[jira] [Updated] (ARROW-9134) Parquet partitioning degrades Int32
to float64
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9134?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Wes McKinney updated ARROW-9134:
--------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.0.0
> Parquet partitioning degrades Int32 to float64
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-9134
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9134
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Nicholas Palko
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.0.0
>
>
> As you can see below, as soon as I partition the parquet dataset, my {{Int32}} type is read back as {{float64}}. This seems like a bug to me, as partitioning shouldn't change the datatype, and I loose all the advantages of the nullable int.

> {code:java}
> import pandas as pd # 1.0.4
> import pyarrow as pa # 0.17.1
> import pyarrow.parquet as pq
> x = pd.DataFrame({'a':[1, 2, None, 1], 'b':['x']*4})
> x.a = x.a.astype('Int32')
> tbl = pa.Table.from_pandas(x)
> pq.write_to_dataset(tbl, 'ok')
> pq.write_to_dataset(tbl, 'busted', partition_cols=['b'])
> print(pd.read_parquet('ok').dtypes['a']) # Int32
> print(pd.read_parquet('busted').dtypes['a']) # float64
> {code}
