> Currently with Arrow enabled, calling {{toPandas()}} results in a collection of all partitions in the JVM in the form of batches of Arrow file format.  Once collected in the JVM, they are served to the Python driver process. 
> I believe using the Arrow stream format can help to optimize this and reduce memory consumption in the JVM by only loading one record batch at a time before sending it to Python.  This might also reduce the latency between making the initial call in Python and receiving the first batch of records.
