Marcel Ackermann updated ARROW-6222:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
I want to serialize pytorch tensors, but as they are not implemented in arrow 
yet I convert them to a numpy array like this: {{t.numpy()}} 
([https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/tensors.html?highlight=numpy#torch.Tensor.numpy)]
 which returns an {{ndarray{{. My tensors are 1-dimensional, the result is a 
1-dimensional ndarray.

Calling {{df.to_feather("fname.feather")}} yields 
{{pyarrow.lib.ArrowNotImplementedError: list<item: float>}}.

Next I tried {{pyarrow.array(t.numpy())}} which results in 
{{pyarrow.lib.ArrowInvalid: ('Could not convert [\n  0.00500498,\n  
-0.00732583,\n... with type pyarrow.lib.FloatArray: did not recognize Python 
value type when inferring an Arrow data type', 'Conversion failed for column 0 
with type object')}}.

I would appreciate if this would work more out-of-the-box.

I want to serialize pytorch tensors, but as they are not implemented in arrow 
yet I convert them to a numpy array like this: `t.numpy()` 
([https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/tensors.html?highlight=numpy#torch.Tensor.numpy)]
 which returns an `ndarray`. My tensors are 1-dimensional, the result is a 
1-dimensional ndarray.

Calling `df.to_feather("fname.feather")` yields 
`pyarrow.lib.ArrowNotImplementedError: list<item: float>`.

Next I tried `pyarrow.array(t.numpy())` which results in 
`pyarrow.lib.ArrowInvalid: ('Could not convert [\n  0.00500498,\n  
-0.00732583,\n... with type pyarrow.lib.FloatArray: did not recognize Python 
value type when inferring an Arrow data type', 'Conversion failed for column 0
