Mitar created ARROW-2264:
----------------------------
Summary: Efficiently serialize numpy arrays with dtype of unicode
fixed length string
Key: ARROW-2264
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2264
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.8.0
Reporter: Mitar
Looking at the numpy array serialization code it seems that if I have a dtype
like "<U3" this will go through custom ndarray serializer and not through an
efficient one.
{{Example:}}{{>>> np.array(['aaa', 'bbb'])}}
{{array(['aaa', 'bbb'], dtype='<U3')}}
This should be able to work, no? It has fixed offsets and memory layout.
