Dear Wikimedia,
Let me introduce myself first. My name is Ivan Heibi, I am a researcher at the 
University of Bologna working at OpenCitations (directed by Silvio Peroni) as 
the responsible of the technical infrastructure.

We are currently facing a technical issue while managing our triplestore I 
wanted to share with you, hoping that maybe your expertise regarding similar 
issues might give us some new insights to help us deal with it. Thank you in 
advance for your time and support, here I will briefly explain you the issue.

Currently OpenCitations stores and maintain its data (citations and 
bibliographic metadata) in one big triplestore (JNL format) using the 
Blazegraph database. The size of the current JNL file has reached almost 1.5T, 
and this JNL file is regularly updated (almost every two months) with new 
triples (data regarding new citations). However, it seems that the current JNL 
file does not accept any further addition of data, yet its size and total 
number of triples (almost 8 billion) is less than the limits that Blazegraph 
states (50 billion). Therefore, any attempt to DATA LOAD additional triples to 
the JNL file makes the process hanging forever, with no effects on the 
triplestore.

We tried to LOAD new data into the JNL file using different properties when 
lanching the Blazegraph triplestore, yet all the tests we have tried gave us 
the same negative results.

Did you ever face a similar behaviour? are you aware of some limits that 
Blazegraph has (that we are ignoring)? What are the solutions you have adopted 
and suggest in order to deal with such issues (in case you have faced such 
problems)?

Thank you in advance for your support and help,
Have a nice day,
Ivan Heibi
