Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-13007:
----------------------------------------

>
> It is possible to do:
> {code:java}
> pd.DataFrame([[{'1': None}]], columns =["s"]).to_feather('/tmp/x'){code}
> But using a Set instead of a dictionary is not possible
> {code:java}
> pd.DataFrame([[{'1'}]], columns =["s"]).to_feather('/tmp/x'){code}
