pub fn satisfy_greater(
    left: &Interval,
    right: &Interval,
    strict: bool
) -> Result<Option<(Interval, Interval)>, DataFusionError>
Expand description

This function updates the given intervals by enforcing (i.e. propagating) the inequality left > right (or the left >= right inequality, if strict is true).

Returns a Result wrapping an Option containing the tuple of resulting intervals. If the comparison is infeasible, returns None.

Example usage:

use datafusion_common::DataFusionError;
use datafusion_expr::interval_arithmetic::{satisfy_greater, Interval};

let left = Interval::make(Some(-1000.0_f32), Some(1000.0_f32))?;
let right = Interval::make(Some(500.0_f32), Some(2000.0_f32))?;
let strict = false;
assert_eq!(
    satisfy_greater(&left, &right, strict)?,
    Some((
        Interval::make(Some(500.0_f32), Some(1000.0_f32))?,
        Interval::make(Some(500.0_f32), Some(1000.0_f32))?
    ))
);
Ok::<(), DataFusionError>(())

NOTE: This function only works with intervals of the same data type. Attempting to compare intervals of different data types will lead to an error.
