Polars only uses large_string instead of string to avoid the limitations of the 32-bit offsets in string. Basically string can't hold more than 2GB of string data per array, so to have larger string columns they must either be chunked or use large_string with 64-bit offsets. But we should support large strings better in datasets! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
