Description
### What happens?
When using arrow_output_version (documented here: https://duckdb.org/docs/current/configuration/overview), certain data types fail with a "Expected 3 buffers" error.
See below reproducer.
Output:
> duckdb 1.5.4 | pyarrow 24.0.0
>
> VARINT defaults (sv=false, aov=1.0) : OK
> VARINT aov=1.4 : FAIL -> Expected 3 buffers for imported type extension, ArrowArray struct has 4
> GEOMETRY aov=1.5 : FAIL -> Expected 3 buffers for imported type binary, ArrowArray struct has 4
> ENUM sv=true + aov=1.5 : FAIL -> Expected 3 buffers for imported type string, ArrowArray struct has 4
### To Reproduce
```py
#!/usr/bin/env -S uv run --script
# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.12"
# dependencies = [
# "duckdb==1.5.4",
# "pyarrow>=22",
# ]
# ///
import duckdb
import pyarrow as pa
print(f"duckdb {duckdb.__version__} | pyarrow {pa.__version__}\n")
# VARINT/BIGNUM: defaults are fine
con = duckdb.connect()
pa.table(con.sql("SELECT (2**100)::VARINT AS v"))
print("VARINT defaults (sv=false, aov=1.0): OK")
# VARINT/BIGNUM: arrow_output_version >= 1.4 -> FAIL
con = duckdb.connect()
con.execute("SET arrow_output_version='1.4'")
try:
pa.table(con.sql("SELECT (2**100)::VARINT AS v"))
print("VARINT aov=1.4: OK (unexpected)")
except Exception as e:
print(f"VARINT aov=1.4: FAIL -> {e}")
# --- GEOMETRY: arrow_output_version = 1.5 -> FAIL
con = duckdb.connect()
con.execute("INSTALL spatial")
con.execute("LOAD spatial")
con.execute("SET arrow_output_version='1.5'")
try:
pa.table(con.sql("SELECT ST_Point(1, 2) AS g"))
print("GEOMETRY aov=1.5: OK (unexpected)")
except Exception as e:
print(f"GEOMETRY aov=1.5: FAIL -> {e}")
# --- ENUM: needs BOTH produce_arrow_string_view=true AND aov>=1.5 -----------
con = duckdb.connect()
con.execute("SET produce_arrow_string_view=true")
con.execute("SET arrow_output_version='1.5'")
try:
pa.table(con.sql("SELECT 'happy'::ENUM('happy', 'sad') AS v"))
print("ENUM sv=true + aov=1.5: OK (unexpected)")
except Exception as e:
print(f"ENUM sv=true + aov=1.5: FAIL -> {e}")
