pyarrow.large_string()#

Create large UTF8 variable-length string type.

This data type may not be supported by all Arrow implementations. Unlessyou need to represent data larger than 2GB, you should prefer string().

Examples

Create an instance of large UTF8 variable-length binary type:

>>>importpyarrowaspa>>>pa.large_string()DataType(large_string)

and use the type to create an array:

>>>pa.array(['foo','bar']*50,type=pa.large_string())<pyarrow.lib.LargeStringArray object at ...>[  "foo",  "bar",  ...  "foo",  "bar"]
