[jira] [Created] (ARROW-1654) [Python] pa.DataType cannot be pickled

Li Jin created ARROW-1654:
-----------------------------

             Summary: [Python] pa.DataType cannot be pickled
                 Key: ARROW-1654
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1654
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Li Jin


In [26]: t
Out[26]: DataType(int64)

In [25]: pickle.dumps(t)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-25-f90063f6658b> in <module>()
----> 1 pickle.dumps(t)

/home/icexelloss/miniconda3/envs/spark-dev/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pyarrow/lib.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so in pyarrow.lib.DataType.__reduce_cython__()

TypeError: no default __reduce__ due to non-trivial __cinit__

This is discovered when trying to send a pa.DataType along with a udf in pyspark. The workaround is to send pyspark DataType and convert to pa.DataType. It would be nice to able to pickle pa.DataType.
