Great catch. I looked into it, and it seems like it's wrapping around due to integer overflow while taking the average of the middle two values (since the count is even). ``` low: [-85], high: -56, median: 57 datatype: Int8 ``` -85 + -56 = -141 -> wraparound to 115 Then 115 / 2 -> 57.5 -> 57 (truncated due to integer type) What's our desired behavior in this case? We could promote to a larger datatype to perform the calculation. Also is it intentional to return the value as a truncated integer instead of a float? _Originally posted by @petern48 in https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/19278#discussion_r2617308599_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
