Description
dtypes_backend
options:
"default"
(current "mixed" behavior, where most extension dtypes are used but not Float64Dtype or StringDtype) -- edit: might want to checkdtype_backend
in pandas global options (per API: Setting Arrow-backed dtypes by default pandas-dev/pandas#51433),- None (all legacy types),
"numpy_nullable"
corresponds to existing behavior but also nullable floats (feat: Use nullable Float64Dtype to allow NULL and NaN to be represented in the same Series whendtype_backend="numpy_nullable"
#618) and strings (somewhat related: ENH: option efficient memory use by downcasting #275 (comment))."pyarrow"
(all Arrow dtypes)
Implementation note: we probably need to call to_arrow
for all but default, where to_dataframe
is still OK.
