Bryan Cutler commented on ARROW-9812:
-------------------------------------
Hi [~admrsh] , I implemented Map types to Pandas conversion recently in
ARROW-10151, but looks like I forgot that line you pointed out in
{{types.pxi}}. That should be in for the upcoming release, if you are able to
do a PR for it's cut - likely today or tomorrow - that would be great.
Otherwise, I can go ahead and add it. I will update this Jira to reflect Pandas
conversion is complete. Thanks!
> [Python] Map data types doesn't work from Arrow to Pandas and Parquet

> Key: ARROW-9812
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9812
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Python
> Reporter: Mayur Srivastava
> Priority: Major
>
> Hi,
> I'm having problems using 'map' data type in Arrow/parquet/pandas.
> I'm able to convert a pandas data frame to Arrow with a map data type.
> But, Arrow to Pandas doesn't work.
> When I write Arrow to Parquet, it seems to work, but I'm not sure if the data
> type is written correctly.
> When I read back Parquet to Arrow, it fails saying "reading list of structs"
> is not supported. It seems that map is stored as list of structs.
> There are two problems here:
> # Map data type doesn't work from Arrow -> Pandas.
> # Map data type doesn't get written to or read from Arrow -> Parquet.
> Questions:
> 1. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to get these to work?
> 2. If these are unsupported features, will this be fixed in a future version?
> Do you plans or ETA?
> The following code example (followed by output) should demonstrate the issues:
> I'm using Arrow 1.0.0 and Pandas 1.0.5.
> Thanks!
