IMO the `ASOF` join syntax is not well-thought out and it is better to leave such operators to downstream or to `datafusion-contrib` (and not a part of Datafusion core). I agree with the many of the points raised against this syntax (although not the tone) when it was brought up in [PostgreSQL mailing list](https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CALzhyqwuVz0FJZ-oCYQ9d%2ByrPrbF5a9HDyAjxuSUdgq8n7nshQ%40mail.gmail.com). At Synnada, we handle time-series use cases like the ones `ASOF` tries to address -- but we stay within the realm of standard/consistent SQL. I would be happy to share some info on our approach after the holidays. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
