I'd like to know the details of the errors -- because it could have been as simple as running out of memory.

You can generate the dataset with the instructions in this readme: https://github.com/apache/sedona-spatialbench/tree/main

Here are the queries: https://github.com/apache/sedona-spatialbench/blob/main/prin...

They should be fairly easy to replicate!

OOM are still something a DB can "avoid" so it's not like that class of bugs is some special issue that nullifies thing.

Crashing when running out of memory is not acceptable software behavior in my opinion.
