It seems there is some ABI incompatibility on x86 Mac between our vendored C++ Pyarrow code (version 16.0) and the recently-released Pyarrow 19.0 Python code, which is resulting in files being produced from the ParquetWriter that are unreadable in Python. See: https://github.com/Point72/csp/actions/runs/12863970430/job/35865078010
Discussed with @timkpaine and there are two options: 1) pin back pyarrow to <19 to avoid the Python side upgrade and 2) upgrade our vendored C++ code to a higher version which is compatible. Due to other bugs in pyarrow 19 (see apache/arrow#45283) we decided to hold back on the upgrade until pyarrow 20.0, which (based on previous schedules) should come out in 2-3 months.
