[wKollendorf]

Checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of Polars.

Reproducible example

df = pl.DataFrame({
	"a": [1,2,3]
})

df = df.with_columns([
	pl.col("a").cast(pl.List(pl.Int64))
])

Issue description

Please implement casting to pl.List from any dtype.

Expected behavior

Casting to List works for any dtype.

It seems that arrow2 does not supports cast PrimitiveArray to LargeList, but it supports cast this to List.

Ah, yeap.. We must implement that upstream.

FYI: I have just submitted a patch to upstream: jorgecarleitao/arrow2#1547.

Test result:

    df = pl.DataFrame({
        "a": [1,2,3]
    })

    df = df.with_columns([
        pl.col("a").cast(pl.List(pl.Int64))
    ])

Nice! I will merge it upstream. Then we can point to the latest commit once merged.
