Uwe L. Korn updated ARROW-1156:
-------------------------------
Comment: was deleted
(was: {{from_pandas}} can also do this using the {{schema=}} parameter. Sadly
there is a bug currently https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1125 so
that you have to supply the full schema.)
> pyarrow.Array.from_pandas should take a type parameter

>
> It's convenient to infer the data type so that users can just write
> {{pyarrow.Array.from_pandas(arr)}}, however, sometimes users want
> fine-grained control, e.g., if we have an object type numpy array, whose
> values are all null. When we convert it to an arrow column vector, we may
> need a specific type instead of NullType.
