>From https://pypi.org/project/pyarrow-hotfix/ :
pyarrow_hotfix must be imported in your application or library code for it to take effect. Just installing the package is not sufficient: For Beam users, that means that the pipeline code running on the workers would need to import this module on every worker, for example by adding this line to DoFn.setup or in main session (if pipeline is composed only from one file AND uses dill pickler with --save_main_session flag). We will continue addressing this in https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/29392.
