[BUG-REPORT]: 'TypeError: Expected Array, got <class 'pyarrow.lib.ChunkedArray'>'

Author: Piyush23RaiCreated Feb 6, 2025Updated Feb 6, 2025

I have code in which I am using applyinPandas along witha a udf function that processes two dataframes, one on which the groupby is applied and another is passed as paramter to the udf function.

Now whenever, I run the function for a smaller dataset let's say for around ~200k record - it runs smoothly finished within an hours.

But when the data size increases to >800k records - It throws following error
