# Table.arrow

## Example

```python
raw = t.arrow                       # the underlying pyarrow.Table
```

Use it to reach any Arrow kernel lsdtools does not wrap:

```python
import pyarrow.compute as pc
avg = pc.mean(t.arrow.column("score")).as_py()
```

## Notes

`arrow` is **zero-copy** — it hands back the exact `pyarrow.Table` the `Table` holds, not a copy.
It is the escape hatch for any Arrow operation the verb set does not cover.
