Dragoș Moldovan-Grünfeld commented on ARROW-15701:
--------------------------------------------------
I think so too - that was the reason behind having the title of the ticket as a
question. If this is relevant mostly for R we could implement it in the binding
for {{month()}}.
> [C++][R] Should month allow integer inputs?
> -------------------------------------------

> Key: ARROW-15701
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-15701
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C++, R
> Reporter: Dragoș Moldovan-Grünfeld
> Priority: Major
>
> In R, more specifically in {{{}lubridate{}}}, {{month()}} can be used both to
> get and set the corresponding component of a date. This means {{month()}}
> accepts integer inputs.
> {code:r}
> suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(lubridate))
> month(1:12)
> #> [1] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
> month(1:13)
> #> Error in month.numeric(1:13): Values are not in 1:12
> {code}
> Solving this would allow us to implement bindings such as `semester()` in a
> manner closer to {{{}lubridate{}}}.

> Currently attempts to use {{month()}} with integer inputs errors with:
> {code:r}
> Function 'month' has no kernel matching input types (array[int32])
