How to Stream a Large JSONL File Line by Line in Python
Process a large JSON-lines file incrementally using streaming techniques to avoid loading the entire file into memory.

Stream a large JSON-lines file line by line, processing each record
without loading the entire file into memory.

Process data in chunks across multiple CPU cores using multiprocessing Pool.map, and mock the chunk function to test partitioning behavior without heavy computation.
from multiprocessing import Pool
from unittest.mock import patch, Mock
def process_chunk(chunk):
return [x * x for x in chunk]

chunks = [data[i:i + chunk_size] for i in range(0, len(data), chunk_size)]
