Hi all, A correction to my earlier mail: ASTERIXDB-3676 was already fixed in commit 6fb7cf2 back in July, so that ticket just needs closing.
Instead I'd like to try ASTERIXDB-3898 (deep_equal, similarity_jaccard, edit_distance and the spatial comparisons treating -0.0 and 0.0 as different). Ali, unless you already have this in progress, would it be OK if I took it? I'd make those paths follow the same zero handling that ASTERIXDB-3418 introduced, and add a runtime test for each function.
