### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? This is the follow-up for the discussion https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/14644#issuecomment-2665614584 **Problem I tried one query and this PR is not working as expected, I specified one query to run under 5GB memory (select * without order requires 7GB) but it's still consuming around 10GB, could you double check? I suspect we missed some details.** It is a problem of datafusion-cli. If datafusion-cli decides to hold all the result batches in memory, it should create a memory consumer for itself and reserve memory for the result batches. datafusion-cli [calls collect](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/45.0.0/datafusion-cli/src/exec.rs#L249-L254) to hold the entire result set in memory before displaying it, this is unnecessary when maxrows is not unlimited. I've tried the following code to replace the collect call, and the maximum resident set size has reduced to 4.8 GB: ### Describe the solution you'd like 1. Support memory consumer for datafusion-cli itself and reserve memory for the result batches. 2. Support hold the streaming the result set in memory and displaying it when maxrows is not unlimited. ### Describe alternatives you've considered _No response_ ### Additional context _No response_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
