when we send data over the mailboxes we are estimating the data size and cut
the inbound messges into chunks. however
```
block.getDataSchema().getColumnNames().length * MEDIAN_COLUMN_SIZE_BYTES;
```
// Use estimated row size, this estimate is not accurate and is used
to estimate numRowsPerChunk only.
int estimatedRowSizeInBytes =
block.getDataSchema().getColumnNames().length * MEDIAN_COLUMN_SIZE_BYTES;
int numRowsPerChunk = maxBlockSize / estimatedRowSizeInBytes;
while (currentRow < totalNumRows) {
List<Object[]> chunk = allRows.subList(currentRow,
Math.min(currentRow + numRowsPerChunk, allRows.size()));
```
this is not an accurate estimate when there's high-cardinality string/bytes
column that can be super large.
simple solution is to use the first row to estimate the size of the row when
there's variable length columns found, but
- there's no easy way to tell cardinality
- it is expensive to compute a row size of `Object[]` which needs to loop
through everything.
