Wes McKinney resolved ARROW-1960.
---------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix
      Assignee: Wes McKinney

Since TensorFlow is a very large library to import unprompted, the best advice for this issue is "import tensorflow before pyarrow" until the compiler issues are resolved

> To work around some ABI incompatibility issues with libstdc++ (TF is using a newer compiler), we should consider importing tensorflow first if it is available before loading Arrow's shared libraries built with the manylinux1 toolchain. See discussion in
> https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/1450
> One question is whether TensorFlow's symbols will clash with Arrow's in some way that might impact its functioning.
