Add warning message for big mash dist #1146

Closed glennhickey closed 1 year ago

glennhickey commented 1 year ago

I've only used minigraph-cactus on data with well under 1% divergence (as measured by mash dist).

If you go much beyond that, things will generally run but stuff like losing contigs in chrom assignment, running out of memory, producing unusable graphs etc becomes much more likely.

This PR just adds a warning (which will be buried in the log) if a mash dist > 0.02 turns up.
