Hi Ying,
Yes, this approach sounds reasonable. It would be useful at some point
to add random date/timestamp generation to RandomArrayGenerator, though.

Hi,
I’d like to generate random Date64 & Timestamp arrays with artificial max and
mins. RandomArrayGenerator::ArrayOf in arrow/testing/random.h does not help.
Currently the approach I’d like to take is using RandomArrayGenerator::Int64 to
generate a random int64 array and then convert it to a date64/timestamp array
through some form of reinterpretation at ArrayData level. Does that work? If so is
it the best approach? Thanks!
Ying
