[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-5379) [Python] support pandas' nullable Integer type in from_pandas

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5379?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16937175#comment-16937175 ] 

Daniel Nugent commented on ARROW-5379:
--------------------------------------

Is this actually something that would be appropriate to implement with extension types? It just requires that the mask actually be used with Pandas integer columns.

> From https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/4168. We should add support for pandas' nullable Integer extension dtypes, as those could map nicely to arrows integer types. 
> Ideally this happens in a generic way though, and not specific for this extension type, which is discussed in ARROW-5271
