Review comment:
       Looks like it was 
[filed](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/29633) a while time ago, 
but no one has picked it up. I'll assign it to myself to do. In the meantime, I 
can add a subtask (under the non-deferred 
[ticket](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-12169)?) to remind us to 
update the function api once the `rsplit` fix in pandas is released.
