----------------------------------
Summary: `binary_replace_slice` should not work with `string` types
Key: ARROW-18319
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-18319
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Kshiteej K
`binary_replace_slice` can give in invalid output when used with string types.
Given that there is `utf8_replace_slice`, I think `binary_replace_slice` should
not support string types.
If a user actually wants to play with bytes for string type, they should
explicitly cast to binary type and use `binary_replace_slice`.
{code:java}
>>> pc.binary_replace_slice(["hé"], 1, 2, "x")
<pyarrow.lib.StringArray object at 0x7fdbc09937c0>
[
"hx�"
]
>>> pc.binary_replace_slice(["hé"], 1, 2, "x").validate(full=True)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ArrowInvalid: Invalid UTF8 sequence at string index 0 {code}
