   Well, you are following the wrong order of casting. The problematic 
comparison involves casting from `double -> float`.
   ```
   System.out.println((double) 1.1f); --> 1.100000023841858 (correct)
   System.out.println((float) 1.1d);  --> 1.1 (incorrect)
   
   // incorrect float/double comparison because of casting
   float f = 1.1f;
   double d = 1.1d;
   System.out.println(Float.compare(f, (float)d)); --> 0 (Such comparison in 
Pinot resulting incorrect output)
   ```
   
   We are ignoring the [following queries in our test 
cases](https://github.com/apache/pinot/blob/master/pinot-query-runtime/src/test/resources/queries/Comparisons.json#L346)
