-------------------------------------
Summary: [Python] Introduce SerializationContext to register
custom serialization callbacks
Key: ARROW-1418
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1418
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Python
Affects Versions: 0.6.0
Reporter: Philipp Moritz
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.7.0
In the first iteration of the Python serialization code, we used global
variables to store the custom serialization and deserialization callback
functions. This global state is undesirable because if the user wants to use
different serialization callbacks with different types registered, they need to
remember resetting the state. As Wes suggested, a good way to address this is
by introducing a SerializationContext that has the callbacks and gets passed
around.
