Wes McKinney updated ARROW-5931:
--------------------------------
Description:
A use case here is when an array needs to reference some external data. For
example, suppose that we wanted to implement an array that references a
sequence of Python objects as {{PyObject*}}. Obviously, a {{PyObject*}} must be
managed by the Python interpreter.
For a vector of some {{T*}} to be sent through the IPC machinery, it must be
embedded in some Arrow type on the wire. For example, the memory resident
version of {{PyObject*}} might be 8-bytes per value (1 pointer per value) while
being serialized to the binary IPC protocol, such {{PyObject*}} values must be
serialized into an Arrow Binary type.
