Imagine you are tasked with analyzing a massive CSV file containing millions of records—too large to load into memory all at once. Your goal is to extract only those rows where a specific column's value exceeds a given threshold, saving the filtered results to a new file. This scenario is common in large-scale data analysis, where efficient, memory-friendly processing is essential.
