MazterQyou opened a new issue, #1740:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/1740

   **Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.**
   Casting strings to bools is more or less trivial and is useful for comparison between values of those two types.
   
   **Describe the solution you'd like**
   It makes sense to implement Utf8 to Boolean cast with respect to [PostgreSQL boolean cast](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-boolean.html), accepting values of `true`, `yes`, `on`, `1`, `false`, `no`, `off`, `0` as valid boolish strings, as well as their unique prefixes, ignoring the case and whitespace (again, following PostgreSQL convention).
   
   **Describe alternatives you've considered**
   N/A
   
   **Additional context**
   N/A
