Hey Alberto,
Thanks for your message! I'm trying to reproduce it.
Can you attach the code you use to write the batch into the store?
Also can you say which version of Python and Arrow you are using? On my
installation, I get
```
In [*5*]: plasma.ObjectID(bytearray("keynumber1keynumber1", "UTF-8"))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-5-fbec5bb33c33> in <module>()
----> 1 plasma.ObjectID(bytearray("keynumber1keynumber1", "UTF-8"))
plasma.pyx in pyarrow.plasma.ObjectID.__cinit__()
ValueError: Object ID must by 20 bytes, is keynumber1keynumber1
```
(the canonical way to do this would be plasma.ObjectID(b
"keynumber1keynumber1"))
Best,
Philipp.
