    Create pyarrow.Array instance from a Python object.

    Parameters
    ----------
    obj : sequence, iterable, ndarray, pandas.Series, Arrow-compatible array
        If both type and size are specified may be a single use iterable. If
        not strongly-typed, Arrow type will be inferred for resulting array.
        Any Arrow-compatible array that implements the Arrow PyCapsule Protocol
        (has an ``__arrow_c_array__`` method) can be passed as well.
    type : pyarrow.DataType
        Explicit type to attempt to coerce to, otherwise will be inferred from
        the data.
    mask : array[bool], optional
        Indicate which values are null (True) or not null (False).
    size : int64, optional
        Size of the elements. If the input is larger than size bail at this
        length. For iterators, if size is larger than the input iterator this
        will be treated as a "max size", but will involve an initial allocation
        of size followed by a resize to the actual size (so if you know the
        exact size specifying it correctly will give you better performance).
    from_pandas : bool, default None
        Use pandas's semantics for inferring nulls from values in
        ndarray-like data. If passed, the mask tasks precedence, but
        if a value is unmasked (not-null), but still null according to
        pandas semantics, then it is null. Defaults to False if not
        passed explicitly by user, or True if a pandas object is
        passed in.
    safe : bool, default True
        Check for overflows or other unsafe conversions.
    memory_pool : pyarrow.MemoryPool, optional
        If not passed, will allocate memory from the currently-set default
        memory pool.

    Returns
    -------
    array : pyarrow.Array or pyarrow.ChunkedArray
        A ChunkedArray instead of an Array is returned if:

        - the object data overflowed binary storage.
        - the object's ``__arrow_array__`` protocol method returned a chunked
          array.

    Notes
    -----
    Timezone will be preserved in the returned array for timezone-aware data,
    else no timezone will be returned for naive timestamps.
    Internally, UTC values are stored for timezone-aware data with the
    timezone set in the data type.

    Pandas's DateOffsets and dateutil.relativedelta.relativedelta are by
    default converted as MonthDayNanoIntervalArray. relativedelta leapdays
    are ignored as are all absolute fields on both objects. datetime.timedelta
    can also be converted to MonthDayNanoIntervalArray but this requires
    passing MonthDayNanoIntervalType explicitly.

    Converting to dictionary array will promote to a wider integer type for
    indices if the number of distinct values cannot be represented, even if
    the index type was explicitly set. This means that if there are more than
    127 values the returned dictionary array's index type will be at least
    pa.int16() even if pa.int8() was passed to the function. Note that an
    explicit index type will not be demoted even if it is wider than required.

        Convert to a pandas-compatible NumPy array or DataFrame, as appropriate

        Parameters
        ----------
        memory_pool : MemoryPool, default None
            Arrow MemoryPool to use for allocations. Uses the default memory
            pool if not passed.
        categories : list, default empty
            List of fields that should be returned as pandas.Categorical. Only
            applies to table-like data structures.
        strings_to_categorical : bool, default False
            Encode string (UTF8) and binary types to pandas.Categorical.
        zero_copy_only : bool, default False
            Raise an ArrowException if this function call would require copying
            the underlying data.
        integer_object_nulls : bool, default False
            Cast integers with nulls to objects
        date_as_object : bool, default True
            Cast dates to objects. If False, convert to datetime64 dtype with
            the equivalent time unit (if supported). Note: in pandas version
            < 2.0, only datetime64[ns] conversion is supported.
        timestamp_as_object : bool, default False
            Cast non-nanosecond timestamps (np.datetime64) to objects. This is
            useful in pandas version 1.x if you have timestamps that don't fit
            in the normal date range of nanosecond timestamps (1678 CE-2262 CE).
            Non-nanosecond timestamps are supported in pandas version 2.0.
            If False, all timestamps are converted to datetime64 dtype.
        use_threads : bool, default True
            Whether to parallelize the conversion using multiple threads.
        deduplicate_objects : bool, default True
            Do not create multiple copies Python objects when created, to save
            on memory use. Conversion will be slower.
        ignore_metadata : bool, default False
            If True, do not use the 'pandas' metadata to reconstruct the
            DataFrame index, if present
        safe : bool, default True
            For certain data types, a cast is needed in order to store the
            data in a pandas DataFrame or Series (e.g. timestamps are always
            stored as nanoseconds in pandas). This option controls whether it
            is a safe cast or not.
        split_blocks : bool, default False
            If True, generate one internal "block" for each column when
            creating a pandas.DataFrame from a RecordBatch or Table. While this
            can temporarily reduce memory note that various pandas operations
            can trigger "consolidation" which may balloon memory use.
        self_destruct : bool, default False
            EXPERIMENTAL: If True, attempt to deallocate the originating Arrow
            memory while converting the Arrow object to pandas. If you use the
            object after calling to_pandas with this option it will crash your
            program.

            Note that you may not see always memory usage improvements. For
            example, if multiple columns share an underlying allocation,
            memory can't be freed until all columns are converted.
        maps_as_pydicts : str, optional, default `None`
            Valid values are `None`, 'lossy', or 'strict'.
            The default behavior (`None`), is to convert Arrow Map arrays to
            Python association lists (list-of-tuples) in the same order as the
            Arrow Map, as in [(key1, value1), (key2, value2), ...].

            If 'lossy' or 'strict', convert Arrow Map arrays to native Python dicts.
            This can change the ordering of (key, value) pairs, and will
            deduplicate multiple keys, resulting in a possible loss of data.

            If 'lossy', this key deduplication results in a warning printed
            when detected. If 'strict', this instead results in an exception
            being raised when detected.
        types_mapper : function, default None
            A function mapping a pyarrow DataType to a pandas ExtensionDtype.
            This can be used to override the default pandas type for conversion
            of built-in pyarrow types or in absence of pandas_metadata in the
            Table schema. The function receives a pyarrow DataType and is
            expected to return a pandas ExtensionDtype or ``None`` if the
            default conversion should be used for that type. If you have
            a dictionary mapping, you can pass ``dict.get`` as function.
        coerce_temporal_nanoseconds : bool, default False
            Only applicable to pandas version >= 2.0.
            A legacy option to coerce date32, date64, duration, and timestamp
            time units to nanoseconds when converting to pandas. This is the
            default behavior in pandas version 1.x. Set this option to True if
            you'd like to use this coercion when using pandas version >= 2.0
            for backwards compatibility (not recommended otherwise).

        First, let's understand the structure of our dataset when viewed in a rectangular data model. 
        The total of 5 respondents answered the question "How much did you like the movie x?".
        The value -1 in the integer array means that the value is missing. The boolean array
        represents the null bitmask corresponding to the missing values in the integer array.

        >>> import pyarrow as pa
        >>> movies_rectangular = np.ma.masked_array([
        ...     [10, -1, -1],
        ...     [8, 4, 5],
        ...     [-1, 10, 3],
        ...     [-1, -1, -1],
        ...     [-1, -1, -1]
        ... ],
        ... [
        ...     [False, True, True],
        ...     [False, False, False],
        ...     [True, False, False],
        ...     [True, True, True],
        ...     [True, True, True],
        ... ])

        To represent the same data with the MapArray and from_arrays, the data is
        formed like this:

        >>> offsets = [
        ...     0, #  -- row 1 start
        ...     1, #  -- row 2 start
        ...     4, #  -- row 3 start

        ... ]
        >>> movies = [
        ...     "Dark Knight", #  ---------------------------------- row 1
        ...     "Dark Knight", "Meet the Parents", "Superman", #  -- row 2

        ... ]
        >>> pa.MapArray.from_arrays(offsets, movies, likings).to_pandas()
        0                                  [(Dark Knight, 10)]

        If the data in the empty rows needs to be marked as missing, it's possible
        to do so by modifying the offsets argument, so that we specify `None` as
        the starting positions of the rows we want marked as missing. The end row
        offset still has to refer to the existing value from keys (and values):
