**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** This is part of the larger project to implement `StringViewArray` -- see https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/5374 In https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/5481 we added support for `StringViewArray` and `ByteViewArray`. This ticket tracks supporting `StringViewArray` and `ByteViewArray` in the `cast` kernel: https://docs.rs/arrow/latest/arrow/compute/kernels/cast/index.html **Describe the solution you'd like** Specifically the following conversions should be supported in the cast kernels: * `StringViewArray` <--> `StringArray` * `StringViewArray` <--> `LargeStringArray` And similarly for `Binary`: * `BinaryViewArray` <--> `BinaryArray` * `BinaryViewArray` <--> `LargeBinaryArray` Notes: 1. Good test coverage is the most important part of this ticket 2. I recommend 2 PRs (one for StringView and one for BinaryView) to make review easier -- once we have one then the other will largely follow the example of the first 3. We can track other features in follow on tickets (e.g. DictionaryArray <--> StringViewArray) **Describe alternatives you've considered** **Additional context** <!-- Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. --> -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
