Mike commented on ARROW-15018:
------------------------------
Any thought on this issue, is this something we can reasonably support? If we
can support it in Apache, I can move forward with [propagating the support into
Pandas|https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/28208#issuecomment-984011872].

> DataFrame Index modified during Feather serialization round trip
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-15018
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-15018
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Python
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 6.0.1
> Reporter: Mike
> Priority: Major
>
> Some (or all) indexes are converted to a {{RangeIndex}} after a Feather
> serialization/deserialization round trip. I came across this in pyarrow 3.0.0
> and 6.0.1 for both a {{MultiIndex}} and an empty dataframe
> ({{{}Dataframe.index{}}} -> {{{}RangeIndex{}}}).
>
> Desired behavior: A dataframe with any type of index would be supported and a
> serialization/deserialization round trip would preserve the index and yield
> an identical dataframe
>
> Please feel free to modify priority and issue type as appropriate, thanks!
