### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? A common usage of `CASE WHEN` (particularly in the TPC-DS benchmark) is to protect against divide by zero errors. For example: ``sql CASE WHEN y > 0 THEN x / y ELSE null END ``` The `CaseExpr` implementation is quite expensive and we could replace this whole expression with a divide kernel that returns null if the right hand side is zero (Rust has a `div_checked` function that already provides this functionality). arrow-rs already has the following code in `arrow-array/src/arithmetic.rs`, which is really close to what we need. I think we just need a version that returns an `Option::None` instead of an `Err`. ```rust #[inline] fn div_checked(self, rhs: Self) -> Result<Self, ArrowError> { if rhs.is_zero() { Err(ArrowError::DivideByZero) } else { self.checked_div(rhs).ok_or_else(|| { ArrowError::ComputeError(format!( "Overflow happened on: {:?} / {:?}", self, rhs )) }) } } ``` ### Describe the solution you'd like _No response_ ### Describe alternatives you've considered _No response_ ### Additional context _No response_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
