Antoine Pitrou resolved ARROW-1389.

    Resolution: Later

Or it can simply rely on pickling. There doesn't seem to be any motivation on this, so closing.

>             Project: Apache Arrow
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Python
>            Reporter: Philipp Moritz
>            Priority: Minor

> For Python serialization it would be great if we had Arrow support for arbitrary precision integers, see the comment in
> https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/de7c6715ba244e119913bfa31b8de46dbbd450bf/python/pyarrow/tests/test_serialization.py#L183
> Long integers are for example used in the uuid python module and having this would increase serialization performance for uuids and also make the code cleaner.
> I wonder if this is more generally useful too, any thoughts?
