### Describe the usage question you have. Please include as many useful details as possible. Hi! I am trying to wrap my head around how to access a table in memory from 2 different python programs running on the same machine at once. The table is created from a CSV/Parquet file. I thought that if i make the following program: ``` import pyarrow as pa from pyarrow import py_buffer data = b'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' buf = pa.py_buffer(data) buf.size buf.address ``` And another python program that does this: ``` import pyarrow x = pyarrow.foreign_buffer(use address from the other program, use size from the other program, base=None).to_pybytes() ``` I could share the same object in memory without needing it to read it twice. But the second program just crashes, doesn't do anything. Any idea how i can share a table in memory between two separate processes running on the same machine? ### Component(s) Python -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
