Anish Biswas created ARROW-8642: ----------------------------------- Summary: Is there a good way to convert data types from numpy types to pyarrow DataType? Key: ARROW-8642 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8642 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Wish Reporter: Anish Biswas
Pretty much what the title says. Suppose I have a numpy array and its a numpy.int8 type. How do I convert it to a pyarrow.Datatype intuitively? I thought a Dictionary lookup table might work but perhaps there is some better way? Why do I need this? I am trying to make pyarrow arrays with from_buffers(). The first parameter is essentially a pyarrow.Datatype. So that's why. I have validity_bitmaps as a buffer of uint8 and that's why I am using from_buffers() and not pyarrow.array(). -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
