Peter Aberline updated SPARK-8510:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
Using the DoubleArrayWritable as an example, I have added support for storing 
NumPy arrays and matrices as elements of Sequence Files.

Each value element is a discrete matrix or array. This is useful where you have 
many matrices that you don't want to join into a single Spark DataFrame to 
store in a Parquet file.

There seems to be demand for this functionality:

I originally put this work in PR 6995, but closed it after suggestions from a 
user to use NumPy's built in serialization. My second version is in PR 8384.
