Review Comment:
Two small follow-ups on this comment block:
**1. The Parquet contrast isn't quite accurate.** I suggested this
comparison earlier, but my wording oversimplified `ParquetFilters`. Its
`sources.In` branch is three-way. For a small list (`<=
pushDownInFilterThreshold`) it goes through `values.distinct.flatMap(makeEq)`,
where a NULL element is kept as a per-value equality (`makeEq(.., null)`)
rather than rewritten to a separate `IS NULL`. Only the large-list
partial-push-down path OR-s a separate `makeEq(.., null)` with
`makeInPredicate(nonNulls)`. The large-list non-partial path pushes nothing. So
Parquet keeps the NULL as a set or equality member rather than always pushing
`IS NULL`.
**2. "over-inclusive but safe" depends on Spark re-applying the predicate.**
The `Not(In)` case is only safe because ORC pushdown is advisory and Spark
re-evaluates the full predicate after the scan. It is worth stating that
premise so a future reader doesn't reuse this in an ORC-only (for example
`stripSparkFilter`-style) context where it would return wrong rows.
Suggested rewrite of the comment:
```suggestion
// SPARK-59605: NULLs in an IN list are inert (`x IN (.., NULL)`
matches the same rows as IN
// on the non-null values) and ORC's `in` cannot take them, so they
are dropped. (Parquet
// instead keeps the NULL as a set or equality member.) An empty or
all-NULL list leaves
// nothing to push. Under Not(In), NOT(IN(non-nulls)) is
over-inclusive but safe because ORC
// pushdown is advisory and Spark re-applies the full predicate after
the scan.
```
