Here is an idea if the underlying Dataframe is based on a catalog_file and in case it is opened and loaded with pandas read_csv.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The catalog file of a catalog can be very large and contain many columns. It quickly fills user memory when the dataframe is loaded.

Describe the solution you'd like
pandas read_csv allows to set kwarg usecols. One could assemble all columns from the description and set it as values. That reduces the memory requirements.
