Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-2972:
---------------------------------------
I think this would be a misfeature. Right now {{pa.array}} always infers
{{int64}} for integers if no type is given. If we change this, users will
sometimes get unsigned arrays, perhaps unknowingly. It can have ripple effects
on computations and silently produce bogus data.
