Predicate Pushdown Rules in SparkSql Inner Join Queries

SparkSql optimizes inner‑join queries by pushing predicates to the scan phase, allowing filters connected with AND to be applied before the join without changing results, while OR‑connected filters can be unsafe except when they involve the join key or partitioned tables which use partition pruning.
