I'd prefer to not have this as part of the official API, since it is reading arguments from sys.argv; I'll rename it to _plasma_store_entry_point, any idea if there is a file where it fits better?

If we want a function that starts the store, we can move the one from test_plasma into the pyarrow.plasma namespace.

OK, sounds good. We could have something like pyarrow.plasma.start and pyarrow.plasma.kill
