The changes involve modifications to the range-handling logic, allowing Backfila to process start and end range to be non-numeric values.
This change addresses a discussion raised in Slack. The backfill at Backfila #17385 uses Jooq backfills. Depending on the specific type of backfill, we want to support non-numerical range values and delegate range validation to the corresponding backfill operator. For instance, the StaticDatasourceBackfillOperator will enforce that ranges are numerical.
Will save this for Mike to review
