Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-253:
------------------------------------
This sounds like a reasonable plan. I'm supportive of limiting the integer
support to multiples of the standard 8 through 64-bit widths until there is
more clear demand and use cases for bit-packed types.
> Int types should only have width of 8*2^n (8, 16, 32, 64)

> Since arrow is focused on CPU efficient operations and we want to keep the
> spec simple to the minimum required we should restrict the Int type to width
> of 1, 2, 4 or 8 bytes
