tests.unit.test_arrow: many tests failed

[flaky-bot]

Many tests failed at the same time in this package.

• I will close this issue when there are no more failures in this package and
  there is at least one pass.
• No new issues will be filed for this package until this issue is closed.
• If there are already issues for individual test cases, I will close them when
  the corresponding test passes. You can close them earlier, if you prefer, and
  I won't reopen them while this issue is still open.

Here are the tests that failed:

• test_series_from_arrow[expected0-pyarrow_array0]
• test_series_from_arrow[expected1-pyarrow_array1]
• test_series_from_arrow[expected2-pyarrow_array2]
• test_series_from_arrow[expected3-pyarrow_array3]
• test_series_from_arrow[expected4-pyarrow_array4]
• test_series_from_arrow[expected5-pyarrow_array5]
• test_series_from_arrow[expected6-pyarrow_array6]
• test_series_from_arrow[expected7-pyarrow_array7]
• test_series_from_arrow[expected8-pyarrow_array8]
• test_series_from_arrow[expected9-pyarrow_array9]
• test_series_from_arrow[expected10-pyarrow_array10]
• test_series_from_arrow[expected11-pyarrow_array11]

• test_series_from_arrow[expected15-pyarrow_array15]
• test_series_from_arrow[expected16-pyarrow_array16]
• test_series_from_arrow[expected17-pyarrow_array17]
• test_series_from_arrow[time-nanoseconds-arrow-round-trip]
• test_series_from_arrow[time-nanoseconds-arrow-from-string] (tests.unit.test_arrow: test_series_from_arrow[time-nanoseconds-arrow-from-string] failed #120)

Looks like this issue is flaky. 😟

I'm going to leave this open and stop commenting.

A human should fix and close this.

When run at the same commit (12156f4), this test passed in one build (Build Status, Sponge) and failed in another build (Build Status, Sponge).

This has something to do with a pandas release candidate pandas==2.2.0rc0. In this release candidate, make_block() is deprecated. It got quickly reverted for the same issue we are encountering here, as pyarrow is still using this method. We will keep this issue open, wait for the newer pre-release version of pandas to come out, and close this issue when the tests stop failing.

@Linchin Rather than sitting on this and waiting for pandas to change their release candidate (rc): I would suggest we update our install instructions to not use this particular rc during testing so that this issue can be closed.

• pandas==2.2.0rc0

I would be very specific in pinpointing this version versus some sort of greater than equality check so that we don't accidentally prevent it from trying new versions when 2.2.0rc1 OR higher rolls out.

[Linchin]

That's a great idea! I'll do this
