BUG: Index containing NA behaves absolutely unpredictably when length exceeds 128 · Issue #58924 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Pandas version checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
• I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd

OK:

n, val = 127, pd.NA idx = pd.Index(range(n), dtype="Int64").union(pd.Index([val], dtype="Int64")) s = pd.Series(index=idx, data=range(n+1), dtype="Int64") s.drop(0)

Still OK:

n, val = 128, 128 idx = pd.Index(range(n), dtype="Int64").union(pd.Index([val], dtype="Int64")) s = pd.Series(index=idx, data=range(n+1), dtype="Int64") s.drop(0)

But this FAILS:

n, val = 128, pd.NA idx = pd.Index(range(n), dtype="Int64").union(pd.Index([val], dtype="Int64")) s = pd.Series(index=idx, data=range(n+1), dtype="Int64") s.drop(0) # ValueError: 'indices' contains values less than allowed (-128 < -1)

Expected no error

WORKAROUND. to filter out elements, use a boolean mask/indexing instead of s.drop():

Issue Description

When NA is present in Index and the length of the Index exceeds 128, it behaves in a completely weird way.

This bug can be narrowed down to IndexEngine.get_indexer() or MaskedIndexEngine.get_indexer(), as these examples suggest:

axis = pd.Index(range(250), dtype='Int64').union(pd.Index([pd.NA], dtype='Int64')) new_axis = axis.drop(0) axis.get_indexer(new_axis)[-5:] # array([246, 247, 248, 249, -6])

Expected array([246, 247, 248, 249, 250])

axis = pd.Index(range(254), dtype='Int64').union(pd.Index([pd.NA], dtype='Int64')) new_axis = axis.drop(0) axis.get_indexer(new_axis)[-5:] # array([250, 251, 252, 253, -2])

Expected array([250, 251, 252, 253, 254])

These examples further suggest that the root cause of the bug is in how NaN is represented in and is interacting with the hash tables that Index uses for its _engine.
