Apache Spark reassigned SPARK-17506:
------------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Apache Spark)
> Improve the check double values equality rule
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-17506
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17506
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SQL
> Reporter: Jiang Xingbo
> Priority: Critical
>
> In `ExpressionEvalHelper`, we check the equality between two double values by
> comparing whether the expected value is within the range [target - tolerance,
> target + tolerance], but this can cause a negative false when the compared
> numerics are very large.
> For example：
> {code}
> val1 = 1.6358558070241E306
> val2 = 1.6358558070240974E306
> ExpressionEvalHelper.compareResults(val1, val2)
> false
> {code}
> In fact, val1 and val2 are but with different precisions, we should tolerant
> this case.
