--------------------------------------
Summary: Memory Leak
Key: ARROW-6791
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6791
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Python
Affects Versions: 0.14.1, 0.14.0
Environment: Ubuntu 18.04, 32GB ram, conda-forge installation
Reporter: George Prichard
Memory leak with large string columns crashes the program. This only seems to
affect 0.14.x - it works fine for me in 0.13.0. It might be related to earlier
similar issues? e.g. [https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/2624]
Below is a reprex which works in earlier versions, but crashes on read (writing
is fine) in this one. The real-life version of the data is full of URLs as the
strings.
Weirdly it crashes my 32GB Ubuntu 18.04, but runs (if very slowly for the read)
on my 16GB Macbook.
Thanks so much for the excellent tools!

n_cols = 10
col_length = 100
df = pd.DataFrame()
for i in range(n_cols):
df[f'col_{i}'] = pd.util.testing.rands_array(col_length, n_rows)
print('Generated df', df.shape)
filename = 'tmp.parquet'
print('Writing parquet')
df.to_parquet(filename)
print('Reading parquet')
pd.read_parquet(filename)
