Infer UInt64 for Int64 Overflow and Fix Schema Inference Transforms
Infer UInt64 in case of Int64 overflow and fix some transforms in schema inference. #44696 (Kruglov Pavel).
Why it matters
This feature addresses the issue where values exceeding theInt64 range were not properly handled during schema inference. By inferring UInt64 in such cases, it ensures accurate data type detection and prevents errors caused by overflow, improving data ingestion and processing reliability.How to use it
The enhancement is applied automatically during schema inference. Users do not need to enable anything manually; the system will inferUInt64 if it detects values exceeding the Int64 range.
