Use cuda::stream_ref in benchmarks and examples

[vyasr]

Description

This split batch migrates libcudf benchmarks, examples, and developer documentation from rmm::cuda_stream_view to cuda::stream_ref.

This follows the core libcudf API migration in #23691 and is part of the first downstream wave before the central helper migration.

Replaces the closed draft #23697.

Contributes to #23636

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Refactor

  • Updated CUDA stream handling across benchmarks and examples to use the current stream reference interface.
  • Standardized stream access and synchronization across benchmark, I/O, string, sorting, reduction, and analytics workflows.
  • Preserved existing benchmark behavior, default-stream handling, and asynchronous processing semantics.
  • Improved consistency when configuring and running CUDA-backed performance tests.

• Documentation

  • Updated developer documentation and code examples to reflect the current CUDA stream API.
  • Revised asynchronous operation guidance and public API examples for consistency.

Walkthrough

The pull request migrates CUDA stream handling from rmm::cuda_stream_view to cuda::stream_ref across benchmarks, examples, and documentation. It updates native stream accessors, synchronization calls, includes, default-stream construction, and SPDX copyright attributions.

Changes

CUDA stream migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Benchmark stream handling cpp/benchmarks/...	Benchmark APIs and local stream wrappers use cuda::stream_ref. NVBench setup uses value() where required. Synchronization calls and unused includes are updated.
Example stream handling cpp/examples/billion_rows/..., cpp/examples/hybrid_scan_io/..., cpp/examples/parquet_io/..., cpp/examples/parquet_inspect/...	Example APIs, stored stream fields, allocators, and I/O utilities use cuda::stream_ref. Native stream access and synchronization calls are updated.
String example stream handling cpp/examples/string_transforms/..., cpp/examples/strings/...	String examples construct cuda::stream_ref from cudaStreamLegacy, use get() for native CUDA calls, and update synchronization methods.
Documentation updates cpp/doxygen/developer_guide/*	Documentation examples and API guidance use cuda::stream_ref instead of rmm::cuda_stream_view.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 83c7d

The multithreaded Parquet example can terminate the process instead of reporting worker failures, and stream-migration follow-ups remain in benchmark, example, and documentation paths. The PR is not merge-ready until the exception-handling issue and correctness-related stream concerns are addressed, with documentation fixes completed or explicitly accepted.

🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5

✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Description check	✅ Passed	The description clearly explains the migration of benchmarks, examples, and documentation to cuda::stream_ref.
Title check	✅ Passed	The title clearly and concisely describes the main migration from rmm::cuda_stream_view to cuda::stream_ref.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	Docstring check was indeterminate for this PR — some files could not be analyzed in time. Not blocking.

Replace <cuda/stream_ref> with <cuda/stream>. CCCL 3.4.3 deprecates the old header and provides cuda::stream_ref through the new header.

Inline comments:
In `@cpp/benchmarks/ndsh/q09.cpp`:
- Line 110: Update both intermediate cudf::binary_operation calls in the
benchmark to pass the existing stream and mr arguments, ensuring their
operations and allocations use the caller-provided execution stream and memory
resource.

In `@cpp/doxygen/developer_guide/DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md`:
- Line 563: Complete the cuda::stream_ref migration in the developer guide:
replace the remaining .value/.value() accesses and direct kernel stream
arguments near the documented locations with .get(), change cuda_stream s to
auto s initialized via cudf::get_default_stream(), and retain sync() only where
host-side completion is required.

In `@cpp/examples/billion_rows/brc_pipeline.cpp`:
- Line 50: Update the synchronization logic in chunk_fn to use a supported
no-throw path for its cuda::stream_ref stream; do not call
synchronize_no_throw() or uncaught stream.sync(), and preserve the worker
thread’s non-terminating behavior by catching or otherwise safely handling
synchronization failures.

In `@cpp/examples/hybrid_scan_io/hybrid_scan_pipeline.cpp`:
- Line 106: Replace every synchronize_no_throw() call with stream.sync() in
cpp/examples/hybrid_scan_io/hybrid_scan_pipeline.cpp at lines 106-106,
cpp/examples/parquet_io/parquet_io_multithreaded.cpp at lines 62-62, and
cpp/examples/parquet_io/parquet_io_multithreaded.cpp at lines 154-154, using the
existing cuda::stream_ref stream.

In `@cpp/examples/parquet_inspect/parquet_inspect_utils.cpp`:
- Line 117: Replace all remaining stream.synchronize() calls in
make_index_column and the related code paths at the referenced locations with
stream.sync(), using the cuda::stream_ref API.

50-50: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔴 Critical

Migrate the worker-thread synchronization call.

Changing chunk_fn::stream to cuda::stream_ref leaves stream.synchronize_no_throw() at Line 85. cuda::stream_ref does not provide this member, so this file does not compile. Replace it with a supported synchronization path that preserves failure handling; an uncaught synchronization exception in the worker thread terminates the process.

Document the new stream parameter.

The Doxygen block documents io_source but not cuda::stream_ref stream.

Suggested documentation update

  * `@param` io_source io source to read
+ * `@param` stream CUDA stream to use
  * `@return` cudf::io::table_with_metadata

As per coding guidelines, run ./ci/checks/doxygen.sh for C++/CUDA documentation.

85-89: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Propagate worker exceptions to the caller.

read_fn::operator() runs directly as a std::thread entry function. stream.sync() throws on synchronization failure, and any uncaught worker exception calls std::terminate(). Catch exceptions around the worker body, store the first std::exception_ptr under synchronization, join all workers, and rethrow it from read_parquet_multithreaded.
