Github user rxin commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/21482 OK I double checked. I don't think we should be adding this functionality, since different databases implemented it differently, and it is somewhat difficult to create Infinity in Spark SQL given we return null or nan. On top of that, we already support equality for infinity, e.g. ``` spark.range(1).select( org.apache.spark.sql.functions.lit(java.lang.Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY) ===org.apache.spark.sql.functions.lit(java.lang.Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY)).show() ``` The above shows true. If you start adding inf, we'd need to soon add functions for negative infinity, and these functions provide very little value beyond what we already support using equality.
