Timo Walther commented on FLINK-24420:
--------------------------------------
+1 for this approach. Performance and Java-like by default but range checks if
configured for correctness.
> Casting to a "narrower" type doesn't throw exception but follows Java overflow

> Ideally we should provide config option to be able to keep current behaviour
> where such casts follow the standard Java overflow, but in order to avoid
> "hidden" erroneous behaviour the user should be able to have an error thrown
> when an overflow happens. So basically range checks for each type like
> TINYINT, SMALLINT, INT, FLOAT should be enforced. Keep in mind of such range
> checks for every conversion would add performance overhead.
