BUG: Can't do merge_asof with tolerance and pyarrow dtypes · Issue #56486 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Pandas version checks

Reproducible Example

import datetime

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame( { "timestamp": pd.Series( [datetime.datetime(2023, 1, 1)], dtype="timestamp[us, UTC][pyarrow]" ), "value": ["1"], } )

pd.merge_asof(df, df, on="timestamp") # OK pd.merge_asof(df, df, on="timestamp", tolerance=pd.to_timedelta("1s")) # fails

error is: pandas.errors.MergeError: key must be integer, timestamp or float

Issue Description

support for pyarrow dtypes was recently added to pd.merge_asof (#52904). It works fine, excepted when I specify a tolerance argument. Then it throws pandas.errors.MergeError: key must be integer, timestamp or float

Expected Behavior

It should work as expected, just like it does with datetime64[ns], but there's probably some conversion work involved.
