Error in vctrs::vec_locate_matches()

[kn1g]

I am just reporting the error because the message asked for it. Unfortunately, I cannot provide a minimal reproducible example. Dataset is huge and this might be the problem as it shows the allocation size. Still, in case you have questions and I can help, I am happy to do so an provide as much info as I can.

Do you truly expect over 5 billion rows back (5,905,060,440)?

If so, this is going to be impossible in R

If not, you likely have an issue with your join key, i.e. by = "Jahr". You are likely missing a join key there to make the matches more unique
