Good catch. Do we need to add to decimal as well? As a note, I don't see the the introduction of an optional argument to a function as a breaking change so consider this fix identification as a valid non-breaking change. (I think you went through this as well but want to call out explicitly.) |

@jacques-n I'm not sure I understand. Division for decimal already specifies overflow I think: |

BREAKING CHANGE: The signature of divide functions for multiple types now specify an enumeration prior to specifying operands.

When working on apache/arrow#13285 we noticed that there is no overflow behavior for division. My first thought was that overflow is not possible on division but it turns out that there is one special case of overflow when the data type is signed integers.
For example, consider 8 bit signed integers. The range is -128,127. However,
-128 / -1 => 128which is outside the range. I'm not entirely sure whatSATURATEwould mean in this case but it seems it could mean 127 for the simplicity of having one set of overflow handling options for all the arithmetic.
