Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-1664:
---------------------------------------
I'm not sure what the exact request is here. The way to integrate xarray and
Arrow should be for xarray to use Arrow under the hood, IMHO. Arrow isn't meant
as a general serialization layer - and besides, there's no reason it should be
faster than anything else at serializing foreign binary data.

> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Python
> Reporter: Mitar

> DataArray and Dataset are efficient in-memory representations for multi
> dimensional data. It would be great if one could share them between processes
> using Arrow.
