Buffer size

[greatdayne]

I am getting an error when reading a file larger than ~2 GB. I get

"fs.js:319
throw new ERR_FS_FILE_TOO_LARGE(size);
^
RangeError [ERR_FS_FILE_TOO_LARGE]: File size (6369042087) is greater than possible Buffer: 2147483647 bytes"

After some research, I see this is a buffer limitation in Node however I do not have this issue with tippacanoe so I am assuming they are doing some sort of stream like https://stackoverflow.com/a/44994896 I am doing clustering on a national dataset so splitting the file seems less than ideal as I would assume it would mess up clustering unless I am missing something. Thank you
