[Python] exitCode: <139> when csv file converting parquet using pandas/pyarrow libraries #32152
Description
Our main requirement is to read source file (structured/semi structured /unstructured) which are residing in AWS s3 through AWS redshift database, where our customer have direct access to analyze the data very quickly/seamlessly for reporting purpose without defining the schema info for the file.
We have created an data lake (aws s3) workspace where our customers dumps csv/parquet huge size files (like 10/15 GB). We have developed a framework which is consuming pandas/pyarrow (parquet) libraries to read source files in chunking manner and identifying schema meaning (datatype/length) and push it to AWS Glue where AWS redshift database can talk seamlessly to s3 files can read very quickly.
Following is the snippet of parquet conversion where i'm getting this error. Please take a look

Weston Pace / @westonpace:
Can you raise a different error other than SystemExit or provide a traceback? This is a rather large snippet of code to parse through to figure out which line might be failing. Also, the exit code you are mentioning (139) does not seem like something that pyarrow would configure. Pyarrow doesn't really interact with exit codes.

we did try with traceback, exception handler however nothing worked here.
when pandas hand over the chunk data to pyarrow which is responsible to converting into parquet file. we suspect during the process of converting it's failing however it's not throwing the right error code/error message hence need your help. kindly let me know if anything can be helpful is really appreciated. since we are running into this issue we couldn't deliver this project as it's dependency at the python libraries like pandas/pyarrow.
