Christopher Osborn commented on ARROW-1614:
-------------------------------------------
Thank you [~chrish42] for taking this on! I was happy to find this ticket. I
also need to store constant-dimension tensors in tables, with the intention of
then exposing them in Python as ndarrays and in C++ as Eigen Matrix/Tensor
views. I'm still ramping up on Arrow (and so far only in C++), and don't really
understand the ExtensionType facility yet, but would be happy to lend a hand if
possible. I was about to start picking my way painfully down a similar road.

> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: C++, Format
> Reporter: Wes McKinney
> Priority: Major
>
> In an Arrow table, we would like to add support for a column that has values
> cells each containing a tensor value, with all tensors having the same
> dimensions. These would be stored as a binary value, plus some metadata to
> store type and shape/strides.
