Issue with bdc_country_from_coordinates

Hi! I'm running into an issue with bdc_country_from_coordinates. When I run the command, it doesn't stop, I've let it run for an hour.

Thank you :)

The function example seems to work fine. See below:

x <-
  data.frame(
    decimalLatitude = c(-22.9834, -39.857030, -17.06811, -46.69778),
    decimalLongitude = c(-69.095, -68.443588, 37.438108, -13.82444),
    country = c("", NA, NA, "Brazil")
  )

bdc::bdc_country_from_coordinates(
  data = x,
  lat = "decimalLatitude",
  lon = "decimalLongitude",
  country = "country"
)

I just ran a subset of 10,000 occurrences and it works just fine. My original dataset has 350,000 occurrences has been running for a few hours, perhaps it's too big?

For now I will run the code in smaller subsets. Thanks for the help!

Well done! This function still needs to be optimized for large datasets. We plan to include arguments for parallelization soon. I'm closing this issue. Please don't hesitate to reopen it whenever you need to.
