PCA halts with NegativeArraySizeException

Hi, I have a single Ubuntu 16.04 system with plenty of ram, with Spark in standalone mode. I am able to perform PCA on single WGS GVCF files but am running into issues when I tried to combine all chromosomes and then run PCA. I’ve attempted to figure out limit but I was wondering what I can do to avoid the error seen below:

Python 2.7.12 (default, Nov 19 2016, 06:48:10)
