Daniel Nugent commented on ARROW-5952: -------------------------------------- Just wanted to note that it is still present in 0.14.1 > [Python] Segfault when reading empty table with category as pandas dataframe > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-5952 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5952 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Python > Affects Versions: 0.14.0, 0.14.1 > Environment: Linux 3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64 > Python 3.6.8 > Pandas 0.24.2 > Pyarrow 0.14.0 > Reporter: Daniel Nugent > Priority: Major > > I have two short sample programs which demonstrate the issue: > {code:java} > import pyarrow as pa > import pandas as pd > empty = pd.DataFrame({'foo':[]},dtype='category') > table = pa.Table.from_pandas(empty) > outfile = pa.output_stream('bar') > writer = pa.RecordBatchFileWriter(outfile,table.schema) > writer.write(table) > writer.close() > {code} > {code:java} > import pyarrow as pa > pa.ipc.open_file('bar').read_pandas() > Segmentation fault > {code} > My apologies if this was already reported elsewhere, I searched but could not > find an issue which seemed to refer to the same behavior. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.14#76016)
