This function is intended to replace
ak.to_categorical
, which is now deprecated. It is not called by the same name as the Arrow function that implements it, because the Awkward parlance is "convert to categorical", and I think we want ourak.str
API to be Awkward-looking, even if it uses Arrow under the hood.
