Review Comment:
   I agree panics are not good and should be avoided when possible
   
   We had a bit of a philosophical debate about this earlier (when to panic vs 
Error) and the conclusion we came to got codified in this doc, which I think is 
relevant here: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs#guidelines-for-panic-vs-result
