> Key: ARROW-2451

> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Python
> Reporter: Robert Nishihara
> Assignee: Robert Nishihara
> Priority: Major
>
> Right now certain dtypes like bool or fixed length strings are serialized as
> lists, which is inefficient. We can handle these more efficiently by casting
> them to uint8 and saving the original dtype as additional data.
