[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-2972) [Python] Implement inference logic
for uint64 conversions in builtin_convert.cc
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2972?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16628673#comment-16628673 ]
Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-2972:
---------------------------------------
I think this would be a misfeature. Right now {{pa.array}} always infers {{int64}} for integers if no type is given. If we change this, users will sometimes get unsigned arrays, perhaps unknowingly. It can have ripple effects on computations and silently produce bogus data.
