Use Pandas to read sas7bdat files #295
Description
Currently, the viewer chokes on large sas7bdat files (because reading just the metadata of the file takes several minutes), making it mostly useless. Pandas has worse behavior to jump to row X, but at least it is very fast to read the first rows, which are usually the most interesting. It is better to be fast for the first rows and (very) slow for the end rows than be slow in all cases.
I would just have a problem computing the shape using pandas.
pd.read_sas(fpath, chunksize=XYZ, iterator=True)
