Description

Would be good to maintain unit tests that cover all the data types and understand roundtrip behavior.

Create two unit tests: one for PyArrow types and one for Pandas types. For each, create a table/DataFrame where there is one column for each possible data type. Verify the table can be roundtripped. If there are any that don't roundtrip, comment them out and create a new GitHub issue to track support for the data type.
