Rationale for this change
Want to support calling BETWEEN for any valid column types, not just numeric columns. This extends support for filter expressions like
date_col BETWEEN '2025-01-01' AND '2025-01-02'.The
test_invalid_betweentest was removed in favor of letting the type checks happen at evaluation time (when the literals are attempted to be cast to the corresponding column's type for comparison).Are these changes tested?
Yes, tested locally applying filters to tables.
Are there any user-facing changes?
Yes,
BETWEENoperator signature has changed, it nows supports all comparable column types.
