bug: Strange behavior using .cache method

[augcollet]

What happened?

Hello,

As explained in another thread, I encounter some issues using Ibis quite intensively across different modules; but I usually can't reproduce the issues I encounter in minimal reproducible cases.

While doing various tests, I still managed to observe some strange behavior during the construction of a minimal script using .cache() features.

In the following example below, I build 2 tables that I cache directly. When I display them, the first table is empty but it should not be:

When I deactivate the first .cache, it is the second table that is considered empty:

If I deactivate the 2 .cache, both tables are correct:

Strangely still: if I activate the 2 .cache but I use an .execute on the first table BEFORE creating the second table, both tables are correct:

And finally, if I activate the 2 .cache but I use an .execute on the first table AFTER creating the second, the first table is considered empty:

Here is base code I use :

import ibis
import os
from ibis import _

con=ibis.postgres.connect(
    user=os.getenv('POSTGRES_USER'),
    password=os.getenv('POSTGRES_PASSWORD'),
    host="postgres",
    port=os.getenv('POSTGRES_PORT'),
    database=os.getenv('POSTGRES_DB') 
)

ibis.set_backend(con)

table_1 = ibis.memtable({
    'key': [1,2], 
}).cache()

#table_1.execute()

table_2 = ibis.memtable({
    'key': [3,4],
}).cache()

display('table_1', table_1.execute())
display('table_2', table_2.execute())

Do you have the same behavior on your side? What can explain this?

Thank you in advance,

Regards
