Joris Van den Bossche updated ARROW-5907: ----------------------------------------- Summary: [Python] base64 support of bytes-like (was: base64 support of bytes-like) > [Python] base64 support of bytes-like > ------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-5907 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5907 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Python > Affects Versions: 0.14.0 > Reporter: Litchy > Priority: Major > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > > Currently pyarrow could not be encoded by base64: > {code} > t = numpy.arange(25, dtype=np.float64) > a = pyarrow.array(t) > s1 = base64.b64encode(t) # this works > s2 = base64.b64encode(a) > {code} > gives "a bytes-like object is required not 'pyarrow.lib.DoubleArray'" > Because it is not bytes-like > A possible scenario could be if we want to push data(like ndarray) to Redis > in Python and get it from other language like Java. Arrow could be used to > interact between Python and Java using Array of Arrow. > Adding this feature would support some in-queue and out-queue operations like > Redis -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.14#76016)
