jacques created ARROW-3890:
------------------------------
Summary: pa.array of string cannot created from np.array of string
Key: ARROW-3890
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3890
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Python
Affects Versions: 0.11.1
Reporter: jacques
Pyarrow arrays of string cannot be created from Numpy arrays of string anymore
for versions pyarrow>=0.8.0 (this includes pyarrow==0.11.1).
Please find below a quick repro:
{code:python}
import numpy as np
import pyarrow as pa
vec = np.array(["toto", "tata"])
pa.array(vec, pa.string())
{code}
Runing this I get the following:
{code:python}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ArrowInvalid Traceback (most recent call last)

ArrowInvalid: 'utf32' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-3: code point not

{code}
However, this code snippet was working fine with pyarrow==0.7.1.
Best,
Jacques
