Description
Hi, is there any better channel where I could ask questions about datafusion ? Is it fine to ask them here in issues ?
Is UUID data type going to be supported natively in DataFusion ? What is the current state of support for UUID ? I wonder if the only way to go for me is to represent UUID as two i64 columns and invent some sql processor to hide that complexity.
Is data type widening supported for types like i32 to i64 ?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing DataFusion's current documentation and type-handling entry points for UUID support and numeric widening. The issue does not name files or tests; done would require a clear maintainer answer about current support or a defined implementation scope.
