What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR removes pandas <> Arrow <> pandas conversion in Arrow-optimized Python UDF by directly using PyArrow.
Why are the changes needed?
Python UDF arrow serializer has a lot of overhead from converting arrow batches into pandas series and converting UDF results back to a pandas dataframe.
We can instead convert Python object directly into arrow to avoid the expensive pandas conversion.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
Legacy type coercion (arrow batch eval)
New type coercion (arrow batch eval):
How was this patch tested?
Added tests for both the legacy and new codepath, for arrow-batch eval
Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling?
