Incompatible functions with newer dask versions

[l-althueser]

I was using da.to_dataframe() and similar functions with the newest dask version. da is throwing an error that new_dd_object is no longer part of the dask core. This is indeed True. I also tried to find a quick fix but it seems like dask did a major change on their end.

One can reproduce the issue by trying to do the import:

from dask.dataframe.core import new_dd_object

See dask_awkward\lib\io\io.py line 471.

Dataframe interop is known to be broken since about January. We chose to leave things like this rather than have dask-awkward broken in its entirety while we try to fix things. In the meantime, dask upstream has remained a moving target to make that fix still not in scope, and indeed they have also broken our library in other ways :|

I had the same impression. Thank you! For my use case it was possible to simply downgrade dask to the 2024.12.1 version.
