Pipe has problems with large content #548

Open mtojek opened 3 years ago

mtojek commented 3 years ago

Consider the following case (bioinformatics):

bwa mem ... | samtools view .... > outfile, which should end up with approx. 50 GB out file. Unfortunately the pipeline hangs at ~14 GB, bwa mem waits on buffers and so does samtools view.

Were there any reports around large file processing?
