+ * As the Python evaluation consumes the parent iterator in a separate thread,
+ * it could consume more data from the parent even after the task ends and the parent is closed.
+ * If an off-heap access exists in the parent iterator, it could cause segmentation fault
+ * which crashes the executor.
+ * Thus, we should use [[ContextAwareIterator]] to stop consuming after the task ends.
