Arrays and Scalars

Factory Functions

These functions create new Arrow arrays:

array(obj[, type, mask, size, from_pandas])

Create pyarrow.Array instance from a Python object.

nulls(size[, type])

Create a strongly-typed Array instance with all elements null.

Array Types

Concrete class for Arrow arrays of int8 data type.

Int16Array

Concrete class for Arrow arrays of int16 data type.

Int32Array

Concrete class for Arrow arrays of int32 data type.

Int64Array

Concrete class for Arrow arrays of int64 data type.

NullArray
