> 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
