Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-1894:
-------------------------------------
The purpose is to avoid copying during deserialization. I think that a
{{memoryview}} object in a collection would be pickled now instead of sent as a
sidecar (like Buffer, ndarray, etc.)
> [Python] Treat CPython memoryview or buffer objects equivalently to
> pyarrow.Buffer in pyarrow.serialize

> These should be treated as Buffer-like on serialize. We should consider how
> to "box" the buffers as the appropriate kind of object (Buffer, memoryview,
> etc.) when being deserialized
