   > As I understand it, the FixedShapeTensorArray has less need for a Large 
version, because the FixedSizeListType does not hold an offset int32 array like 
the ListType does. So 1 array can hold many tensors, as long as each is less 
than 2^31 elements. The VariableShapeTensorArray as it's currently documented 
can hold at most 2^31 elements in all tensors in the array combined, so that 
limit is hit earlier. Also, there doesn't seem to be a LargeFixedSizeListType, 
which has an int64 size?
   
   @pimdh Yes, that seems right.
   Now that some time has passed would you say there's still need for 
`VariableShapeTensorArray` with LargeList for `data`? We would need to amend 
the extension type or introduce `LargeVariableShapeTensorArray`.
