[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-3587) Efficient serialization for Arrow Objects (array, table, tensor, etc)

["Wes McKinney (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3587?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16659749#comment-16659749 ] 

Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-3587:
-------------------------------------

No objections from me. The kinds of objects supported by {{pyarrow.serialize}} as you see are quite limited at the moment

>                 Key: ARROW-3587
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3587
>             Project: Apache Arrow
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: C++, Plasma (C++), Python
>            Reporter: Siyuan Zhuang
>            Priority: Major
>
> Currently, Arrow seems to have poor serialization support for its own objects.
> For example,
>   
> {code}
> import pyarrow 
> arr = pyarrow.array([1, 2, 3, 4]) 
> pyarrow.serialize(arr)
> {code}
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
>  File "pyarrow/serialization.pxi", line 337, in pyarrow.lib.serialize
>  File "pyarrow/serialization.pxi", line 136, in pyarrow.lib.SerializationContext._serialize_callback
>  pyarrow.lib.SerializationCallbackError: pyarrow does not know how to serialize objects of type <class 'pyarrow.lib.Int64Array'>.
> I am working Ray & modin project, using plasma to store Arrow objects. Lack of direct serialization support harms the performance, so I would like to push a PR to fix this problem.
> I wonder if it is welcome or is there someone else doing it?
