+//! A temporary fork of DataFusion's `UnnestExec` that respects
+//! `datafusion.execution.batch_size`.
+//!
+//! # Why this fork exists
+//!
+//! DataFusion's `UnnestExec` emits exactly one output batch per input batch, 
however many
+//! rows the unnesting produces, and never consults `batch_size`. For 
`explode` this means
+//! an 8192-row batch of 100-element arrays comes back as a single 819,200-row 
batch, and
+//! peak memory scales with input batch size times array length rather than 
with
+//! `batch_size`.
+//!
+//! The fix has been submitted upstream:
+//!
+//! * <https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/24383>
+//! * <https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/24384>
+//!
+//! # Deleting this file
+//!
+//! Once Comet moves to a DataFusion release carrying apache/datafusion#24384, 
delete this
+//! module and go back to `datafusion::physical_plan::unnest::UnnestExec` in 
the planner.
+//!
+//! Note that <https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/issues/5210> is a 
*different*
+//! unnest cleanup — it tracks adopting upstream `unnest_outer`
+//! (apache/datafusion#22100) to retire `ListEmptyToNullExpr`. The two 
upstream PRs can
+//! land in different releases, so closing 5210 is not a signal to delete this 
fork.
+//!
+//! # What was forked
+//!
+//! The unnesting kernels below (`build_batch` and everything it calls) are 
copied from
+//! `datafusion/physical-plan/src/unnest.rs` at DataFusion 54.1.0, upstream 
revision
+//! `cc7565be1ee97ba8fa2f5d6da373c5e38d81bb13`. They are private to
+//! `datafusion-physical-plan`, so they cannot be called from here without 
copying them.
+//! Leave them semantically unmodified so the eventual deletion is mechanical; 
the
+//! Comet-specific behavior lives entirely in `ExplodeExec` and 
`ExplodeStream`.
+//!
+//! They are not byte-identical to upstream: Comet's rustfmt uses `max_width = 
100` and
+//! edition 2021, DataFusion's uses `max_width = 90` and edition 2024, so 
`cargo fmt`
+//! reflows some signatures. To audit for real changes, reformat this region at
+//! `max_width = 90` and diff it against upstream `unnest.rs`; that reduces 
the difference
+//! to a single cosmetic line wrap in `flatten_struct_cols`. The only 
deliberate edits are
+//! the `lt` import path noted below and dropping upstream's `ListUnnest` 
declaration in
+//! favor of importing the public one.
+//!
+//! Note that 54.1.0 predates upstream's `NullHandling` enum and still uses
+//! `UnnestOptions::preserve_nulls`, which is why the planner wraps empty 
arrays with
+//! `ListEmptyToNullExpr` to get Spark's `explode_outer` semantics.

Review Comment:
   **[P1] Release the exhausted child before returning EOF**
   
   Could we restore the EOF cleanup from DataFusion's `UnnestStream` here? The 
original operator replaces `self.input` with `EmptyRecordBatchStream` when the 
child is exhausted. Without that, a real `HashJoin -> Projection -> Explode -> 
ShuffleWriter` plan keeps the partitioned hash join's build table and 
`MemoryReservation` alive while `shuffle_write()` finalizes. 
`ParquetWriterExec` similarly retains the input through `writer.close()`. This 
can force avoidable spills or out-of-memory failures when those writers need 
the memory. A child stream with a drop guard or reservation would make a useful 
regression test.

Review Comment:
   **[P2] Reuse the list lengths already computed for chunking**
   
   Could we keep the predicted lengths as an Arrow `PrimitiveArray<Int64Type>` 
and pass zero-copy slices into `build_batch`? `predict_output_lens` already 
runs `length`, `cast`, `is_not_null`, and `zip` over every input row, but 
converts the result into `Vec<usize>`. `list_unnest_at_level` then runs the 
same kernels again for every chunk. This duplicates work even when no split is 
needed, and `posexplode` repeats it across both list columns. The linked 
upstream fix already reuses the precomputed chunk lengths.

+//! A temporary fork of DataFusion's `UnnestExec` that respects
+//! `datafusion.execution.batch_size`.
+//!
+//! # Why this fork exists
+//!
+//! DataFusion's `UnnestExec` emits exactly one output batch per input batch, 
however many
+//! rows the unnesting produces, and never consults `batch_size`. For 
`explode` this means
+//! an 8192-row batch of 100-element arrays comes back as a single 819,200-row 
batch, and
+//! peak memory scales with input batch size times array length rather than 
with
+//! `batch_size`.
+//!
+//! The fix has been submitted upstream:
+//!
+//! * <https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/24383>
+//! * <https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/24384>
+//!
+//! # Deleting this file
+//!
+//! Once Comet moves to a DataFusion release carrying apache/datafusion#24384, 
delete this
+//! module and go back to `datafusion::physical_plan::unnest::UnnestExec` in 
the planner.
+//!
+//! Note that <https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/issues/5210> is a 
*different*
+//! unnest cleanup — it tracks adopting upstream `unnest_outer`
+//! (apache/datafusion#22100) to retire `ListEmptyToNullExpr`. The two 
upstream PRs can
+//! land in different releases, so closing 5210 is not a signal to delete this 
fork.
+//!
+//! # What was forked
+//!
+//! The unnesting kernels below (`build_batch` and everything it calls) are 
copied from
+//! `datafusion/physical-plan/src/unnest.rs` at DataFusion 54.1.0, upstream 
revision
+//! `cc7565be1ee97ba8fa2f5d6da373c5e38d81bb13`. They are private to
+//! `datafusion-physical-plan`, so they cannot be called from here without 
copying them.
+//! Leave them semantically unmodified so the eventual deletion is mechanical; 
the
+//! Comet-specific behavior lives entirely in `ExplodeExec` and 
`ExplodeStream`.
+//!
+//! They are not byte-identical to upstream: Comet's rustfmt uses `max_width = 
100` and
+//! edition 2021, DataFusion's uses `max_width = 90` and edition 2024, so 
`cargo fmt`
+//! reflows some signatures. To audit for real changes, reformat this region at
+//! `max_width = 90` and diff it against upstream `unnest.rs`; that reduces 
the difference
+//! to a single cosmetic line wrap in `flatten_struct_cols`. The only 
deliberate edits are
+//! the `lt` import path noted below and dropping upstream's `ListUnnest` 
declaration in
+//! favor of importing the public one.
+//!
+//! Note that 54.1.0 predates upstream's `NullHandling` enum and still uses
+//! `UnnestOptions::preserve_nulls`, which is why the planner wraps empty 
arrays with
+//! `ListEmptyToNullExpr` to get Spark's `explode_outer` semantics.

Review Comment:
   **[P2] Drop consumed input before yielding its final output batch**
   
   Could we clear `pending_input` immediately after `pending.row_offset` 
consumes its final row, before yielding output? As written, the final batch is 
returned while the full source `RecordBatch`, predicted lengths, and any 
full-batch `posexplode` positions remain live until the next poll. The upstream 
implementation checks whether the input is drained and drops `pending_input` 
before emitting. Preserving that order avoids holding the entire input during 
downstream or JVM processing of the final batch.

+//! A temporary fork of DataFusion's `UnnestExec` that respects
+//! `datafusion.execution.batch_size`.
+//!
+//! # Why this fork exists
+//!
+//! DataFusion's `UnnestExec` emits exactly one output batch per input batch, 
however many
+//! rows the unnesting produces, and never consults `batch_size`. For 
`explode` this means
+//! an 8192-row batch of 100-element arrays comes back as a single 819,200-row 
batch, and
+//! peak memory scales with input batch size times array length rather than 
with
+//! `batch_size`.
+//!
+//! The fix has been submitted upstream:
+//!
+//! * <https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/24383>
+//! * <https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/24384>
+//!
+//! # Deleting this file
+//!
+//! Once Comet moves to a DataFusion release carrying apache/datafusion#24384, 
delete this
+//! module and go back to `datafusion::physical_plan::unnest::UnnestExec` in 
the planner.
+//!
+//! Note that <https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/issues/5210> is a 
*different*
+//! unnest cleanup — it tracks adopting upstream `unnest_outer`
+//! (apache/datafusion#22100) to retire `ListEmptyToNullExpr`. The two 
upstream PRs can
+//! land in different releases, so closing 5210 is not a signal to delete this 
fork.
+//!
+//! # What was forked
+//!
+//! The unnesting kernels below (`build_batch` and everything it calls) are 
copied from
+//! `datafusion/physical-plan/src/unnest.rs` at DataFusion 54.1.0, upstream 
revision
+//! `cc7565be1ee97ba8fa2f5d6da373c5e38d81bb13`. They are private to
+//! `datafusion-physical-plan`, so they cannot be called from here without 
copying them.
+//! Leave them semantically unmodified so the eventual deletion is mechanical; 
the
+//! Comet-specific behavior lives entirely in `ExplodeExec` and 
`ExplodeStream`.
+//!
+//! They are not byte-identical to upstream: Comet's rustfmt uses `max_width = 
100` and
+//! edition 2021, DataFusion's uses `max_width = 90` and edition 2024, so 
`cargo fmt`
+//! reflows some signatures. To audit for real changes, reformat this region at
+//! `max_width = 90` and diff it against upstream `unnest.rs`; that reduces 
the difference
+//! to a single cosmetic line wrap in `flatten_struct_cols`. The only 
deliberate edits are
+//! the `lt` import path noted below and dropping upstream's `ListUnnest` 
declaration in
+//! favor of importing the public one.
+//!
+//! Note that 54.1.0 predates upstream's `NullHandling` enum and still uses
+//! `UnnestOptions::preserve_nulls`, which is why the planner wraps empty 
arrays with
+//! `ListEmptyToNullExpr` to get Spark's `explode_outer` semantics.

Review Comment:
   **[P2] Preserve physical properties for passthrough columns**
   
   Could we preserve the projected physical properties from the original 
`UnnestExec::compute_properties`? It retains ordering and equivalences for 
passthrough columns, but starting from empty `EquivalenceProperties` loses 
them. For `SortMergeJoin -> Explode -> GROUP BY k`, a sorted passthrough key 
`k` now makes the downstream `AggregateExec` choose `InputOrderMode::Linear` 
instead of `Sorted`, so groups accumulate or spill instead of streaming. This 
increases memory consumption and runtime on existing native plans.
