(a) we'd use lossless casting for some of the upcasts (i8/i16/i32 -> i64) you've mentioned in `shred`. Other than that, `variant_get` using `arrow-cast` semantics makes it 3/4 aggressiveness from your list. (b) not a good fit for shredding - perfect for `variant_get`, because it's very permissive and aggressive. (c) we might provide a separate lossless cast API, that does **not** follow `arrow-cast` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
