Description
We'd like to be able to round-trip NumPy ndarrays through Java, and create tensors in Java that can be eventually mapped to ndarrays in Python. Having even a basic Tensor implementation, with extension types, as a contrib module would help greatly.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked prior discussion and Apache Arrow pull request #8278; the issue does not name Java files, tests, or entry points. Done would mean supporting non-sparse tensors that can round-trip NumPy ndarrays and be created in Java for later mapping to Python ndarrays.
