Jim Crist commented on ARROW-3910:
----------------------------------
Should `to_pandas_dtype()` return object dtype for date types as well?
```
In [1]: import pyarrow as pa
In [2]: pa.date32().to_pandas_dtype()
Out[2]: dtype('<M8[ns]')
```
This is what dask uses to infer pandas dtypes from an arrow schema.
> [Python] Set date_as_object to True in *.to_pandas as default after
> deduplicating logic implemented
