[jira] [Created] (ARROW-550) [Format] Add a TensorMessage type

Wes McKinney created ARROW-550:
----------------------------------

             Summary: [Format] Add a TensorMessage type
                 Key: ARROW-550
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-550
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Format
            Reporter: Wes McKinney


Since all data message types at the moment are 1-dimensional, a "tensor" message will contain an array of dimensions and an order flag (C order vs. Fortran order) to enable data to be interpreted as multiple dimensions. This is similar to multidimensional arrays in APL or Fortran or MATLAB, ndarrays in NumPy, etc.
