Hi Jayant, This keyword was introduced in pyarrow 0.16, so you will need to update your installation.
For updating, if `conda update pyarrow` indicates it is already installed, you can also try `conda install pyarrow=0.16`. However, it might be you will need to use the conda-forge channel, as I am not sure the default Anaconda channel has more recent versions of pyarrow available (`conda update pyarrow --channel conda-forge`). Best, Joris (note: I am sending it to the user mailing list as well, which I think is the better place for this question) On Wed, 26 Aug 2020 at 16:52, Jayant Singh <jayants...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Good Evening, > My name is Jayant and I am using pyarrow version 0.15.0 with python 3.8 on > my MacOs catalina, latest version.
