For a more general explanation of why we're deprecating PyArrow serialization, however, I will point out that `pickle` is the standard way to serialize objects in Python: you can expect many third-party types to be compatible and to serialize cleanly. PyArrow serialization would need a lot of work to support the same breadth of types; currently, it only supports a small subset. Note that you had to write your own PyArrow serialization callbacks (`serialize_Person` and `deserialize_Person`). In that regard, I find it a bit strange that you find `pickle` less easy to use, while it doesn't require user-defined callbacks. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
