Will Jones b75991eb07 fix: propagate cast errors in add() (#3075)
When we write data with `add()`, we can input data to the table's
schema. However, we were using "safe" mode, which propagates errors as
nulls. For example, if you pass `u64::max` into a field that is a `u32`,
it will just write null instead of giving overflow error. Now it
propagates the overflow. This is the same behavior as other systems like
DuckDB.

Preview Releases

Stable releases are created about every 2 weeks. For the latest features and bug fixes, you can install the preview release. These releases receive the same level of testing as stable releases, but are not guaranteed to be available for more than 6 months after they are released. Once your application is stable, we recommend switching to stable releases.

pip install --pre --extra-index-url https://pypi.fury.io/lancedb/ lancedb
