Ok, there are some distinct views on the matter (mine included). I would assume users of the kernels also have varying requirements regarding NaN behavior. For this reason, I propose to leave the `min`, `max` kernels as is, and add additional `min_float` and `max_float` kernels in which users can define the NaN behavior: - [x] **Propogate:** any NaN in array leads to NaN output. - [x] **Ignore:** (Postgres behavior) NaNs are ignore if any is aN. - [x] **TotalOrder:** Follow the total order standard. - [ ] ? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
