> Key: SPARK-21187
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-21187
> Project: Spark

> This is to track adding the remaining type support in Arrow Converters.
> Currently, only primitive data types are supported. '
> Remaining types:
> * -*Date*-
> * -*Timestamp*-
> * *Complex*: -Struct-, -Array-, -Map-
> * -*Decimal*-
> * -*Binary*-
> * -*Categorical*- when converting from Pandas
> Some things to do before closing this out:
> * -Look to upgrading to Arrow 0.7 for better Decimal support (can now write
> values as BigDecimal)-
> * -Need to add some user docs-
> * -Make sure Python tests are thorough-
> * Check into complex type support mentioned in comments by [~leif], should
> we support mulit-indexing?
