Walkthrough

The PR updates all_neighbors batching defaults and validation, preserves GPU input for unbatched builds, adds cosine and inner_product support, adjusts graph-degree defaults, expands tests, and documents the changes in the 0.17.0 release notes.

Changes

All-neighbors behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Batching configuration and input routing
src/rapids_singlecell/preprocessing/_neighbors/..., tests/test_mg_neighbors.py
Batching defaults now scale with GPU count. Validation receives algorithm_kwds and selects host or GPU input paths based on batching. Tests cover defaults, overrides, and invalid overlap settings.
Metric and graph configuration
src/rapids_singlecell/preprocessing/_neighbors/_algorithms/_all_neighbors.py, src/rapids_singlecell/preprocessing/_neighbors/_helper/__init__.py, tests/test_mg_neighbors.py, docs/release-notes/0.17.0.md
all_neighbors supports additional metrics, passes resolved metrics to its indexes, and enforces NN-Descent graph-degree minimums. Tests cover recall for batched, cosine, and squared-Euclidean configurations. Release notes describe the updated behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0f679

The PR changes multGPU all-neighbors graph construction, but the current implementation can fail for explicit unset degree options and accepts invalid zero-valued batching settings. These concrete input-handling issues can break neighbor computation and should be fixed before merge; documentation and metric validation coverage also need follow-up.

Qualify metric support by all-neighbors subalgorithm.

This entry implies that every all_neighbors configuration supports cosine and inner_product. The IVF-PQ branch rejects both metrics and only accepts squared Euclidean. State that these metrics are available with algo="nn_descent", or state the IVF-PQ limitation.

As per path instructions, check accuracy of code examples and consistency with current code.

Document the actual intermediate graph-degree default.

The runtime uses max(128, int(1.5 * graph_degree)). For example, graph_degree=100 produces an intermediate degree of 150, not 128 as this text implies. Update the default description to include the 1.5 * graph_degree lower bound.

As per coding guidelines, public functions must have accurate docstrings with documented parameters and notes about GPU-specific behavior differences where relevant.

Validate batching values before returning them.

n_clusters=0 returns (0, 1) because Line 43 only rejects invalid values when n_clusters > 1. overlap_factor=0 also passes for a batched build. These values cannot describe a valid cluster assignment and reach AllNeighborsParams.

Require positive integer values for both settings before applying the relative bound. Preserve the single-cluster exception for (1, 1).

Treat explicit None as an unset graph-degree option.

When callers pass algorithm_kwds={"graph_degree": None} or {"intermediate_graph_degree": None}, Mapping.get() returns None. Line 92 or Line 96 then raises TypeError while evaluating max().

Use an explicit is None check to select the calculated default before applying the minimum degree.

As per coding guidelines, use is None or is not None for optional parameters instead of truthiness checks.

Add independent coverage for inner_product metric results.

The new inner_product path has no test. These tests also use rsc.pp.neighbors(..., algorithm="brute") as the reference, so they do not independently validate metric mapping or distance values.

Add an inner_product case and compare neighbor identities and distances with a SciPy, Scanpy, Squidpy, or Pertpy reference. Keep recall-based assertions for the approximate build.

As per coding guidelines, tests must validate numerical correctness against scanpy, squidpy, pertpy, or SciPy references rather than only checking that code runs.
