Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-17054:
----------------------------------------
Interesting. I suspect that there's some incorrect casting along the way. This
doesn't happen with PyArrow.

> Apologies for the lack of proper reprex but it crashes my session when I try
> to make one.
> I'm working on ARROW-16977 which is all about the reporting of object size
> having integer overflow issues, but this affects object creation.

> # works - creates a huge array, hurrah
> big_logical <- vector(mode = "logical", length = .Machine$integer.max)
> big_logical_array <- Array$create(big_logical)
> length(big_logical)
> ## [1] 2147483647
> length(big_logical_array)
> ## [1] 2147483647
> # creates an array of length 0, boo!
> too_big <- vector(mode = "logical", length = .Machine$integer.max + 1)
> too_big_array <- Array$create(too_big)
> length(too_big)
> ## [1] 2147483648
> length(too_big_array)
> ## [1] 0
