Depends upon fixing #2920

[jpivarski]

Since the fix in this PR is also a blocker for #2920 (mutual blockers), I'll fix #2920 here in this branch. I don't think you're actively working on it or have unmerged local changes, but let me know if I'm wrong.

[jpivarski]

Well, this error is different. Didn't we see it before? Is it getting a version of pyarrow that has a bug in one of its string functions?

@jpivarski yes, that's a flaky test on MacOS. I reported it to PyArrow IIRC, but it's not exactly easy to find a reproducer! It seems to only happen on one MacOS test sometimes.

I'm re-running the test job that failed.
