    I was referring to the protocol between Scala and Python that is changed 
here and could act differently under some circumstances.  Here is the behavior 
of the `PythonRunner` protocol and `VectorizedPythonRunner` protocol that you 
introduce here:
    
    **PythonRunner**
    Data blocks are framed by a special length integer.  Scala reads each data 
block one at a time and checks the length code.  If the code is a 
`PythonException`, the error is read from Python and a `SparkException` is 
thrown with that being the cause.
    
    **VectorizedPythonRunner**
    A data stream is opened in Scala with `ArrowStreamReader` and batches are 
transferred until `ArrowStreamReader` returns False indicating there is no more 
data.  Only at this point are the special length codes checked to handle an 
error from Python.
    
    This behavior change would probably only cause problems if things are not 
working normally.  For example, what would happen if `pyarrow` was not 
installed on an executor?  With `PythonRunner` the ImportError would cause a 
`PythonException` to be transferred and thrown in Scala.  In 
`VectorizedPythonRunner` I believe the `ArrowStreamReader` would try to read 
the special length code and then fail somewhere internally to Arrow, not 
showing the ImportError.
    
    My point was that this type of behavior change should probably be 
implemented in a separate JIRA where we could make sure to handle all of these 
cases.
