### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages,
version, and platform.
Hi Arrow team, thanks for sharing such a powerful and fundamental data
handling lib! :)
I'm failing to read a hive partitioned parquet dataset when the partition
columns have a leading underscore in their names, using the latest Pandas 2.2.3
+ PyArrow 17.0.0 combination.
I admit I might be doing something wrong, but found nothing to guide me
after browsing the docs, searching the web, and even asking a few LLMs around
(!!!)... The fact is that other tools, like **duckdb** which I also use often,
have no issue reading the same dataset.
REPRODUCTION:
```
import pathlib
import tempfile
import pandas as pd
import pyarrow.dataset as ds
YEAR_COLUMN = '_year'
FILE_COLUMN = '_file'
with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as td:
dataset_path = pathlib.Path(td) / 'dataset'
# create parquet dataset partitioned by YEAR_COLUMN / FILE_COLUMN
pd.DataFrame([
{'data': 0, YEAR_COLUMN: 2020, FILE_COLUMN: 'a'},
{'data': 1, YEAR_COLUMN: 2020, FILE_COLUMN: 'a'},
{'data': 2, YEAR_COLUMN: 2020, FILE_COLUMN: 'b'},
{'data': 4, YEAR_COLUMN: 2020, FILE_COLUMN: 'b'},
{'data': 5, YEAR_COLUMN: 2020, FILE_COLUMN: 'b'},
{'data': 6, YEAR_COLUMN: 2021, FILE_COLUMN: 'b'},
{'data': 7, YEAR_COLUMN: 2021, FILE_COLUMN: 'c'},
{'data': 8, YEAR_COLUMN: 2021, FILE_COLUMN: 'c'},
]).to_parquet(
dataset_path,
partition_cols=[YEAR_COLUMN, FILE_COLUMN],
index=False,
)
# get dataset row_count for a given FILE_COLUMN value: 'a' in this case
dataset = ds.dataset(
dataset_path,
partitioning=ds.partitioning(flavor='hive')
)
row_count_for_file_a = sum(
batch.num_rows
for batch in dataset.to_batches(
columns=[YEAR_COLUMN],
filter=(ds.field(FILE_COLUMN) == 'a')
)
)
assert row_count_for_file_a == 2
```
FAILURE:
```

```
MORE:
* Removing the leading underscore from either of the partitioning columns
still fails.
* Only with no leading underscores in any of the partitioning columns does
the code work.
| | `YEAR_COLUMN='_year'` | `YEAR_COLUMN='year'` |
|----|-----------------------|-------------------------|
| **`FILE_COLUMN='_file'`** | No match for FieldRef.Name(_file) | No match
for FieldRef.Name(_file) |
| **`FILE_COLUMN='file'`** | No match for FieldRef.Name(file) | works |
LASTLY:
* A consistent observation is that a Pandas `pd.read_parquet` of said
dataset returns an empty dataframe, I suspect precisely due to the same
underlying motives.
QUESTION:
* I found no docs stating that leading underscores in hive-partition column
names are invalid: maybe I missed them.
* Could this be a bug? Or am I coding it wrong?
Thanks for the Arrow project and any insight/assistance on this.
