---------------------------------------
For this issue, I changed my mind to support this approach because I agreed the
big picture of [~smilegator]. Sorry for the delay on this issue.
> Infinity, -Infinity, NaN should be recognized in a case insensitive manner
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-27768
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-27768
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Xiao Li
> Priority: Major
>
> When the inputs contain the constant 'infinity', Spark SQL does not generate
> the expected results.
> {code:java}
> SELECT avg(CAST(x AS DOUBLE)), var_pop(CAST(x AS DOUBLE))
> FROM (VALUES ('1'), (CAST('infinity' AS DOUBLE))) v(x);
> SELECT avg(CAST(x AS DOUBLE)), var_pop(CAST(x AS DOUBLE))
> FROM (VALUES ('infinity'), ('1')) v(x);
> SELECT avg(CAST(x AS DOUBLE)), var_pop(CAST(x AS DOUBLE))
> FROM (VALUES ('infinity'), ('infinity')) v(x);
> SELECT avg(CAST(x AS DOUBLE)), var_pop(CAST(x AS DOUBLE))
> FROM (VALUES ('-infinity'), ('infinity')) v(x);{code}
> The root cause: Spark SQL does not recognize the special constants in a case
> insensitive way. In PostgreSQL, they are recognized in a case insensitive
> way.
