             Summary: [C++] Add casting option to set unsafe casts to null rather than some garbage value
                 Key: ARROW-1489
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1489
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: C++
            Reporter: Wes McKinney


Null is the obvious choice when certain casts fail, like string to number, but in other kinds of unsafe casts there may be more ambiguity.
