[jira] [Updated] (SPARK-32953) Lower memory usage in toPandas with Arrow self_destruct

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-32953?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Xiao Li updated SPARK-32953:
----------------------------
    Description: 
As described on the mailing list:
 [http://apache-spark-developers-list.1001551.n3.nabble.com/DISCUSS-Reducing-memory-usage-of-toPandas-with-Arrow-quot-self-destruct-quot-option-td30149.html] [https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r581d7c82ada1c2ac3f0584615785cc60cf5ac231e1f29737d3a6569f%40%3Cdev.spark.apache.org%3E]

toPandas() can as much as double memory usage as both Arrow and Pandas retain a copy of a dataframe in memory during the conversion. Arrow >= 0.16 offers a self_destruct mode that avoids this with some caveats.
