DataFrame libraries in general, pandas and Dask specifically, are moving towards a better integration with PyArrow. This has many benefits, like improved performance and a reduced memory footprint. We want to connect with users to discuss how PyArrow can improve DataFrame libraries and what they expect out of PyArrow support. This can include things like improved performance, more consistent behavior or better interoperability with other libraries.
