[Chris Ellison (JIRA)]

Chris Ellison created ARROW-2227:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Table.from_pandas does not create chunked_arrays.
                 Key: ARROW-2227
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2227
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Python
    Affects Versions: 0.8.0
            Reporter: Chris Ellison


When creating a large enough array, pyarrow raises an exception:
{code:java}
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import pyarrow as pa

x = list('1' * 2**31)
y = pd.DataFrame({'x': x})
t = pa.Table.from_pandas(y)
# ArrowInvalid: BinaryArrow cannot contain more than 2147483646 bytes, have 
2147483647{code}
The array should be chunked for the user. As is, data frames with >2 GiB in 
binary data will struggle to get into arrow.
