I am trying to read parquet files using the dask read_parquet method and the filters kwarg. however it sometimes doesn't filter according to the given condition. Example: creating and saving data frame with a dates column import pandas as pd import numpy as np import dask.dataframe as dd nums = range(1,6) dates = pd.date_range('2018-07-01', periods=5, freq='1d') df = pd.DataFrame({'dates':dates, 'nums': nums}) ddf = dd.from_pandas(df, npartitions=3).to_parquet('test_par', engine = 'fastparquet') when i read and filter on the dates column from the 'test_par' folder it doesn't seem to work
