### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform. I was doing something like this: ```python import numpy as np import pyarrow.parquet as pq tab = pq.read_table("non-existing.parquet") ``` This failed with: ``` tab = pq.read_table("train-00000-of-00004.parquet") File "/home/inferencer/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pyarrow/parquet/core.py", line 1793, in read_table dataset = ParquetDataset( File "/home/inferencer/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pyarrow/parquet/core.py", line 1291, in __init__ import pyarrow.dataset as ds File "/home/inferencer/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pyarrow/dataset.py", line 24, in <module> from pyarrow._dataset import ( # noqa File "pyarrow/_dataset.pyx", line 159, in init pyarrow._dataset File "pyarrow/_compute.pyx", line 2715, in pyarrow._compute.Expression._scalar File "pyarrow/scalar.pxi", line 1277, in pyarrow.lib.scalar File "pyarrow/array.pxi", line 57, in pyarrow.lib._is_array_like File "pyarrow/pandas-shim.pxi", line 126, in pyarrow.lib._PandasAPIShim._have_pandas_internal File "pyarrow/types.pxi", line 105, in pyarrow.lib._datatype_to_pep3118 File "pyarrow/pandas-shim.pxi", line 108, in pyarrow.lib._PandasAPIShim._check_import File "pyarrow/pandas-shim.pxi", line 50, in pyarrow.lib._PandasAPIShim._import_pandas File "/home/inferencer/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pandas/__init__.py", line 22, in <module> from pandas.compat import is_numpy_dev as _is_numpy_dev File "/home/inferencer/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pandas/compat/__init__.py", line 15, in <module> from pandas.compat.numpy import ( File "/home/inferencer/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pandas/compat/numpy/__init__.py", line 4, in <module> from pandas.util.version import Version File "/home/inferencer/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pandas/util/__init__.py", line 1, in <module> from pandas.util._decorators import ( # noqa:F401 File "/home/inferencer/.local/lib/python3.10/site-package s/pandas/util/_decorators.py", line 14, in <module> from pandas._libs.properties import cache_readonly # noqa:F401 File "/home/inferencer/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pandas/_libs/__init__.py", line 13, in <module> from pandas._libs.interval import Interval File "pandas/_libs/interval.pyx", line 1, in init pandas._libs.interval ValueError: numpy.dtype size changed, may indicate binary incompatibility. Expected 96 from C header, got 88 from PyObject ``` This is quite strange, because I hoped that pyarrow does not depend on pandas / pandas installed correctly. And it was strange that this threw only at `pq.read_table` call, and even before checking if file existed. I thought that pandas depended on pyarrow and not in reverse. Is it not true? And in any case, some explicit error message with minimal required pandas version might be more clear to the user. This was with: `pandas 1.4.3 and pyarrow-19.0.1` After I did `python -m pip uinstall pyarrow pandas` and reinstalled again (got `pandas-2.2.3 pyarrow-19.0.1`), the problem fixed itself.
