Description

See this:

https://github.com/ray-project/ray/issues/938

There is a PR here which I'll submit:

https://github.com/apache/arrow/compare/master...pcmoritz:serialize-sets

Let me know what you think! Supporting sets natively is good I think, we may also want to good way to support efficient serialization of more general iterables without converting them to a list.
