             Summary: [R] Invalid buffer for null characters with null data
                 Key: ARROW-3693
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3693
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement

I'm hitting this from data coming from Spark while retrieving this data frame:

 

 
{code:java}
<database>   <name>    <temp>
default      a         TRUE
             b         TRUE
{code}
 

Error:
{code:java}
error: Failed to fetch data: invalid data in buffer 2
{code}
The problem is that is possible to have a NULL character array with offsets set 
to 0, notice that in the example above Spark returns two batches, so 
effectively, we are trying to parse:

 
{code:java}
<database>   <name>    <temp>
             b         TRUE
{code}
 

Where the data array is NULL and the offsets 0s for the <database> columns.

Here is a snapshot while debugging StringArray_to_Vector:
