> Checking a PyArrow datatype object for equality with non-PyArrow datatypes causes a `ValueError` to be raised, rather than either returning a True/False value, or returning [NotImplemented|https://docs.python.org/3/library/constants.html#NotImplemented] if the comparison isn't implemented.
> E.g. attempting to call:
> {code:java}
> import pyarrow
> pyarrow.int32() == 'foo'
> {code}
> results in:
> {code:java}
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "types.pxi", line 1221, in pyarrow.lib.type_for_alias
> KeyError: 'foo'
> During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "t.py", line 2, in <module>
>     pyarrow.int32() == 'foo'
>   File "types.pxi", line 90, in pyarrow.lib.DataType.__richcmp__
>   File "types.pxi", line 113, in pyarrow.lib.DataType.equals
>   File "types.pxi", line 1223, in pyarrow.lib.type_for_alias
> ValueError: No type alias for foo
> {code}
> The expected outcome for the above would be for the comparison to return `False`, as that's the general behaviour for comparisons between objects of different types (e.g. `1 == 'foo'` or `object() == 12.4` both return `False`).
