From db4f1e2f430acfb7d0f379d33c4f7ecc30cbb7dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tanmay Rauth Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2026 18:00:19 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix ResidualVisitor null handling for comparisons and not-NaN ResidualVisitor diverged from row-level expression evaluation on null values: - visit_less_than / visit_less_than_or_equal / visit_greater_than / visit_greater_than_or_equal compared the partition value to the literal directly. A nullable identity-partitioned column with a None partition value raised a TypeError (None < literal), while _ExpressionEvaluator guards with "value is not None" and treats the row as non-matching. Add the same guard so a null partition value yields AlwaysFalse instead of crashing during scan planning (ResidualEvaluator.residual_for). - visit_not_nan returned AlwaysFalse for a None value because None is not a SupportsFloat, whereas _ExpressionEvaluator.visit_not_nan (val == val) treats null as satisfying not-NaN. Invert the check so only NaN fails not-NaN and null (and any non-float value) passes, matching row evaluation. Update the test that encoded the old NotNaN(None) -> AlwaysFalse result and add a regression test covering None partition values for all four ordering comparisons.
