Patrick created ARROW-12065:
-------------------------------

             Summary: segfault in pyarrow read_json
                 Key: ARROW-12065
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12065
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Python
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
         Environment: arch linux, 31G ram
            Reporter: Patrick


I noticed this when doing some analysis on a not very complex, but reasonably large json file and I've simplified it to a fairly minimal reproduction:

```

import pyarrow.json
pyarrow.json.read_json('test.json')

```

and `test.json` is

```

{"A":"<0 repeated 1.6 million times>"}
{"B":[]}

```

this seems like it shouldn't be too large to load into memory all-at-once, so I'm surprised there is a segfault

running via gdb and getting a backtrace gives

```
