@lingbl There is a hard-coded table size limit for the hash part, which is 2^26. What's your use case for allocating such a huge lua table? Maybe you can use LuaJIT's FFI cdata or OpenResty lua_shared_dict for it instead.

thankyou , my question is not smart , I load fastq file, it is allways very big.
By the way , why lua have to mix array and hash , as the table.insert is not fast enough.我知这不是你们的问题, 我就是想吐槽一下
