Description

I have 1TB trade data, turn it into qlib .bin format is quite time and space consuming, and memory is too small to load it once, I want to use dask or polars to support big data that is iarger than my memory. I don't know how, can anyone give some suggestions or examples?
Thx.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing qlib’s existing conversion workflow for trade data into .bin format and its memory assumptions, then determine whether a Dask or Polars-based workflow is feasible; done would be a documented, reproducible approach or a clearly scoped implementation plan.
