Ian Cook updated ARROW-15731: ----------------------------- Description: Currently Arrow joins with data that contain a list column errors, even when the list column is not a join key. Here's an example using the R bindings: {code} library(arrow) library(dplyr) jedi <- data.frame(name = c("C-3PO", "Luke Skywalker"), jedi = c(FALSE, TRUE)) arrow_table(starwars) %>% left_join(jedi) %>% collect() #> Error in `handle_csv_read_error()`: #> ! Invalid: Data type list<item: string> is not supported in join non-key field {code} The ability to join would be a useful enhancement for workflows with tabular data where list columns can be common, and for geospatial workflows where geometry columns are stored as `list` or {{fixed_size_list}} (thanks [~paleolimbot] for mentioning that use case).
