Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-13028:
----------------------------------------
I'm unsure how much flexibility we want to add to CSV type inference. You can
of course pass column types explicitly if you want to optimize memory footprint.
[~npr] [~jonkeane] What do you think?
> [C++] CSV add convert option to attempt 32bit number inferences

> When types are being inferred by CSV the numbers are always 64 bit. For large
> data sets it could be better to use 32 bit types to save over all memory. To
> do this it would be useful to add an option to ConvertOptions to try 32 bit
> numbers before 64 bit. By default this option would be disabled.
