dask
has a behavioral change when pandas-2.x
& pyarrow
are installed. Some APIs try switching object
type columns to arrow[string]
for efficiencies arrow strings provide over object types in pandas. This causes a lot of pytest failures in dask_cudf
, that is currently being prevented by configured a dask.config
: dataframe.convert-string
to False
. However, this only happens properly for dask.DataFrame
's and not for dask_cudf.DataFrame
's.
Describe the solution you'd like
We need to update cudf
& dask
upstream to get this support for dask_cudf.DataFrame
as well when the device object is converted to host objects.
