Review Comment:
   I think this is the usual method that Python developers recommend for 
checking the type of an object when you don't know if the module is loaded. It 
looks like this method is used in many other places in the PySpark code.
   
   One improvement would be to explicitly check the module also, like this:
   
   ```py
   if (type(t).__module__, type(t).__name__) == ("pyarrow.lib", "Table"):
   ```
   
   I am happy to use a different approach but I am not sure which approach 
would be an improvement. I think the approach you suggest will not work because 
`isinstance` expects the name the module was loaded as (usually `pa`) but the 
method to check if PyArrow is loaded (`"pyarrow" in sys.modules`) needs the 
library name.
