ENH: Support errors="ignore" for astype with pyarrow types #55399

Pandas version checks

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

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

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd
mydf = pd.DataFrame({'col': [17000000]}, dtype='int32[pyarrow]')
mydf.astype('float[pyarrow]', errors='ignore')

Issue Description

I have a DataFrame containing integers and floating point numbers, in separate columns. Before stacking them, I tried converting all values to (single precision) floats. I got an exception, because PyArrow happens to guard against precision loss. Fair enough. But even when I add errors='ignore', I get the error:

ArrowInvalid: Integer value 17000000 not in range: -16777216 to 16777216

The minimal reproducing example contains only one column and one row. Interestingly enough, converting per column as Series produces no error.

Expected Behavior

I expect to be able to convert PyArrow int32 values to PyArrow floats using astype.
