Concat DataFrame Reindexing only valid with uniquely valued Index objects
I am trying to concat the following dataframes:
df1
price side timestamp
timestamp
2016-01-04 00:01:15.631331072 0.7286 2 1451865675631331
2016-01-04 00:01:15.631399936 0.7286 2 1451865675631400
2016-01-04 00:01:15.631860992 0.7286 2 1451865675631861
2016-01-04 00:01:15.631866112 0.7286 2 1451865675631866
and:
df2
bid bid_size offer offer_size
timestamp
2016-01-04 00:00:31.331441920 0.7284 4000000 0.7285 1000000
2016-01-04 00:00:53.631324928 0.7284 4000000 0.7290 4000000
2016-01-04 00:01:03.131234048 0.7284 5000000 0.7286 4000000
2016-01-04 00:01:12.131444992 0.7285 1000000 0.7286 4000000
2016-01-04 00:01:15.631364096 0.7285 4000000 0.7290 4000000
With

I have removed additional columns and removed duplicates and NA where there could be a conflict - but I simply do not know what's wrong.
Solution 1:
You can mitigate this error without having to change your data or remove duplicates. Just create a new index with DataFrame.reset_index:
df = df.reset_index()
The old index is kept as a column in your dataframe, but if you don't need it you can do:
df = df.reset_index(drop=True)
Some prefer:
df.reset_index(inplace=True, drop=True)
Solution 2:
pd.concat requires that the indices be unique. To remove rows with duplicate indices, use
df = df.loc[~df.index.duplicated(keep='first')]

Note there is also pd.join, which can join DataFrames based on their indices,
and handle non-unique indices based on the how parameter. Rows with duplicate
index are not removed.

Solution 3:
Duplicated column names!
In my case the problem was because I had duplicated column names.
