I don't think we should rely on exception handling here.
Could we do something like the one below?
```python
def _int_size_to_type(size):
"""
Return the Scala type from the size of integers.
"""
if size <= 8:
return ByteType
if size <= 16:
return ShortType
if size <= 32:
return IntegerType
if size <= 64:
return LongType
...
# compute array typecode mappings for integer types
...
dt = _int_size_to_type(size)
if dt is not None:
_array_type_mappings[_typecode] = dt
else:
raise TypeError("not supported type: integer size too large.")
```
