Description

Currently, our Parquet can use BloomFilter for any physical types. However, when BloomFilter apply on float:
1. What does +0 -0 means? Are they equal?
1. Should qNaN sNaN written in BloomFilter? Are they equal?

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named, so begin by reading the Parquet BloomFilter specification and the five-comment discussion. Define and document how +0/-0 and qNaN/sNaN are treated, including equality and BloomFilter inclusion; done means both ambiguities are resolved in the specification.
