property
Column.arrow
the underlying pyarrow ChunkedArray, zero-copy
Python
arrow: pyarrow.ChunkedArray
Returns pyarrow.ChunkedArray — the underlying array (zero-copy)
Example#
Python
import pyarrow.compute as pc
col = t["score"]
pc.mean(col.arrow).as_py() # drop into raw Arrow compute
Notes#
arrow is zero-copy — it returns the exact ChunkedArray (or Array) the Column
wraps. It is the escape hatch for any Arrow kernel the operator set does not cover; the
Table-level equivalent is Table.arrow.
