Description

Draft, opening the work for #1817. It now produces a working self-contained classifier JAR: a solve runs from the JAR alone, with no libcuopt, no conda environment and no -Dcuopt.native.dir. CI now builds and tests all four classifiers (CUDA 12/13 × amd64/arm64) end to end.

=== jar + CUDA math libs only ===
status    = OPTIMAL
objective = 5.0
take_0    = 1.0

Result

Real multi-arch CI build, all classifiers, with routing and gRPC excluded:

classifier size
cuopt-26.10.0-cuda12.jar (amd64) 944 MB
cuopt-26.10.0-cuda12-arm64.jar 942 MB
cuopt-26.10.0-cuda13.jar (amd64) 609 MB
cuopt-26.10.0-cuda13-arm64.jar 658 MB

CUDA 12 classifiers carry a larger fatbin and a larger libnccl.so.2/libcudss.so.0, so they land close to Sonatype's 1 GB per-bundle limit on their own. Bundling more than one classifier together is not viable at this size; see open question 2.

Packaged libraries beside libcuopt_jni.so (amd64/cuda12, representative): libnccl.so.2 (672 MB), libcudss.so.0 (103 MB), libstdc++.so.6 (22 MB), libgomp.so.1/librmm.so (~1 MB each), libcudss_mtlayer_gomp.so.0/libgcc_s.so.1/libtbb.so.12/librapids_logger.so (<1 MB each).

What static linking actually removed, and what it did not

-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF does not work here: cuopt is declared add_library(cuopt SHARED ...), so the flag is ignored. cuopt_static already existed but only inside if (BUILD_TESTS); it is now gated on BUILD_TESTS OR CUOPT_BUILD_STATIC_LIB.

Linking that archive removed the dependency on libcuopt.so, but not on libraries cuOpt itself needs that conda ships only as shared objects, or that are dlopen()'d/ABI-sensitive at runtime rather than link-time. Each appeared as a separate failure, one per rebuild or CI environment:

  1. _ZTIN3rmm10_RMM_26_109bad_allocE — rmm's exception typeinfo
  2. tbb::detail::r1::throw_exception — TBB, via KaMinPar
  3. ncclGroupStart — NCCL
  4. cudssDestroy — cuDSS
  5. cuDSS's OpenMP threading backend (libcudss_mtlayer_gomp.so.0), dlopen()'d by cudssSetThreadingLayer rather than linked
  6. libgomp.so.1, libstdc++.so.6, libgcc_s.so.1 — the build host's GCC runtime, whose symbol versions can be newer than a consumer's own (observed on Rocky Linux 8)

All are linked/packaged beside the JNI library, resolved through its $ORIGIN RPATH.

NCCL

NCCL cannot be reached from Java: pdhg.hpp holds multi_gpu_engine_t* as a forward-declared pointer defaulting to nullptr, and the whole surface is 14 symbols across 5 files under cpp/src/pdlp/distributed_pdlp/.

Findings from investigating whether it could be linked statically instead:

  • conda's nccl ships no static archive — only libnccl.so{,.2,.2.30.7}, libnccl_device.bc and a pkgconfig file. libnccl_static.a exists only in apt's libnccl-dev, which would mean sourcing one dependency from apt while the rest comes from conda.
  • static is not smaller anyway: in nvidia/cuda:13.0.3-devel, libnccl_static.a is 190 MB against 181 MB for the shared library. NCCL's bulk is per-architecture device code, which comes along either way.
  • NCCL is not part of the CUDA toolkit. nvidia/cuda:13.0.3-base has none; the devel image gets it from the libnccl2 apt package at /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, not /usr/local/cuda/lib64. So it cannot be treated as consumer-supplied the way cuBLAS can.
  • It is a hard dependency in dependencies.yaml for both paths — nccl >=2.19 under build_cpp, nvidia-nccl-cu1{2,3}>=2.19 under cuda_wheels. There is no build in which cuOpt does without it.

So it is bundled as a shared library for now. The size win is not in how it is linked but in not needing it: a switch to compile out distributed PDLP, or loading NCCL lazily through dlopen, would cut roughly a third off every classifier's size. cpp/CMakeLists.txt has no such switch today, unlike SKIP_ROUTING_BUILD and SKIP_GRPC_BUILD.

CI

java-static-build runs ci/build_java_static.sh (static libcuopt, static link, package, verify) across a CUDA 12/13 × amd64/arm64 matrix; java-static-test then runs the full suite against each packaged classifier JAR on a GPU, with nothing but a JDK and Maven installed and no libcuopt present. Both are wired into build.yaml/pr.yaml, gated on the same file groups as java-build, and part of the pr-builder aggregator.

verify_jar_dependencies.sh is the check worth having: it reads DT_NEEDED for every packaged library and allows only what is inside the JAR, provided by the CUDA toolkit, or part of the base system — resolving against a library directory instead would make any JAR look self-contained just because the build environment happens to have everything installed.

ERROR: the JAR is not self-contained. Unsatisfied dependencies:
  libcuopt_jni.so needs libnccl.so.2

It also fails if libcuopt.so reappears in DT_NEEDED (the static link silently falling back to shared), or if readelf can't read anything at all.

Maven Central rate-limits NVIDIA's shared CI IP range org-wide (build-infra#370); this now prefers the GCS mirror of Central, the same fix kvikio#992 applied.

Not regressed

The shared libcuopt path is untouched. CUOPT_STATIC_BUILD_DIR and CUOPT_BUILD_STATIC_LIB are both empty/off by default, -Dcuopt.native.dir is still the loader's first strategy, and the existing (unclassified-JAR) java-build suite passes unchanged in CI.

Open questions

  1. Should distributed PDLP be compilable out, or NCCL loaded lazily? Biggest size win, and it fixes libcuopt failing to load on a plain CUDA runtime image.
  2. Do classifier JARs upload to Maven Central separately, or as one bundle? At ~940 MB, even two CUDA-12 classifiers together exceed the 1 GB limit — tracked on build-infra#379.

Checklist

  • I am familiar with the Contributing Guidelines.
  • Testing
    • Self-contained JAR built, verified, and run -- all 4 classifiers, in CI
    • verify_jar_dependencies.sh tested against a deliberately broken JAR
    • Multi-arch (amd64/arm64) measured and passing in CI
  • Documentation
    • Deferred until the approach is confirmed

cuopt_static existed only inside the BUILD_TESTS block, because the internal
tests were its only consumer. Embedding cuOpt into a single self-contained
shared object needs the same archive, so it is now gated on BUILD_TESTS or a
new CUOPT_BUILD_STATIC_LIB option, with the tests block left to add_subdirectory
alone.

build_static_libcuopt.sh builds that archive scoped to what the Java bindings
expose — no routing, no gRPC — and reports its size. The shared libcuopt is
554 MB against 29 DT_NEEDED entries, and Maven Central caps an upload bundle
at 1 GB, so the measurement decides whether self-contained classifier JARs are
feasible at all.

Contributes to #1817.

A published JAR is the only thing a consumer installs, so the library has to
come out of it. NativeLibraryLoader keeps -Dcuopt.native.dir first for a
library built from source, then falls back to a copy embedded in the JAR, then
to the library path. The embedded copy is extracted once per user and reused
when the size already matches, since re-extracting hundreds of megabytes on
every JVM start would dominate startup.

build_cuopt_java_jar.sh packages one classifier, placing the library where the
loader looks. It refuses a library that still carries a DT_NEEDED on
libcuopt.so: that loads on the build machine and fails for a consumer who
installed nothing else, which is the whole failure this is meant to remove.

The POM gains a classifier and a native-resource directory, both empty by
default so the source build and the test suite are unchanged.

Contributes to #1817.

Linking libcuopt_static.a into cuopt_jni removes the dependency on
libcuopt.so, but not on the libraries cuOpt itself needs and conda ships only
as shared objects. Each surfaced as an UnsatisfiedLinkError in turn: rmm's
exception typeinfo, TBB via KaMinPar, NCCL, then cuDSS. They are linked and
packaged beside the JNI library, which finds them through its $ORIGIN RPATH,
and the loader lays them out before loading it.

NCCL is 279 MB of the 405 MB result and is only needed for distributed PDLP,
which a Java JAR cannot reach. cpp/CMakeLists.txt has no switch to compile
that path out; adding one is the single biggest size win available.

The shared libcuopt path is untouched: CUOPT_STATIC_BUILD_DIR is empty by
default, cuopt.native.dir is still tried first, and the source build still
passes 35/35.

Contributes to #1817.

ci/build_java_static.sh runs the whole path — static libcuopt, static link,
packaging — and then checks the result. java-static-build runs it alongside
java-build, which still covers the shared libcuopt path.

verify_jar_dependencies.sh is the check worth having. Every missing library
found while getting this working (rmm, TBB, NCCL, cuDSS) appeared only as an
UnsatisfiedLinkError at run time, because the build environment supplies them
all and the JAR looks fine there. It reads DT_NEEDED and allows only what is
packaged in the JAR, provided by the CUDA toolkit, or part of the base system.

Reading DT_NEEDED rather than resolving against a library directory matters:
the first version pointed ldd at the conda prefix and passed a JAR with
libnccl.so.2 deleted, since the prefix contains it either way.

Contributes to #1817.

The job was only in build.yaml, which runs on branch and nightly builds, so it
would never have run on the PR proposing it. pr.yaml now runs it too, gated on
the same test_java and test_cpp file groups as java-build and included in the
pr-builder aggregator so a failure fails the PR.

It runs on cpu16 rather than a GPU node: the job compiles the JAR and inspects
its dependencies, but does not execute it.

A publishing workflow consumes a Maven repository tree, so the shape is fixed
here rather than left to whatever downloads these JARs.

assemble_maven_repo.sh gathers the classifier JARs, the POM renamed from
pom.xml to cuopt-<version>.pom, and the sources and javadoc JARs that Maven
Central requires, into com/nvidia/cuopt/cuopt/<version>/. It reads the version
from a JAR name so the layout can only describe artifacts that exist, and
refuses a non-empty output directory so a stale tree cannot be published.

java-static-build uploads that tree as cuopt_java_maven_repo.

Requested by @paul-aiyedun for the nightly Sonatype snapshot workflow in
rapidsai/build-infra#379.

CI Test Summary

✅ All 31 test job(s) passed.

java-static-build now runs as a matrix over CUDA major and architecture,
producing cuda12, cuda12-arm64, cuda13 and cuda13-arm64, each uploaded as
cuopt_java_<arch>_cu<major>. java-static-gather downloads them and assembles
one cuopt_java_maven_repo artifact, which is what a publishing workflow
consumes.

Standardized on cuDF's conventions while doing so: argparse.sh gives the
scripts one way to reject a missing or empty flag, the matrix comes from
compute-matrix.yaml filtered to one entry per arch and CUDA major, and each
classifier directory carries its own POM, sources and javadoc JARs so the
gather step can work from those directories alone.

CI measured the first classifier at 599 MB, against 405 MB locally: the
difference is libcuopt_jni.so growing from 173 MB to 371 MB once every CUDA
architecture is built. Four classifiers therefore exceed the 1 GB Maven Central
bundle limit together, though each fits individually.

Testing the packaged JAR with a bespoke smoke test would have covered a
fraction of what the suite already covers, so java-static-test runs the suite
itself through a packaged-jar-tests profile, following cuDF's
ci/test_packaged_java.sh. Main compilation is skipped so the JAR supplies both
the classes and the native libraries, and the artifact is fetched with
rapids-download-from-github rather than gh, which is what handles the
pull-request and nightly cases.

Two things this found.

NativeTestSupport.assumeNativeLibrary required cuopt.native.dir, which encodes
"a native library means a source build". Run against a classifier JAR the suite
reported 35 found, 14 passed, 21 aborted — silently skipping every native test,
in the configuration where they matter most. It now accepts either route.

PackagedJarOriginCheck asserts the classes and the embedded library really came
from a JAR, because a stray target/classes on the classpath would shadow it and
the run would pass while testing the wrong thing. Confirmed it fails when
cuopt.native.dir is set to bypass the JAR. It matches none of surefire's
default name patterns, so the profile names it explicitly.

Against a classifier JAR: 38/38. From source, unchanged at 35/35, with the
origin check excluded.

rapids-check-pr-job-dependencies requires every job to be a dependency of
pr-builder. The build, test and gather jobs were listed but the matrix job that
feeds them was not, so the checks job failed. pr-test-summary remains the only
job outside the aggregator, which is expected and already ignored.

All four java-static-test jobs failed resolving maven-source-plugin from Maven
Central with a 429. cuopt_mvn exists to retry exactly that, but the packaging
and test scripts called mvn directly and so never got it.

The version is now read from the POM's update marker instead of by invoking
Maven. That removes a network round trip from the packaging step, and avoids
capturing the wrapper's merged stderr into the version string.

cuOpt's C++ logger writes console output directly to std::cout when
log_to_console is enabled (the common case), bypassing Java's
System.out entirely. In the Java bindings, that raw write to the
process's native stdout stream corrupts Maven Surefire's forked-JVM
IPC protocol, which also uses stdout as its channel -- intermittently
turning a passing test run into a reported "VM crash" depending on
whether a log line happens to interleave with a protocol frame.
Reproduced locally: NativeIntegrationTest's PDLP/MIP solves reliably
trigger Surefire's "Corrupted channel by directly writing to native
stream" warning, occasionally escalating to a hard failure.

Add a console-sink override hook to the shared logger
(set_console_log_callback), used only when a caller registers one;
behavior for the Python, C, CLI, and server bindings is unchanged.
The Java JNI layer registers a callback that forwards each log line to
a new NativeLogSink.onLogLine, which writes it through System.out --
letting Surefire (and any other System.out interceptor, e.g. a
redirect or logging bridge) see it like ordinary Java output instead
of a raw native write.

Known residual gap: PSLP, a vendored third-party presolver linked
into libcuopt, prints its own status lines directly via printf and
does not go through cuopt's logger, so it is not covered by this
callback. It surfaces far less often than the fix's scope (only a
short presolve status line, versus the solver's console banner and
progress log on every solve), but is a separate, harder fix
(patching or forking the vendored library) tracked separately.

Root-caused the residual Corrupted channel failures still hitting
java-static-test after the NativeLogSink fix: PSLP v0.0.11's
run_presolver() gates every other console message behind
stgs->verbose (print_start_message, print_end_message), but calls
print_infeas_or_unbnd_message() unconditionally when it detects the
problem is infeasible or unbounded. cuOpt already sets verbose =
false when calling PSLP (third_party_presolve.cpp), specifically to
keep it silent, so this one line slips through despite that and
writes straight to the process's native stdout -- bypassing
System.out exactly like the raw write NativeLogSink was built to
intercept, and corrupting Surefire's forked-JVM protocol the same
way.

The infeasible/unbounded status itself is unaffected: it already
flows back to the caller through run_presolver()'s typed return
value, not by parsing this printed text, so cuOpt's own (properly
routed) status reporting is unchanged.

Filed and fixed upstream: dance858/PSLP#55.
Until a release containing it is available, patch the vendored
v0.0.11 source at fetch time via a new PATCH_COMMAND on PSLP's
FetchContent_Declare.

Verified locally: rebuilt libcuopt_static + the JNI layer with the
patch applied (confirmed via the fetched source) and ran the full
Java suite, including ProblemIntegrationTest's infeasible-solve case
which is what triggers this code path, 50 times in a loop. Every run
passed with zero "Corrupted channel" occurrences (previously this
reproduced on the very first attempt).

NVIDIA-managed GitHub Actions runners egress through a small, shared NAT'd
IP range, so every RAPIDS repo's Java CI shares the same rate-limit budget
against Maven Central (rapidsai/build-infra#370): cuDF, cuVS, cuVS-lucene,
and kvikio have all hit the same 429s we're seeing on exec-maven-plugin.
kvikio#992 fixed it there by preferring the read-only GCS mirror of Central
(the same one Apache ORC/Lucene/Spark use) with Central as fallback.
Applying the same fix here. Verified locally: every plugin, including
exec-maven-plugin, now resolves from the GCS mirror.

…ing (#1835)

## Summary

- `java-static-test` (from #1818) and, less often, `java-build` have hit `429 Too Many Requests` from Maven Central while resolving plugins like `maven-source-plugin` on a cold repository. `cuopt_mvn`'s retry loop (fixed in #1823 to actually run under `set -e`) retries the whole `mvn` invocation with backoff, but that's compensating for Maven's own resolver never being tuned for CI -- 4 attempts don't reliably outlast a sustained rate-limit window, and by the time the outer wrapper retries, the burst of parallel requests that likely triggered the 429 in the first place repeats.
- cuDF and cuVS already carry a fix for this exact problem in their own Java/Maven builds: a project-level `.mvn/maven.config`, auto-applied to every `mvn` invocation with no wrapper script needed, that caps concurrent downloads and adds a real backoff inside Maven's own transport-layer retry handler.

## Fix

Add `java/cuopt/.mvn/maven.config`, matching cuDF's (`java/.mvn/maven.config`) and cuVS's (`java/cuvs-java/.mvn/maven.config`) content exactly:

```
-e
-B
-Daether.connector.basic.downstreamThreads=1
-Daether.transport.http.retryHandler.count=5
-Daether.transport.http.retryHandler.interval=10000
-Dmaven.wagon.http.retryHandler.count=5
```

- `aether.connector.basic.downstreamThreads=1` caps Maven's own concurrent download threads, reducing the burst of parallel requests against Maven Central that likely triggers the rate-limiting in the first place.
- `aether.transport.http.retryHandler.interval=10000` adds a real 10s backoff inside Maven's own resolver, at the **transport** layer.

`cuopt_mvn`'s existing `-D` flags (`java/cuopt/scripts/maven.sh`) target the **connector**-layer retry handler (`aether.connector.http.retryHandler.*`), which recent Maven resolver versions may no longer consult now that retry logic lives at the transport layer -- this adds the layer that actually gets read. Verified via:

```
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-help-plugin:3.4.0:evaluate \
  -Dexpression=aether.transport.http.retryHandler.interval -q -DforceStdout
# -> 10000
```

`cuopt_mvn`'s outer shell-level retry loop is left in place as a second layer -- it's still useful for failures Maven's own retry can't cover (network drops mid-request, etc).

## Test plan

- [x] Confirmed the property resolves correctly via `maven-help-plugin:evaluate` (see above).
- [x] Ran the full `packaged-jar-tests` Maven Java suite locally with this config present; passes cleanly.
- [ ] `java-build` and `java-static-test` CI run clean without hitting Maven Central 429s.

Split out of #1818, where this was found while investigating an unrelated flaky Surefire crash -- this fix is independently useful for the existing `java-build` job today, not specific to that PR's self-contained classifier JAR work.

The PR changes native loading to extract and reuse bundled libraries from a shared per-user cache. At the current head, insufficient cache permission checks and size-only reuse could allow unintended native code or mixed-version libraries to be loaded by concurrent processes, creating a concrete security and runtime risk that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

69-74: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Filter the version-probe JAR the same way line 89 filters.

find -print -quit returns an arbitrary match. The sed pattern at line 74 requires a classifier segment, so a plain cuopt-<version>.jar in JARS_DIR makes VERSION equal the basename and aborts at line 75, even though every classifier JAR is present. Excluding the non-classifier names here matches the filter already used at line 89.

all three uses consistently without changing the inherited permissions or job

In `@ci/test_java_static.sh`:
- Line 51: Update the Maven download flow in ci/test_java_static.sh to verify
the archive using a trusted Apache signature or repository-trusted checksum
before extraction. Ensure verification fails closed and extraction only runs
after successful validation, using the existing MAVEN_VERSION-based archive
naming.

- Line 15: Replace the namespace-scope g_console_callback_mutex with a

- Around line 89-106: Update the dependency verification script to fail when
readelf is unavailable or any readelf dependency scan fails, rather than

restrictive-permission, and symlink checks rather than reusing the predictable
user-named path, and validate existing extracted libraries by comparing their
cryptographic digest with the packaged resource instead of only their size
before returning them for loading.

Not addressed: all 17 other references to rapidsai/shared-workflows reusable workflows in this file already use @main, matching the convention every other RAPIDS repo (cuDF, cuVS, kvikio) uses for these same workflows. Pinning only these 3 new lines to a SHA would be inconsistent with the rest of the file without meaningfully improving security, since the other 17 would remain floating.

Comment thread ci/test_java_static.sh Outdated
Comment thread cpp/src/math_optimization/console_log_callback.cpp Outdated
Comment thread java/cuopt/ci/verify_jar_dependencies.sh
- ci/test_java_static.sh: verify the downloaded Maven tarball against
  Apache's published SHA-512 before extracting it.
- console_log_callback.cpp: move the callback mutex to function-local
  static storage instead of a non-trivially-destructible namespace-scope
  global, per repo coding guidelines.
- verify_jar_dependencies.sh: fail loudly if readelf is missing or yields
  no DT_NEEDED entries at all, instead of silently reporting a vacuous
  self-contained pass.
- assemble_maven_repo.sh: exclude sources/javadoc JARs from the
  version-probe lookup, matching the classifier lookup below it.
- NativeLibraryLoader.java: harden the shared extraction directory
  (reject symlinks, require same-owner reuse, restrict permissions on
  creation) and verify cached native libraries by SHA-256 digest rather
  than size alone before reusing them.

Not addressed: pinning the three rapidsai/shared-workflows@main references
in build.yaml to commit SHAs. Every other reference to those reusable
workflows in this file (17 of them) already uses @main, matching the
convention every other RAPIDS repo's CI uses for the same workflows;
pinning only the 3 lines this PR touches would be inconsistent without
actually improving security, since the other 17 remain floating.

Addressed in 651e791:

  • Maven tarball download now verified against Apache's published SHA-512 before extraction.
  • console_log_callback.cpp: mutex moved to function-local static storage.
  • verify_jar_dependencies.sh: now fails if readelf is missing or yields zero DT_NEEDED entries, instead of silently passing.
  • assemble_maven_repo.sh: version-probe JAR lookup now excludes sources/javadoc JARs, matching the classifier lookup below it.
  • NativeLibraryLoader.java: extraction directory is now checked for symlinks/ownership and created with owner-only permissions; cached native libraries are now verified by SHA-256 digest instead of size alone.

Not addressed: pinning the three rapidsai/shared-workflows@main references in build.yaml to commit SHAs. All 17 other references to those same reusable workflows in this file already use @main, which matches the convention every other RAPIDS repo (cuDF, cuVS, kvikio) uses for these same workflows.

The digest-based comparison added a full SHA-256 read of both the packaged
resource and any existing cached copy on every JVM startup, defeating much
of the point of caching the (hundreds-of-megabytes) extracted library in
the first place. privateExtractionDirectory() already closes the actual
attack this was guarding against -- a same-size file planted by another
local user -- by refusing to reuse the directory unless it's private to
the current OS user. With that in place, a plain size check is enough.

Java Files.createDirectories existing symbolic link follows link isDirectory FileAlreadyExistsException official documentation

💡 Result:

In Java, the Files.createDirectories method is designed to create a directory along with any necessary non-existent parent directories [1][2]. According to official documentation, it does not throw a FileAlreadyExistsException if the directory already exists [1][3]. However, historically, a known issue (tracked as JDK-8294193) caused Files.createDirectories to unexpectedly throw a FileAlreadyExistsException when the path provided was a symbolic link pointing to an existing directory [4][5][6]. This behavior contradicted the expected functionality, as a symbolic link to a directory should be treated as an existing directory [7]. This issue was addressed in OpenJDK (for example, in JDK 21 and subsequent versions) [6]. In environments where this fix is applied, the method correctly recognizes a symbolic link pointing to a directory as an existing directory and does not throw the exception [6]. If you encounter a FileAlreadyExistsException when using a symbolic link, it indicates you are likely using a version of the JDK that predates this fix, or the underlying filesystem behavior is causing the method to fail during its internal check [4][7]. Regarding symbolic links more broadly, Files.createDirectories follows symbolic links by default to reach the target [1][2]. The method does not provide an option to disable this link-following behavior for the creation process itself [1][8].

Reachability: External · Exploitability: Difficult

Create the extraction directory atomically and fail closed.

Files.createDirectories follows a symlink to an existing directory. A local attacker can insert one after the NOFOLLOW_LINKS check, causing extraction and System.load to use an attacker-controlled path. Use Files.createDirectory, revalidate after FileAlreadyExistsException, and fail closed when ownership or restrictive permissions cannot be verified.
