> > Ah, wait. Is statistics still valid with different data type...? > > Certainly not. If you view a `int32` array as `uint32`, then the min and max may be different if there are negative integers. Our focus is on preserving the `statistics attributes `as much as possible, as I mentioned [here](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/46485#issuecomment-2888790138)—for example, `ARROW:average_byte_width:exact`. However, with the current behavior of `arrow::Array::View`, it is not possible to preserve them. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
