Something is crashing our pytest-xdist worker. We used pytest-xdist 1.28.0 in the last green build https://travis-ci.org/pandas-dev/pandas/jobs/542868383, so it's likely not pytest-xdist itself.

Edit: Seems to be an issue with feather / pyarrow. We segfault when collecting tests: https://travis-ci.org/pandas-dev/pandas/jobs/542977519#L3052. #26715 is skipping, use this issue to restore.

It's not clear if there's anything left to do here.

It's still commented out, so we should either clean it up or check if it is working again (looking into that now)
