Pac A. He commented on ARROW-11456:
-----------------------------------
[~jorisvandenbossche] This is very difficult in this case because the parquet
is so large. What I can say is that this issue started *after I added a text
string column with 1.3 billion unique rows. Each value was effectively a unique
base64 encoded length 22 string*. I hope this helps.

> Isn't pyarrow supposed to support large parquets? It let me write this
> parquet file, but now it doesn't let me read it back. I don't understand why

> It's not even 32-bit as sizes are non-negative.
