IMO this can only help :p. Do you mind giving a little context on how a person gets to this polars install? (Do you install with a flag, or install a special pypi package?).

@rich-iannone do you mind reviewing? (seems okay to me, since it's a fallback behavior)

edit: oh wait, I see from the issue it's from installing https://pypi.org/project/polars-u64-idx/ . seems like into okay fix for now imo

yep for context, Polars as pip install polars doesn't work on ~>4.2 billion rows, so they have a separate polars-u64-idx you can install that has the same import: https://docs.pola.rs/user-guide/installation/#big-index
