[Bug 123340] New: Feature Request: Increase limits (maximum number of rows and cells) /Unable to import large text-tab delimited document

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=123340

            Bug ID: 123340
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Feature Request: Increase limits (maximum number of
                    rows and cells) /Unable to import large text-tab
                    delimited document
           Product: Calc
           Version: 4.0.0
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: open-import
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: webassistant5.tft+openoffice@gmail.com
                CC: issues@openoffice.apache.org

I am unable to import a large text-tab delimited document with the following
specifications:
---------------
Rows: 60,249

Columns: 18

Cells: 1,020,126

Maximum characters per cell: 268

--------------
The rows are imported but cropped at 60,226 rows (-23 from the actual
document). And if I try LibreOffice fork of OpenOffice I also get the error
"The data could not be loaded completely because the maximum number of
characters per cell was exceeded." and nothing imports at all. At least
OpenOffice is able to open the document, but not completely.

Feature Request:
As I see it the Microsoft Excel specs are much higher than OpenOffice
currently, even the older 2010 version. Work should be done to allow OpenOffice
to work with Big(er) Data and large documents.

> Can you please share the text document?

As the data contains inventory information I am not able to share the exact
document. I have been able to re-create a similar document with Lorem Ipsum
however; which is  downloadable here: 
http://www.fileconvoy.com/dfl.php?id=gb8fb948b65603142999385510b7c2a36510c78e6a

This document gets input/output errors in Libre Office and locks up the latest
OpenOffice, but works perfectly in Microsoft Excel. Also it doesn't matter
whether it is text-tab delimited/xls/etc.

The document from comment 2 takes ages to open because it got some very long
texts in some cells,
7208 characters.

A xslx-file with one 7208 character long text cell takes half a minute on my
machine, now multiply with several thousand fields. 
(maybe file new performance bug for this)

------------

please provide a new sample with shorter text in cells to avoid the performance
bug.

My Excel 2003 caps the lines at 65536 while your file has 70000 lines.
I reduced the text to 268 characters like stated in comment 1 and saved as
Excel 2007 xlsx
-> AOO 4.0.1 and 3.4.1 open the new file just fine, all 65536 lines.

Seems to be an issue with cells like you said. 

I've opened the new bug here per your advice:
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=123511

However if one were using only OpenOffice it would be difficult to trim the
lines down before importing. And even if this were automatic it might loose
valuable description data.
