Philipp Moritz created ARROW-1389:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Support arbitrary precision integers
Key: ARROW-1389
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1389
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Philipp Moritz
Priority: Minor
For Python serialization it would be great if we had Arrow support for
arbitrary precision integers, see the comment in
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/de7c6715ba244e119913bfa31b8de46dbbd450bf/python/pyarrow/tests/test_serialization.py#L183
Long integers are for example used in the uuid python module and having this
would increase serialization performance for uuids and also make the code
cleaner.
I wonder if this is more generally useful too, any thoughts?
