[jira] [Created] (ARROW-1132) [Python] Unable to write pandas
DataFrame w/MultiIndex containing duplicate values to parquet
Ben Mabey created ARROW-1132:
--------------------------------
Summary: [Python] Unable to write pandas DataFrame w/MultiIndex containing duplicate values to parquet
Key: ARROW-1132
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1132
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Python
Affects Versions: 0.4.1
Environment: OSx, miniconda, using pyarrow build from conda-forge
Reporter: Ben Mabey
Panda DataFrames that have `MultiIndex`es seem to always be converted to a `Table` just fine. However, when writing the `Table` to disk using `pyarrow.parquet`, I am unable to write DataFrames whose `MultiIndex` contains a level with duplicate values (which is nearly always the case for me). Here is an example in python with working cases and a failure case at bottom:
{code:python}
import pandas as pd
import pyarrow as pa
import pyarrow.parquet as pq
num_rows = 3
example = pd.DataFrame({'strs': ['foo', 'foo', 'bar'],
'nums_b': range(num_rows),
'nums_a': range(num_rows)})
def pq_write(df):
table = pa.Table.from_pandas(df)
pq.write_table(table, '/tmp/df.parquet')
# single index works
pq_write(example)
pq_write(example.set_index(['nums_b']))
# single index with duplicate values work
pq_write(example.set_index(['strs']))
# MultiIndex with all unique, relative to the level/column, values works
pq_write(example.set_index(['nums_b', 'nums_a']))
# MultiIndex with one level with duplicate values in one index FAILS
pq_write(example.set_index(['strs', 'nums_a']))
{code}
{noformat}
Traceback (most recent call last):

pyarrow.lib.ArrowIOError: IOError: Written rows: 2 != expected rows: 3in the current column chunk
{noformat}
Note that the written rows is equal to the number of unique values in the `strs` level. I have found this to always be the case when I've hit this error message.
I'm happy to write a patch for this assuming this is a bug and you can point me in the right direction.
