----------------------------------------
Summary: Segmentation Fault when None given to read_table
Key: ARROW-10910
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-10910
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Python
Affects Versions: 0.17.0
Environment: python: 3.8.3.final.0
python-bits: 64
OS: Linux
OS-release: 5.4.0-56-generic
machine: x86_64
processor: x86_64
byteorder: little
LC_ALL: None

Reporter: Charles Burkland
h3. Code Sample (copy-pasteable)
{code:python}
import pyarrow.parquet as pq
pq.read_table(None)
{code}
h3. Description
The above snippet will produce a Segmentation Fault, which is highly
undesirable. The reason I discovered this, was I had a function that was
supposed to return a file path, but on my first iteration I forgot to return.
Thus, when I ran my module with
{code:python}
pq.read_table(generate_fp()){code}
it produced a Segmentation Fault.
h3. Expected Output
Ideally this will raise an *ValueError*, indicating to the user that *None* is
an invalid source/file path. In my opinion, this is much more desirable than a
violent segfault.
