<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi all,<br><br>I wonder what splitter should do in this case:<br><br>Stephen uses paramter --max-nodes=80000 <br>and splitter reports <br>"Highest node count in a single grid element is 557,084"<br><br>It is obvious that at least one tile will have much more than the requested 80.000 nodes,<br>on the other hand, the file africa.osm.pbf contains large nearly empty areas,<br>and that makes it very difficult to find a good split.<br>The current version r416 fails because it doesn't accept tiles with less than 5% of <br>the max-nodes value, so it searches for a solution where every tile has at least 4000 nodes,<br>and that might not exist.<br><br>I see these options:<br>1) splitter can continue trying to split the data, accepting almost empty output files<br>(e.g. some with < 5 nodes and very high aspect ratios like 32)<br>2) if that fails, splitter can set the max-nodes value to 557,084 and try again<br>3) or stop with an error message that tells the user that it is not possible<br>to split with the used resolution<br>4) or restart using a higher resolution (15 would be required here instead of 13),<br><br>@Stephen<br>What reason do you have to use such a small max-nodes value? <br>Would it be ok for you to use a higher one?<br><br>Gerd<br><br><br><br><br> </div></body>
