> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-5952
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5952
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Python
> Affects Versions: 0.14.0, 0.14.1
> Environment: Linux 3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64

>
>
> I have two short sample programs which demonstrate the issue:
> {code:java}
> import pyarrow as pa
> import pandas as pd
> empty = pd.DataFrame({'foo':[]},dtype='category')
> table = pa.Table.from_pandas(empty)
> outfile = pa.output_stream('bar')
> writer = pa.RecordBatchFileWriter(outfile,table.schema)
> writer.write(table)
> writer.close()
> {code}
> {code:java}
> import pyarrow as pa
> pa.ipc.open_file('bar').read_pandas()
> Segmentation fault
> {code}
> My apologies if this was already reported elsewhere, I searched but could not
> find an issue which seemed to refer to the same behavior.
