@amol- Thanks! That's a nice high-level overview of the pyarrow library, that's indeed a very welcome addition! I added a bunch of comments (mostly minor, on wording etc).

@jorisvandenbossche I think this should have addressed all your concerns and should be ready to go

Arrow also provides support for various formats to get those tabular
data in and out of disk and networks. Most commonly used formats are
Parquet (:ref:`parquet`) and the IPC format (:ref:`ipc`).

I'm not sure the IPC format is really commonly used compared to, say, CSV :-)

Here I mentioned the formats that are column major. As CSV and JSON are row oriented I didn't mentioned them as primary choices, but they are mentioned in the "Saving and Loading Tables" section together with the other available formats.

Looks good on the principle, I posted a small number of comments separately :-)
