Performance problem with removing duplicates in a huge file (50+ GB)
I'm trying to remove duplicate data from an input file with unsorted data which is of size >50GB and write the unique records to a new file.

I'm trying and already tried out a variety of options posted in similar threads/forums. But no luck so far..

Any suggestions please ?

Thanks !!
