Out of memory Error While Copying Data into Lakehouse Table Partitioned

We are currently trying to load data into Lakehouse Table using copy activity and are trying to partition them by a column named "DateId". However, we have encounted the below error and need help understanding it. 

What is the below error telling exactly? 
Any solution that would allow us to copy data partitioned? 

ErrorCode=ParquetErroneousStatus,'Type=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Common.Shared.HybridDeliveryException,Message=class parquet::ParquetStatusException (message: 'Out of memory: realloc of size 76461504 failed'),Source=Microsoft.DataTransfer.Common,'

Hi @v-cyu 
Thanks for using Fabric Community.

The error message 'Out of memory: realloc of size 76461504 failed' indicates that the system ran out of memory while trying to allocate additional memory for the operation. This error is often encountered when dealing with large datasets or complex operations that require a significant amount of memory.

In your case, it seems like the error occurred while trying to partition the data by the “DateId” column and load it into a Lakehouse Table using the copy activity. The operation might be memory-intensive, especially if the dataset is large.

Here are a few potential solutions:

Increase the available memory: If you’re running this operation on a machine with limited memory, you might consider increasing the available memory or using a machine with more memory. In the context of Microsoft Fabric, increasing the memory often refers to scaling up your Fabric capacity. This involves allocating more resources to your Fabric service, which can help handle larger datasets and more complex operations

Optimize your data processing: Try to optimize your data processing to use less memory. This could involve filtering unnecessary data early in the process, using more efficient data structures, or breaking the operation into smaller, more manageable tasks.

 

Hope this helps. Please let me know if there are any further questions.
