Can't do certain queries on a DataFrame prior to LSDB import

[gitosaurus]

Bug report

When wanting to import a DataFrame into LSDB, some queries have to wait until after the import or they produce an error.

import json
from pathlib import Path
import pandas as pd

tns_path = Path('./tns/tns-all.json')
with tns_path.open('rb') as f_in:
    tns_objs = json.load(f_in)
tns_df = pd.DataFrame(tns_objs)
tns_f = tns_df.query("name_prefix == 'AT' and type.isna()")
# This query cannot be done prior to import
tns_f = tns_f.query("source_group == 'ZTF'")
tns_db = lsdb.from_dataframe(tns_f, ra_column='ra', dec_column='declination')
tns_db

Error produced:

ValueError: Metadata mismatch found in `from_delayed`.

Partition type: `pandas.core.frame.DataFrame`
+----------------------+---------------+-----------------+
| Column               | Found         | Expected        |
+----------------------+---------------+-----------------+
| 'Class_ADS_bibcodes' | null[pyarrow] | string[pyarrow] |
+----------------------+---------------+-----------------+

If this last query, source_group == 'ZTF', is done after import into LSDB, it works fine:

tns_path = Path('./tns/tns-all.json')
with tns_path.open('rb') as f_in:
    tns_objs = json.load(f_in)
tns_df = pd.DataFrame(tns_objs)
tns_df.shape
tns_f = tns_df.query("name_prefix == 'AT' and type.isna()")
tns_db = lsdb.from_dataframe(tns_f, ra_column='ra', dec_column='declination')
tns_db = tns_db.query("source_group == 'ZTF'")
