-----------------------------------

             Summary: [Format] Add specification document for the serialization 
scheme used in Python
                 Key: ARROW-1422
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1422
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Format, Python
            Reporter: Wes McKinney
             Fix For: 0.7.0


In discussing the new {{pyarrow.serialize}} function with attendees at 
JupyterCon last week, there is some interest in possibly using this 
serialization scheme (a union with scalar values + object structure, with a 
sidecar of tensors) beyond Python. For example, it would be interesting to be 
able to interact with this "data structure" in JavaScript. It may be worth 
writing down the details of how this works so that other implementations can be 
created without having to pore through the C++ code for details
