Phillip Cloud created ARROW-1895: ------------------------------------ Summary: Add field_name to pandas index metadata Key: ARROW-1895 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1895 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.7.1 Reporter: Phillip Cloud Assignee: Phillip Cloud Fix For: 0.8.0
See the discussion here for details: https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/pull/18201 In short we need a way to map index column names to field names in an arrow Table. Additionally, we're depending on the index columns being written at the end of the table and fixing this would allow us to read metadata written by other systems (e.g., fastparquet) that don't make this assumption. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
