Wes McKinney created ARROW-4120:
-----------------------------------
Summary: [Python] Define process for testing procedures that check
for no macro-level memory leaks
Key: ARROW-4120
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-4120
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Python
Reporter: Wes McKinney
Fix For: 0.13.0
Some kinds of memory leaks may be difficult to unit test for, and they may not
cause valgrind errors necessarily
I had written some ad hoc leak tests in
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/python/scripts/test_leak.py. We
have some more of this in ARROW-3324.
It would be useful to be able to create a sort of "test suite" of memory leak
checks. They are a bit too intensive to run in CI (since you may have to run
something many iterations to see whether it leaks), but we could run them in a
nightly build
