In the 1.0 release, the initial key and address cookie for every leaf page created has to fit into memory (the boundary structure grows by each new key and address pair, every time a new leaf page is written). This limits the size of a table that can be bulk-loaded.

The current workaround is to create larger on-disk pages when writing bulk-loaded files.
