pcmoritz commented on issue #1360: ARROW-1854: [Python] Use pickle to serialize
numpy arrays of objects.

Yeah I came to the same conclusion, I'd like to implement duplication at
some point on the serialization level but it certainly won't happen before the
release.
Meanwhile a custom serialization context or a flag are both good solutions.

> [Python] Improve performance of serializing object dtype ndarrays
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-1854
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1854
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Python
> Reporter: Wes McKinney
> Assignee: Wes McKinney
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Fix For: 0.8.0
>
>
> I haven't looked carefully at the hot path for this, but I would expect these
> statements to have roughly the same performance (offloading the ndarray
> serialization to pickle)
> {code}
> In [1]: import pickle
> In [2]: import numpy as np
> In [3]: import pyarrow as pa
> a
> In [4]: arr = np.array(['foo', 'bar', None] * 100000, dtype=object)
> In [5]: timeit serialized = pa.serialize(arr).to_buffer()
> 10 loops, best of 3: 27.1 ms per loop
> In [6]: timeit pickled = pickle.dumps(arr)
> 100 loops, best of 3: 6.03 ms per loop
> {code}
> [~robertnishihara] [~pcmoritz] I encountered this while working on
> ARROW-1783, but it can likely be resolved independently
