-----------------------------------
Assignee: Wes McKinney
> [Python] Enable calling object in Table.to_pandas to "self-destruct" for
> improved memory use
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-3789
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3789
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Python
> Reporter: Wes McKinney
> Assignee: Wes McKinney
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.0.0
>
>
> One issue with using {{Table.to_pandas}} is that it results in a memory
> doubling (at least, more if there are a lot of Python objects created). It
> would be useful if there was an option to destroy the {{arrow::Column}}
> references once they've been transferred into the target data frame. This
> would render the {{pyarrow.Table}} object useless afterward
