raulcd opened a new issue, #40749: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/40749
### Describe the enhancement requested There has been some effort in order to reduce pyarrow size and there are some issues opened in order to split pyarrow wheels in order to have `pyarrow-core`, `pyarrow-all`, etcetera. There seems to be the possibility to strip unnecessary symbols via `strip --discard-all`. The `libarrow.so` file seems to be reduced from 61MB to 45 MB. Another example: ``` -rwxrwxr-x 1 user group 49M Feb 22 18:55 libarrow.so.1600.0.0 $ strip --strip-unneeded libarrow.so.1600.0.0 -rwxrwxr-x 1 user group 33M Mar 12 15:27 libarrow.so.1600.0.0 ``` This issue is to investigate the possibility of using string and the possible disadvantages. ### Component(s) Packaging, Python -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
