Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

    I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

    I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

Here are my reproduction steps that does not work with PyArrow type:

df = pd.DataFrame({"a": pd.date_range("2018-01-01 00:00:00", "2018-01-07 00:00:00")}).astype({"a": "timestamp[ns][pyarrow]"})
date2pos = {date: i for i, date in enumerate(df['a'])}
df["a"].map(date2pos)


0   NaN
1   NaN
2   NaN
3   NaN
4   NaN
5   NaN
6   NaN
Name: a, dtype: float64

Issue Description

For some reason pd.DataFrame.map() function does not work with PyArrow timestamp[ns][pyarrow] type and does not map values.

Expected Behavior

Here is an expected behavior that works with the default pandas type datetime64[ns]:

df = pd.DataFrame({"a": pd.date_range("2018-01-01 00:00:00", "2018-01-07 00:00:00")})
date2pos = {date: i for i, date in enumerate(df['a'])}
df["a"].map(date2pos)
0    0
1    1
2    2
3    3
4    4
5    5
6    6
Name: a, dtype: int64
