[C++][Python] Segfault reading JSON file #27891
Description
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
