[WIP] Use pyarrow serialization with `make_reader` by default #510

Closed selitvin closed 2 years ago

selitvin commented 4 years ago

PyArrow serialization can be much faster when serializing numpy arrays, however, it will mess up numpy scalar types (e.g. np.int8 will become int when deserialized).

We switch pyarrow serialization on by default and not test scalar types in tests.
