Brian Hulette updated BEAM-14540:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
With https://s.apache.org/batched-dofns (BEAM-14213), we want to encourage 
users to develop pipelines that process arrow data within the Python SDK, but 
communicating batches of data across SDKs or from SDK to Runner is left as 
future work. So when Arrow data is processed in the SDK, it must be converted 
to/from Rows for transmission over the Fn API. So the current ideal Python 
execution looks like:

1. read row oriented data over the Fn API, deserialize  with SchemaCoder 
2. Buffer rows and construct an arrow RecordBatch/Table object
3. Perform user computation(s)
4. Explode output RecordBatch/Table into rows
5. Serialize rows with SchemaCoder and write out over the Fn API

Note that (1,2) and (4,5) will exist in every stage of the user's pipeline, and 
they'll also exist when Python transforms (e.g. dataframe read_csv) are used in 
other SDKs. We should improve performance for this hot path by making a native 
(cythonized) implementation for (1,2) and (4,5).
