Hi Rares,
Ok, so here is the explanation. `pa.ipc.open_stream` will open the given file memory-mapped, so the buffers read from the file are zero-copy. But now you're rewriting the file from scratch... so the buffers become invalid memory (they're zero-copy). Hence the "Bad address" error you're getting (the underlying errno mnemonic for error code 14 is EFAULT). If you need to rewrite the *same* file, you should disable memory mapping. For example, you can use `pyarrow.ipc.open_stream(pyarrow.OSFile(fn))`, which will create a regular file object. Or you can arrange to not rewrite the same file. For example you could write to a temporary file, close it, and then move it to the original location. Regards Antoine.
