired "no-op" behavior, but it means a target row with no applicable clause is still emitted. Confirm this matches SQL semantics (it does for MERGE — unmatched rows are retained).
8. compile_merge_insert_values default handling uses empty_schema
let default = default.clone().cast_to(field.data_type(), empty_schema)?;
let expr = state.create_physical_expr(default, empty_schema)?;Defaults are compiled against an empty schema, so they cannot reference any columns. That's likely intended, but if a default expression references a column it will fail at physical planning with a confusing error. Consider validating/documenting this.
9. CompiledInsertValue::Null bypasses type coercion
CompiledInsertValue::Null(ScalarValue::try_new_null(field.data_type())?)This is fine, but note that Null values are not run through evaluate_merge_value, so they skip the cast_to step. Consistent with intent, but the asymmetry with MergeExpr/DefaultExpr is worth a comment.
10. combined_row_batch builds columns via ScalarValue::to_array
Each ScalarValue::to_array produces a 1-element array. This works, but is inefficient and relies on try_new accepting the schema. If merge_schema field order doesn't exactly match target_row ++ source_row, this will fail or silently misalign. The schema is constructed by the planner, so this is probably fine, but a debug assertion would help.
11. rows_to_batch with empty rows uses new_empty_array
if rows.is_empty() {
return Ok(new_empty_array(field.data_type()));
}new_empty_array produces a 0-length array, which is correct. But the RecordBatch::try_new at the end must accept 0-row columns — verify this doesn't trip nullability checks. Looks OK.
12. one_row_empty_batch for default evaluation
RecordBatchOptions::new().with_row_count(Some(1))Used as the batch for evaluating DefaultExpr. Since defaults are compiled against empty_schema, evaluating against a 1-row empty batch is consistent. Fine, but the naming (default_batch) could be clearer.
API / Design Concerns
13. Hand-written #[async_trait] expansion
// Hand-written `#[async_trait]` expansion to reduce compile time. See
// <https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/13814#issuecomment-5292709677>
fn merge_into<'life0, 'life1, 'async_trait>(...) -> BoxFuture<'async_trait, ...>This is a maintenance hazard: the lifetime bounds must exactly match what async_trait would generate, and any change to the trait signature requires manual updating. The linked issue justifies it, but consider adding a test that would fail if the expansion drifts (e.g., a compile-time check that the method is callable through the trait object).
14. merge_into_boxed takes &'a self and &'a dyn Session with the same lifetime
fn merge_into_boxed<'a>(
&'a self,
state: &'a dyn Session,
...
) -> BoxFuture<'a, Result<Arc<dyn ExecutionPlan>>>Tying self and state to the same lifetime is more restrictive than necessary and may cause borrow-checker friction for callers. The trait method uses separate 'life0/'life1. Consider matching that.
15. MergeIntoExec holds Arc<Mutex<Vec<Vec<SortExpr>>>> from MemTable
This couples the physical plan to the table's internal mutable state. If the plan is cloned and executed concurrently, the mutex serializes but the semantics are unclear. Consider whether sort order invalidation should be a separate concern.
16. expressions() returns impl Iterator but CompiledMergeAction::expressions returns Box<dyn Iterator>
Inconsistent. The Box<dyn Iterator> allocation is unnecessary here since the variants are known. Minor.
17. apply_expressions uses apply_expression_roots
Verify this correctly handles the fact that self.on and clause expressions are evaluated against different schemas (merge_schema vs empty_schema for defaults). apply_expression_roots typically assumes all expressions share a schema. If defaults are compiled against empty_schema, applying expression rewrites uniformly could be incorrect.
Display / Formatting
18. Display for MergeIntoOp omits clauses=[] when empty
if !self.clauses.is_empty() {
write!(f, " clauses=[")?;
...
}Inconsistent with the test expectation which always shows clauses. Minor, but the conditional makes output harder to parse. Consider always emitting clauses=[].
19. Display for MergeIntoAction::Insert with empty columns
if !columns.is_empty() {
write!(f, " ({})", columns.join(", "))?;
}Produces INSERT VALUES (...) when columns are empty — matches the SQL form. Good.
20. Display for MergeIntoClauseKind::NotMatched prints NOT MATCHED
The test expects WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT. But canonical() maps NotMatched → NotMatchedByTarget. The display uses the raw kind, so NotMatched prints as NOT MATCHED while NotMatchedByTarget prints as NOT MATCHED BY TARGET. This is correct for round-tripping user input, but be aware the two are semantically equivalent.
21. PG JSON output uses "Node Type": "Dml" (changed from "Projection")
This is a breaking change for any consumer parsing the JSON output. The previous value "Projection" was arguably wrong, but changing it may break downstream tools. Consider whether this needs a changelog entry or versioning.
Testing Gaps
22. No test for concurrent execution
Given the shared Arc<Mutex<...>> state and in-place mutation, a test executing the same plan twice (or concurrently) would be valuable.
23. No test for large inputs
The O(n²) matching won't be caught by the small test fixtures. Consider a benchmark or a test with a few thousand rows to catch performance regressions.
24. No test for NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE with UPDATE that changes the join key
If an update modifies the column used in ON, subsequent behavior is undefined. Worth documenting/testing.
25. null_pred_target test expects 0 rows affected with on null
merge into null_pred_target using null_pred_source on null
when matched then update set val = null_pred_source.val
when not matched and null then insert ...on null → predicate is NULL → no matches. when not matched and null → predicate NULL → no insert. Result 0. Correct, but the test name null_pred is vague.
Minor / Style
26. #[expect(clippy::needless_pass_by_value, ...)] on merge_into_boxed
The reason says "matches the TableProvider::merge_into signature", but merge_into_boxed is a private helper — it doesn't need to match the trait signature. The expect may be unnecessary; if it is needed, the reason is misleading.
27. available_column_names allocates a Vec<&str> on every error path
Only used in error messages. Fine, but could be lazy.
28. target_field does a linear scan per column
For wide tables with many assignments, this is O(columns × assignments). Consider building a name→index map once.
29. evaluate_merge_value casts the result
ScalarValue::try_from_array(array.as_ref(), 0)?.cast_to(data_type)The cast_to here is a second cast after the expression was already cast during compilation. Likely redundant but harmless; verify it's needed for Null handling.
30. Doc comment in merge_into.slt says "basic MemTable execution"
Accurate, but consider listing the specific limitations (no subqueries in ON, no UPDATE ... WHERE, etc.) directly in the slt file for discoverability.
Recommendations
- Fix the O(n²) matching before merging — this is the most impactful issue.
- Add an assertion in
evaluate_merge_predicatethatbatch.num_rows() == 1. - Document the
_partitionignore and thesort_orderinvalidation. - Reconsider the PG JSON
"Node Type"change — it's a breaking change. - Add a test for repeated execution / idempotency expectations.
- Verify
apply_expression_rootshandles the mixed-schema expressions correctly. - Consider extracting the row-based matching into a helper that can be optimized later without touching
execute_merge.

datafusion/catalog/src/memory/table.rs:1270 constructs this batch with merge_schema, which retains NOT NULL fields even though the unmatched paths deliberately supply an all-null target or source row. Arrow rejects that batch before predicates/actions run, so a valid WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE merge with a non-nullable source column (or WHEN NOT MATCHED with a non-nullable target column) fails instead of applying the clause.

Hold the partition write locks for the whole read-modify-write.
execute_merge takes read locks to snapshot the target rows (Lines 747-750), releases them, and only later takes write locks to replace the partitions (Lines 840-852). Any write that lands in that window is lost: a concurrent INSERT INTO through MemSink, or a concurrent UPDATE/DELETE, commits rows that are not in target_rows, and the merge then overwrites partition 0 and clears the remaining partitions. update_inner and delete_from_inner avoid this by keeping the write lock for each partition while they read and rewrite it.
Acquire the write guards once, before reading the rows, and keep them until the merged batch is stored.
🔒 Sketch of the lock ordering
// Acquire all partition write guards first, then read + rewrite under them.
let mut guards = Vec::with_capacity(self.batches.len());
for partition_data in &self.batches {
guards.push(partition_data.write().await);
}
let target_batches: Vec<ArrowRecordBatch> =
guards.iter().flat_map(|p| p.iter().cloned()).collect();
let target_rows = batches_to_rows(&target_batches)?;
// ... compute merged_batch ...

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
The match loop is quadratic and allocates a RecordBatch per row pair.
For every target row the loop walks every source row, and each pair calls combined_row_batch, which allocates one single-row array per column plus a RecordBatch, then evaluates self.on on that one row. Cost is O(target_rows × source_rows) expression evaluations and allocations. A merge of 100k target rows against 10k source rows performs 1e9 batch builds, which makes the statement effectively non-terminating.
Evaluate the predicate in a vectorized form instead. One workable shape is to build a single combined batch per target row that repeats the target values across all source rows, evaluate self.on once per target row, and read the resulting boolean mask. That reduces the evaluation count to O(target_rows) while keeping the same semantics, including the duplicate-match check.

Redistribute merged rows across existing partitions.
execute_merge preserves the partition count, but it places all rows in partition 0 and leaves the other partitions empty. A later scan still exposes the original partition count, but all useful scan work runs in one partition. DataSourceExec may split the large batch for output, but those batches remain in the same partition.
Redistribute the merged rows across the existing partitions. Chunking alone limits batch size but does not restore scan parallelism.

execute_merge’s partition-rewrite logic so merged rows are distributed across
all existing partitions rather than placing the entire merged_batch in the first
partition and clearing the rest. Preserve the existing partition count, split
rows into appropriately sized batches for each partition, and ensure empty
results leave partitions empty.

Reject omitted values for non-nullable columns during MERGE planning.
When a MERGE INSERT supplies a column list, an omitted target field without a default becomes CompiledInsertValue::Null, even when it is non-nullable. A matching row then reaches rows_to_batch, where ArrowRecordBatch::try_new fails during execution. Reject this during compilation with a column-specific planning error.
