Research direction
Reproduce the example in Julia with Arrow and DataFrames, using the shown Arrow.write and Arrow.Table calls. Then trace the Any concretization routine involved in reading the mixed-integer-and-float column; done means the resulting DataFrame preserves the values 3 and 4.5 instead of producing 1.5e-323 for the first value.
