> In numpy, we can cast int64 to float64. But in pyarrow, we can't.
> ```python
> import numpy as np
> import pandas as pd
> import pyarrow as pa
> # timestamp
> dt = pd.date_range('2021-01-01', periods=10)
> # int64
> arr = dt.asi8
> # cast to float64
> arr_double = arr.astype(np.float64)
> # to arrow array
> ts = pa.array(dt.asi8, type=pa.timestamp('ns'))
> # to int64 array
> ts_int64 = ts.cast(pa.int64())
> # cast to float64
> ts_double = ts_int64.cast(pa.float64())
> ```
> the last line raise an exception
