Columns starting with "__" have special meaning in vaex and are hidden. Users should not be creating such columns, unless they really really know what they are doing.
You can easily get access to them via
df = vaex.from_items(("__foo", np.asarray([0])))
df.get_column_names(hidden=True)
['__foo']
Same goes for seemingly any string after the double underscores
I don't have a use case for such names, just found it whilst testing interchange on #2150.
vaex was built locally from source (upstream
master
) on Ubuntu 20.04.
