Class InclusiveStatsEvaluator

java.lang.Object
org.apache.iceberg.expressions.InclusiveStatsEvaluator

public class InclusiveStatsEvaluator extends Object
Evaluates an Expression on the ContentStats of a file to test whether rows in the file may match.

This evaluation is inclusive: it returns true if a file may match and false if it cannot match.

Stats are passed to eval(ContentStats, long), which returns true if the file may contain matching rows and false if the file cannot contain matching rows. Files may be skipped if and only if the return value of eval is false.

Due to the comparison implementation of ORC stats, for float/double columns in ORC files, if the first value in a file is NaN, metrics of this file will report NaN for both upper and lower bound despite that the column could contain non-NaN data. Thus, in some scenarios explicitly checks for NaN is necessary in order to not skip files that may contain matching data.
