RowFilter.NumberFilter:无法处理“混合"；具体数字类型

Knowing that detail, the test failure is not astonishing (in hind-sight, would have never thought of that being an issue ;-) One level of defense is to make sure - in client code - that the numbers to compare are of the same class. That's not always possible (think f.i.: a tableColumn with columnClass Number) So I'm wondering if/how to improve on the fallback. Something like:

if (one instanceof Comparable && one.getClass() == other.getClass()) {
    // same class, use comparator
    return ((Comparable) one).compareTo(other);
}
if (areIntegers(one, other)) {
    // all integers, use longValue
    return longCompare(one, other);
}
if (areDecimals(one, other)) {
    // anything to do here?
}
// at last resort convert to BigDecimal and compare those: 
BigDecimal bigOne = new BigDecimal(one.toString());
BigDecimal bigOther = new BigDecimal(other.toString());
return bigOne.compareTo(bigOther);

Doing so, makes the test pass - I'm a bit wary about hidden (read: unknown to me :) pitfalls. Any warnings/alternatives highly welcome!

Follow-up

implemented as outlined above, now waiting for clients to complain - in that case will point fingers to everybody who didn't warn me here :-)

I don't have a better answer, but the example below illustrates the effect. In particular, a RowFilter based on a double primitive is boxed as Double, producing the expected tableau having values > 1. In contrast, the one based on a float is boxed as Float. Because the class literals do not match, include() compares the long values, unexpectedly filtering all fractional values < 2.
