[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-11463) Allow configuration of IpcWriterOptions 64Bit from PyArrow

["Tao He (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11463?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17276819#comment-17276819 ] 

Tao He commented on ARROW-11463:
--------------------------------

The `pa.ipc.new_stream` accepts an option: [https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.ipc.new_stream.html#pyarrow.ipc.new_stream|https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.ipc.new_stream.html#pyarrow.ipc.new_stream,]

I think we just need to expose the `allow_64bit` field to python.

I could make a PR for that.

> For tables with many chunks (2M+ rows, 20k+ chunks), `pyarrow.Table.take` will be around 1000x slower compared to the `pyarrow.Table.take` on the table with combined chunks (1 chunk). Unfortunately, if such table contains large list data type, it's easy for the flattened table to contain more than 2**31 rows and serialization of the table with combined chunks (eg for Plasma store) will fail due to `pyarrow.lib.ArrowCapacityError: Cannot write arrays larger than 2^31 - 1 in length`
> I couldn't find a way to enable 64bit support for the serialization as called from Python (IpcWriteOptions in Python does not expose the CIpcWriteOptions 64 bit setting; further the Python serialization APIs do not allow specification of IpcWriteOptions)
> I was able to serialize successfully after changing the default and rebuilding
