OSX CI failed with

Fatal error condition occurred in /Users/runner/miniforge3/conda-bld/aws-c-common_1701169789367/work/source/allocator.c:172: allocator != ((void*)0)

which is a KP from TileDB-SOMA involving pyarrow>=13.0, MacOS only

What's weird here is TileDB-VCF is getting (as shown in the logs) pyarrow==9 ...

Also weird is that the KP @ihnorton and I have discussed affects MacOS x86_64 and arm64 equally, whereas here we see the fail only on x86_64 ... 🤔

We don't run tests on arm (no native hardware for azure pipelines)

I don't know why this error is surfacing now. Looking through the various feedstocks, I see there have been multiple updates in the last week to aws-sdk-cpp-feedstock and aws-crt-cpp-feedstock

https://github.com/conda-forge/aws-sdk-cpp-feedstock/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed
https://github.com/conda-forge/aws-crt-cpp-feedstock/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed

But the 9.0.x branch of arrow-cpp-feedstock hasn't been updated in 3 months

https://github.com/conda-forge/arrow-cpp-feedstock/commits/9.0.x/

So maybe some new fix in an AWS library hasn't been backported yet?

@jdblischak I tried installing tiledb-vcf 0.27.0 on my mac x86 laptop, along with core 2.18.3 et al. (which it already had), and pyarrow 9, and I cannot repro the above CI fail ...

[awenocur]

retrying with TileDB-VCF 0.27.1; hopefully it'll pull in Core 2.18.3 instead of Core 2.18.2 this time, which in turn will pull in the updated AWS SDK

[ihnorton]

Reverted to 2ee1044 which passed on linux and macos-arm64. Assuming that passes again on this run, we'll ship it as-is and pick up the osx-64 issue separately.

sc-38823 for the failure here.
