> Currently this is not supported:
> {code}
> In [37]: table = pa.table({'a': pa.array([1, 2], pa.duration('s'))}) 
> In [39]: table
> Out[39]: 
> pyarrow.Table
> a: duration[s]
> In [41]: pq.write_table(table, 'test_duration.parquet')
> ...
> ArrowNotImplementedError: Unhandled type for Arrow to Parquet schema conversion: duration[s]
> {code}
> There is no direct mapping to Parquet logical types. There is an INTERVAL type, but this more matches Arrow's  ( YEAR_MONTH or DAY_TIME) interval type. 
> But, those duration values could be stored as just integers, and based on the serialized arrow schema, it could be restored when reading back in.
