emkornfield opened a new pull request #4404:
URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/4404


   This is somewhat pedantic.  Based on current wording:
   `Each value must be less than or equal to all non-null, non-NaN values in 
the column for the file [2]`
   
   Based on defined sorting statistics
   `Sorting floating-point numbers should produce the following behavior: -NaN 
< -Infinity < -value < -0 < 0 < value < Infinity < NaN` -NaN could be a lower 
bound and NaN could be an upper bound.
   
   This PR tries to clarify whether statistics can or can't used for lower and 
upper bounds (I think the first sentence quoted might have been intended to 
rule out NaN but it isn't clear, so I'm happy to reverse this language to state 
that +/- NaN are valid values for bounds if that is the case).
