Description

 

> arrow::write_parquet(iris, "~/iris") 
*** caught segfault ***
address (nil), cause 'memory not mapped' Traceback: 1: Table__from_dots(dots, schema) 2: shared_ptr_is_null(xp) 3: shared_ptr(Table, Table__from_dots(dots, schema)) 4: Table$create(x) 5: arrow::write_parquet(iris, "~/iris")

The segfault is easy to generate trying to write iris data to parquet. I have tried R 4.0.0 and R 4.0.2, I've installed the arrow (R) package from CRAN, source, nightly build, both with and without using the system arrow C++ installation. When using system arrow the installed version is:

 I realize that this is so basic that it seems improbable that your CI didn't catch something (i.e., that the issue has to do with my local environment) but would appreciate verification that version 1.0 works for others on centOS7
