Ben Epstein updated ARROW-17828:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
When working with medium-sized datasets that have very long strings, arrow 
fails when trying to operate on the strings. The root is the `combine_chunks` 
function.

Here is a minimally reproducible example
{code:java}
import numpy as np
import pyarrow as pa

# Create a large string
x = str(np.random.randint(low=0,high=1000, size=(30000,)).tolist())
t = pa.chunked_array([x]*20_000)
# Combine the chunks into large string array - fails
combined = t.combine_chunks(){code}
I get the following error
{code:java}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

With smaller strings or smaller arrays this works fine.

x = str(np.random.randint(low=0,high=1000, size=(10,)).tolist())
t = pa.chunked_array([x]*1000)
combined = t.combine_chunks(){code}
The first example that fails takes a few minutes to run. If you'd like a faster 
example for experimentation, you can use `vaex` to generate the chunked array 
much faster. This will throw the identical error and will run about 1 second.
{code:java}
import vaex
import numpy as np

n = 50_000
x = str(np.random.randint(low=0,high=1000, size=(30_000,)).tolist())
df = vaex.from_arrays(
    id=list(range(n)),
    y=np.random.randint(low=0,high=1000,size=n)
)
df["text"] = vaex.vconstant(x, len(df))
# text_chunk_array is now a pyarrow.lib.ChunkedArray
text_chunk_array = df.text.values
x = text_chunk_array.combine_chunks() {code}
