Description

Thanks for stopping by to let us know something could be better!

Environment details

  • OS type and version: MacOS Darwin Kernel Version 22.1.0
  • Python version: 3.11
  • pip version: 23.2.1
  • google-cloud-bigquery version: 3.15.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create an Arrow backed dataframe with a large list field.
  2. Create a google.cloud.bigquery Client
  3. call Client.load_table_from_dataframe on this dataframe

Code example

# example
import pandas as pd
import pyarrow as pa
from google.cloud import bigquery as gbq

client= gbq.Client(
            project=<project_id>,
            credentials=<credentials>,
            location=<location>,
        )
df = pd.DataFrame({"x":pa.array(pd.Series([[2.2]*5]*10000000)).to_pandas(types_mapper=pd.ArrowDtype)})
client.load_table_from_dataframe(
            df, 'temporary_tables.chunked_array_error')
