Ultrabug created ARROW-3700: ------------------------------- Summary: read_csv behavior with blank lines differs between CSV deliimters Key: ARROW-3700 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3700 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Bug Components: Python Reporter: Ultrabug Attachments: csv_parse_error.zip
This is a copy/paste of the github issue: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/2883 Hi, I was playing with {{pyarrow.csv}} {{read_csv}} and found a rather strange behavior that I'm not sure is normal. Parsing will fail if the delimiter of the CSV file is a comma and there's a blank line after the header (see {{basic_with_blank.csv}} example) Example output: {{{{Traceback (most recent call last): File "sorrow.py", line 14, in <module> table = pa_csv.read_csv(csv) File "pyarrow/_csv.pyx", line 198, in pyarrow._csv.read_csv File "pyarrow/error.pxi", line 81, in pyarrow.lib.check_status pyarrow.lib.ArrowInvalid: CSV parse error: Expected 2 columns, got 1 }}}} If I change the CSV delimiter to semicolon, the error disappears and everything is fine! I'm providing python code and CSV samples which compares with pandas (which does not suffer from this). Hope this helps, thanks -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
