Describe the bug

[BUG] Conditional statement not supported using Opensearch PPL. As per documentation https://github.com/opensearch-project/sql/blob/2.x/docs/user/ppl/functions/condition.rst we can use IF statement to filter results which is fine as I used below

source = | where ins="<ins_name>" | where match(log, "%message%")| fields @timestamp, metric, pgs | eval test=if(pgs = "2", "yes", "no")| fields test, metric

Now in next use case if I wanted to use > or < to filter results, its not working its complaining (below error).

"details": "Failed to parse query due to offending symbol [>] at:

I have tried other options like "gt" lr "gte" with "". '' , `` but nothing works.

Next use-case would be case statement, how to use case statement here -- spent many days but didnt get single example anywhere and OPensearch gives weird error which you are not able to understand. Please help!!! Has anyone done this before?

Sure If statement is not working with >, <, >=, <= (gretaer than, less than) condition. How to use case statement using PPL. Do we support all functions like percentile, median etc. In Opensearch PPL, cant we use global filters (like variables we have in Grafana)
