------------------------------------------

             Summary: [Python] Serializing deeply nested structures raises recursion error
                 Key: ARROW-11371
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11371
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Python
    Affects Versions: 1.0.1
         Environment: $ python --version
Python 3.6.12
$ pip list | grep pyarrow
pyarrow                 1.0.1

            Reporter: Alexander Dmitriev
         Attachments: pyarrow_recursion.py

When serializing deeply nested python structures such as:
{code:java}
data = [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[None]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]{code}
or 
{code:java}
data = OrderedDict([('a', OrderedDict([('a', OrderedDict([('a', OrderedDict([('a', OrderedDict([('a', OrderedDict([('a', OrderedDict([('a', OrderedDict([('a', OrderedDict([('a', None)]))]))]))]))]))]))]))]))]){code}
pyarrow raises the following exception:
{code:java}
>>> buffer = pyarrow.serialize(data).to_buffer()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pyarrow_recursion.py", line 11, in try_recursion
    buffer = pyarrow.serialize(data).to_buffer()
  File "pyarrow/serialization.pxi", line 285, in pyarrow.lib.SerializedPyObject.to_buffer
  File "pyarrow/serialization.pxi", line 248, in pyarrow.lib.SerializedPyObject.total_bytes.__get__
  File "pyarrow/error.pxi", line 84, in pyarrow.lib.check_status
pyarrow.lib.ArrowInvalid: Max recursion depth reached
{code}

While this not the prime use case of pyarrow.serialize, it would be nice to have a much larger recursion limit here, to not run into this issue with auto-generated structures quite so often.

An example script for reproducing the error can be found in the attachments.
