> [C++/Python] Support necessary functionality to have an Arrow-string type in
> pandas
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: ARROW-9401
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9401
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: C++, Python

> Priority: Major
>
> This should serve as an umbrella issue for the needed functionality to have
> an Apache Arrow backed string type in {{pandas}}. In addition to the string
> kernels (ARROW-555), we probably need to implement some more support
> functionality to efficiently the {{pandas}} interfaces.
> Some of these functions are already present in {{fletcher}} but a native
> string type in {{pandas}} should not have a hard dependency on {{numba}}.
