Jacques Nadeau commented on ARROW-401:
--------------------------------------

This is what I've used elsewhere before:
{code}
    boolean evaluateEquality(Float f1, Float f2) {
      if(f1.isNaN()){
        return f2.isNaN();
      }

      if(f1.isInfinite()){
        return f2.isInfinite();
      }

      if ((f1 + f2) / 2 != 0) {
        return Math.abs(f1 - f2) / ((f1 + f2) / 2) < 1.0E-6;
      } else {
        return !(f1 != 0);
      }
    }
{code}

{code}
    @Override
    boolean evaluateEquality(Double f1, Double f2) {
      if(f1.isNaN()){
        return f2.isNaN();
      }

      if(f1.isInfinite()){
        return f2.isInfinite();
      }

      if ((f1 + f2) / 2 != 0) {
        return Math.abs(f1 - f2) / ((f1 + f2) / 2) < 1.0E-12;
      } else {
        return !(f1 != 0);
      }
    }
  }
{code}
