> Using the DoubleArrayWritable example, I have added support for storing NumPy double arrays and matrices as arrays of doubles and nested arrays of doubles as value elements of Sequence Files.
> Each value element is a discrete matrix or array. This is useful where you have many matrices that you don't want to join into a single Spark Data Frame to store in a Parquet file.
> Pandas DataFrames can be easily converted to and from NumPy matrices, so I've also added the ability to store the schema-less data from DataFrames and Series that contain double data. 
> There seems to be demand for this functionality:

> I'll be issuing a PR for this shortly.
