Github user nsyca commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/17286 @gatorsmile An equality join in most cases has a better filtering than an inequality join. This can be used heuristically. However, this is not always true. An equality join can be a lookup join from a fact table to a dimension table that it does not reduce anything but an inequality join such as a range join over time period.
