[jira] [Created] (ARROW-6926) Support __sizeof__ protocol for
Python objects
Matthew Rocklin created ARROW-6926:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Support __sizeof__ protocol for Python objects
Key: ARROW-6926
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6926
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Python
Reporter: Matthew Rocklin
It would be helpful if PyArrow objects implemented the `__sizeof__` protocol to give other libraries hints about how much data they have allocated. This helps systems like Dask, which have to make judgements about whether or not something is cheap to move or taking up a large amount of space.
