> I suggest that we should add options for both the compute kernel and the RunEndEncoded builder to control whether NaNs, signed zeros, `atol`, `ulp_distance_`, and identical physical values should be considered equal and merged. What do you think? That sounds overkill to me, especially as NaNs are rare in practice. The only constraint here is that run-end-encoding must be entirely lossless: decoding must reproduce the original array. So we should only merge identical values, not values that are close to each other. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
