---------------------------------------

             Summary: Unable to cast `HalffloatArray` to `Float` or `Double`
                 Key: ARROW-13762
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13762
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Python
    Affects Versions: 5.0.0, 5.0.1
            Reporter: Prem Sagar Gali


I'm not able to cast the `float16` type to `float32`/`float64`, here is a repro:
{code:java}
>>> import pyarrow as pa
>>> import numpy as np
>>> pa.array(np.array([1, 2.0], dtype='float32')).cast(pa.float64())
<pyarrow.lib.DoubleArray object at 0x7fa67cc56760>
[
  1,
  2
]
>>> pa.array(np.array([1, 2.0], dtype='float16')).cast(pa.float64())
Traceback (most recent call last):
