issue with left_join for a large dataset

[btojenniferborder]

I had a issues with using left_join for a very big dataset (13 million rows). I got this error message:

Joining with by = join_by(coord)
Error in vctrs::vec_locate_matches():
! Match procedure results in an allocation larger than 2^31-1 elements. Attempted allocation size was 3452978837.

I have the same issue. How did u sort the problem?

HI, With my data I think the issue was in the joining column having too few unique values- I recreated the column allowing more decimal places and it worked. But that was quite a niche solution that's very specific to my dataset, I'm not sure if it'd work for you too, if not maybe best to open another issue? Good luck!
