returnSamples(sampleMetadata, dataType = "gene_families") crashing

[amsegura]

Hello,

First I wanted to thank you for the work you have done with this package. This is my issue (connected with #302 but I did not see a solution there):

Describe the bug
I am trying to run returnSamples to obtain gene_families data from different projects. I am running the code in a cluster managed by slurm. I have done it before for the same projects but using as "dataType="relative_abundance" without any problem.

To Reproduce
This is the code I am using:

data("sampleMetadata")

df <- sampleMetadata %>% 
filter(age>= 18 & disease=='healthy' & body_site=='stool' & study_condition=='control' & !is.na(gender)) %>% 
filter(!duplicated(subject_id)) %>% 
filter(!is.na(BMI)) %>%  
filter(BMI < 30)

df_genfam <- df %>% returnSamples("gene_families", counts = TRUE)

Expected behavior
I will expect the data to download as it happened with relative_abundance data.

Error Obtained

Additional context
I am aware that this data is heavier than just relative abundance. However if I try to download just the file EH5579 I manage to do it, so I guess it is not a problem with the file being corrupted. I assigned in the cluster 425Gb RAM but I still think it crashes due to RAM memory problems.

Any idea on how can I solve this issue.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I also have this issue, but mine is that i cannot even download the file like EH7254, (i manange to download the file EH5579). is it the problem of RAM?
