Description
Reading a nested ndjson file using arrow::read_json_arrow with the default `as_data_frame=TRUE` causes an immediate session crash, but switching to `as_data_frame=FALSE` works fine and the resulting arrow object schema is correct.
library(tidyr) library(arrow) library(jsonlite) # Create two test datasets: long_df and a variant that nests long_df into # a dataframe with a list-column 'nest_level1' containing a dataframe long_df <- tidyr::expand_grid(ABC = LETTERS[1:3], xyz = letters[24:26], num = 1:3) long_df[["ftr1"]] <- runif(nrow(long_df)) long_df[["ftr2"]] <- rpois(nrow(long_df), 100) nested_frame_level1 <- tidyr::nest(long_df, nest_level1 = c(num, ftr1, ftr2)) # Write and validate nested ndjson jsonlite::stream_out(nested_frame_level1, con = file("nested_frame_level1.json")) readLines("nested_frame_level1.json", n = 2) # check we have valid ndjson here # This does not cause a session crash nested_arrow <- arrow::read_json_arrow(file = "nested_frame_level1.json", as_data_frame = FALSE) nested_arrow$schema # correctly interprets 'nest_level1` as `list<item: struct<num: int64, ftr1: double, ftr2: int64>>` # This causes a session crash nested_df <- arrow::read_json_arrow(file = "nested_frame_level1.json", as_data_frame = TRUE)
The R package version of Arrow is latest CRAN release (arrow * 0.15.1.1, 2019-11-05, CRAN (R 3.5.2)). I'm running this code in a slightly older R version (3.5.1), macOS 10.14.6, x86_64, darwin15.6.0, via RStudio 1.2.5001.
[edit: formatting fix]
