I think this needs to be done to fully implement this PR: - [ ] Implement cast that returns an error on parsing errors instead of null - [ ] Implement `cast(utf8, bool)` to remove remaining parser function - [ ] Some (cast) / stringarray ( https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/9016 ) perf. improvements to avoid performance hit I think an eventual performance benefit is that it makes it easier to get rid of the (slow) `StringRecord` eventually as we can just load bytes on the go, maybe we could even directly append to the array as a buffer without intermediate copies and extra allocations as we do currently. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
