[jira] [Created] (ARROW-11009) [Python] Add environment variable to elect default usage of system memory allocator instead of jemalloc/mimalloc

Wes McKinney created ARROW-11009:
------------------------------------

             Summary: [Python] Add environment variable to elect default usage of system memory allocator instead of jemalloc/mimalloc
                 Key: ARROW-11009
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11009
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Python
            Reporter: Wes McKinney
             Fix For: 3.0.0


We routinely get reports like ARROW-11007 where there is suspicion of a memory leak (which may or may not be valid) — having an easy way (requiring no changes to application code) to toggle usage of the non-system memory allocator would help with determining whether the memory usage patterns are the result of the allocator being used.
