Joris Van den Bossche updated ARROW-6548:
-----------------------------------------
Description:
In ARROW-5682 (https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/5333), next to fixing
actual conversion bugs, I added the ability to convert all-NaN float arrays
when converting to string type (and only with {{from_pandas=True}}). So this
now works:
{code}
>>> pa.array(np.array([np.nan, np.nan], dtype=float), type=pa.string(),
>>> from_pandas=True)
<pyarrow.lib.StringArray object at 0x7f54dc9de830>
[
null,
null
]
{code}
However, I only added this for string type (and it already works for float and
int types). If we are happy with this behaviour, we should also add it for
other types.
