[R] Error: OutOfMemoryError (Java): GC overhead limit exceeded

[Jeff Newmiller]

The memory issue is in Java, not R.

You can either be more parsimonious in your use of Java memory (we have no idea what you are doing with it here, so how you do that is up to you), or you can allocate more memory to Java (you may be able to guess how to do that, or read the Java documentation on the X parameter).
