Thanks for raising this @ptimizeroracle and this is great catch! Java
handles the NaN value correctly as part of the comparator. This isn't the case
for PyIceberg:
```
➜ ~ python3
Python 3.14.7 (main, Aug 5 2026, 10:29:49) [Clang 21.0.0
(clang-2100.1.1.101)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> float('NaN')
nan
>>> float('NaN') > 1
False
```
From the Iceberg spec:

/>
Can you elaborate on why this introduces unreliable bounds?
