> This issue was raised here:
> https://github.com/wesm/feather/issues/359
> I explored this minimally against Arrow master:
> https://gist.github.com/wesm/2ebe0ca2461d1ecfba6185777238ad1f
> While it's pretty memory-wasteful, it might be better to preserve the intent 
> of the data type when converting to pandas data structures. It also allows 
> the data to round trip successfully
