Hi all,

I am trying to read large file but I am not able read the complete file using fread. I can only read a smaller part of this file using fread.

> mydt10 <- fread("df.num.txt", nrows = 5)
> > dim(mydt10) [1]      5 844488
> > str(mydt10) Classes ‘data.table’ and 'data.frame':  5 obs. of  844488 variables: $ cg14361672      : num  0.974 0.967 0.961 0.96
> 0.963 $ cg12950382      : num  0.718 0.766 0.848 0.723 0.94 $ cg02115394      : num  0.0337 0.0258 0.025 0.0317 0.0357 $ cg12480843

I am also trying the bigreadr but this is also got stuck at 0%

data <- big_read("df.num.txt",select=1:844880, progress=TRUE)
Will read the file in 30 parts.
| | 0%

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Many thanks, nabiyogesh

You don't mention what the issue is with data.table::fread. Do you have enough memory to actually read the file? What error do you get with fread?

Thanks Sean,

I am getting below error with fread, I am running this on HPC with 500GB.

> library(data.table)
data.table 1.14.2 using 1 threads (see ?getDTthreads).  Latest news: r-datatable.com
> phyloseq <- fread("df.num.txt",header=T,sep='\t',check.names=F,fill=TRUE)

 *** caught segfault ***
address 0x7efdf4a26d44, cause 'memory not mapped'

Traceback:
 1: fread("df.num.txt", header = T, sep = "\t", check.names = F, fill = TRUE)

Possible actions:
1: abort (with core dump, if enabled)
2: normal R exit
3: exit R without saving workspace
4: exit R saving workspace

Clearly not a Bioconductor problem, so I'd suggest following up with the data.table folks.
