-----------------------------------------
[~lidavidm] and others - great - thanks for the explanation & fast responses.
> [Python] Pandas to_feather no longer works - runs out of memory
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-13014
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13014
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Python
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0, 4.0.1
> Environment: Linux
> Reporter: Roland Swingler
> Priority: Major
>
> Since upgrading to 4.0.1 writing to feather files with the pandas to_feather
> method uses up far, far more memory.
> For reference I have a dataframe that is around 10gb in size, 25 million
> rows. Writing a feather file took around 3-4gb of memory in pyarrow versions
> up to 3.0.0. As of 4.0.1 I don't know how much memory it will take to
> successfully write - I tried running on a 120gb AWS machine, and that wasn't
> sufficient.
> I can't provide the dataframe, but I can give an outline of the types / sizes
> of the columns:
> size (bytes),type
> 206663144,int64
> 206663144,int64
> 206663144,float64
> 206663144,float64
> 2882448709,object
