   Ideally, I would expect the division kernel to have the same option as the 
cast kernel:
   1. if 
[CastOptions::safe](https://docs.rs/arrow/21.0.0/arrow/compute/kernels/cast/struct.CastOptions.html)
 is true, then any indexes that divide by 0 would have their validity slot set 
to NULL and can have an arbitrary value in the values Buffer
   2. If 
[CastOptions::safe](https://docs.rs/arrow/21.0.0/arrow/compute/kernels/cast/struct.CastOptions.html)
 is false, then if any indexes divide by zero, an `Err` is returned
   
   I believe this is consistent with what @liukun4515  and  @viirya  are saying
   
   I also *think* this is consistent with @tustvold 's proposal, but I am 100% 
sure.
