I'm trying to process large binary files (>2GB) in Apache Spark, but I'm running into the following error:
File format is : .mf4 (Measurement Data Format)
org.apache.spark.SparkException: The length of ... is 14749763360, which exceeds the max length allowed: 2147483647.
What are the best approaches to handle large binary files in Spark? Are there any workarounds, such as splitting the file before processing or using a different format?
Would appreciate any insights or best practices.
Thanks!
