regular expression engine. Comet will fall back to Spark for patterns that are known to produce different results, but
this can be overridden by setting `spark.comet.regexp.allowIncompatible=true`.

## Floating number comparison

Spark normalizes NaN and zero for floating point numbers for several cases. See `NormalizeFloatingNumbers` optimization rule in Spark.
However, one exception is comparison. Spark does not normalize NaN and zero when comparing values
because they are handled well in Spark (e.g., `SQLOrderingUtil.compareFloats`). But the comparison
functions of arrow-rs used by DataFusion do not normalize NaN and zero (e.g., [arrow::compute::kernels::cmp::eq](https://docs.rs/arrow/latest/arrow/compute/kernels/cmp/fn.eq.html#)).
So Comet will add additional normalization expression of NaN and zero for comparison.
