             Summary: Decrease memory consumption with toPandas() collection using Arrow
                 Key: SPARK-23030
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-23030
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: PySpark, SQL
    Affects Versions: 2.3.0
            Reporter: Bryan Cutler


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.
