functime 0.10 with Polars 1.0 compatibility

[baggiponte]

Ensure functime works with Polars>=0.20. Also implement/benchmark Enum dtype for entity columns to save memory.

So while we did this (with latest release, 0.9.5) there are still some rough edges which can be seen when using polars-upgrade as well. I feel functime can break in unexpected ways, so I'll leave this open.

Polars>=1.0 enhanced map_batches and map_elements to apply lambda function with machine learning forward computation. Enum type and Categorical data can obtain in Polars>=1.0

Hi @baggiponte I can see there hasn't been a release in 6 months, and I'm beginning to quite heavily use this library for my workflow. Can you please outline the "help wanted" tag on this post, where you'd recommend to start chipping in for this issue and for maintaining this package in general?

Hi @baggiponte ! Do you think that with tjader's PR from last week it will be possible to release a version compatible with Polars >= 1.0?

Polars expressions were used in many databases, like bioinformatics sorted branches, vectors indexed sequences representation. Once capable with long sequences in memory, large-scale application will solve by in-memory and out-of-core update.

🤗 can we help? We are stuck and unwilling to ghost this awesome project.
