@nealrichardson I've turned off making INT64 arrays with no nulls into altrep bit64::integer64 vectors (i.e. reusing the payload of the array as the data of the underlying double array in R ...) because of the auto downcasting to int vectors when it fits: ``` r library(arrow, warn.conflicts = FALSE) i64 <- Array$create(bit64::as.integer64(1:10)) .Internal(inspect(as.vector(i64))) #> @7ff0b2099c38 13 INTSXP g0c4 [REF(2)] (len=10, tl=0) 1,2,3,4,5,... ``` <sup>Created on 2021-06-08 by the [reprex package](https://reprex.tidyverse.org) (v2.0.0)</sup> I can altogether remove the int64 altrep code if needed ... ? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
