Hi,

Sorry for not being clear. 
Pyarrow version is 0.17.1. 

Here is the full stacktree:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tobacco_relevancy_classify.py", line 169, in do_action
    output_data = pyarrow.Table.from_pandas(output_dataframe)
  File "pyarrow\table.pxi", line 1451, in pyarrow.lib.Table.from_pandas

  File "pyarrow\array.pxi", line 265, in pyarrow.lib.array
  File "pyarrow\array.pxi", line 80, in pyarrow.lib._ndarray_to_array

pyarrow.lib.ArrowTypeError: ('Unknown list item type: struct<attributeName: 
string, end: int64, key: string, start: int64, tokenOffset: int64, value: 
string>', 'Conversion failed for column payload with type object')

The column that causes this error has the following type:

payload: list<Span: struct<attributeName: string, start: int32, end: int32, 
key: string, value: string, tokenOffset: int32>>
  child 0, Span: struct<attributeName: string, start: int32, end: int32, key: 
string, value: string, tokenOffset: int32>
      child 0, attributeName: string
      child 1, start: int32
      child 2, end: int32
      child 3, key: string
      child 4, value: string
      child 5, tokenOffset: int32

This column can be successfully converted to Dataframe, but cannot be converted 
back to Arrow Table.

Thank you.

Please include pyarrow version as well.

Could you provide more complete details about the error (an example if
possible and the full error and stacktrace)?
