📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Dependency Updates

  • Expanded PyArrow compatibility to support version 19.0.0 and newer without an upper version limit across supported environments and packages.

• Bug Fixes

  • Suppressed PyArrow deprecation warnings during Feather file operations.
  • Adjusted legacy ORC timestamp tests for newer PyArrow versions.
  • Updated quantile sorting compatibility for PyArrow 25 and newer while preserving support for earlier versions.

Walkthrough

The pull request removes the PyArrow <24 upper bound from dependency metadata. Feather operations suppress matching deprecation warnings. ORC timestamp tests skip on PyArrow 24 or newer. Quantile sorting supports PyArrow 25+ syntax.

Changes

PyArrow compatibility

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Remove PyArrow upper bounds dependencies.yaml, conda/environments/*, conda/recipes/*, python/*/pyproject.toml	PyArrow requirements now allow versions >=19.0.0 without the previous <24 limit.
Handle PyArrow I/O behavior python/cudf/cudf/io/feather.py, python/cudf/cudf/tests/input_output/test_feather.py, python/cudf/cudf/tests/input_output/test_orc.py	Feather read and write calls suppress matching FutureWarning messages. Legacy out-of-range ORC timestamp tests skip for PyArrow 24 or newer.
Support PyArrow 25 sorting syntax python/pylibcudf/tests/test_quantiles.py	_pyarrow_quantiles uses explicit null placement in sort keys for PyArrow 25+ and retains the older API for earlier versions.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f953b

The PR enables PyArrow 24.x by removing the previous version cap, but runtime compatibility coverage for that version is not yet established, so merge is reasonable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to confirm affected paths.
