Github user HyukjinKwon commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/8718#issuecomment-140693582 It is OK for JDBC but for Parquet and ORC, it looks the conversion from `StringType` to `NumericType` are not safe. When the field type is `StringType`, then the given numeric value is converted to `String` and it compares both as string which ends up in wrong comparison. Also, it looks sometimes `Cast()` fails when trying to cast unrealistic values. So, it returns false when it fails just in case.
