I can see how it may be desirable for some use cases to keep numeric overflow behavior. Having a flag for transition period sounds useful, but may also complicate implementation a lot. in the long term, I can hardly see how someone would want silent overflow behavior in their queries. In regular programming it might be useful feature in powerful hands. in SQL, the query author has little control of final plan, so overflow may happen in a different place, even if somewhat anticipated. For the primitives such as arithmetics currently implemented in Arrow, do you think Arrow wants to have numeric overflow behavior and use checked arithmetics only conditionally? cc @alamb @tustvold -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
