Neo4j crashes during graph projection

[MaLe]

Dear Neo4j community,

my neo4j server always crashes whenever I execute any graph projection with gds 2.2.3. After that, Neo4j is no longer available, but still runs according to neo4j status. However, Neo4j can no longer be stopped with neo4j stop and must be terminated manually. All other cypher queries work fine.

I increased the Java Heap Size.

I increased the macOS file descriptor limits as recommended in this installation guide (to soft-limit=64000 & hard-limit=200000).

Unfortunately that didn't help.

I can't find any helpful hints in debug.log or neo4j.log.

I am running neo4j server community 4.4.11 with gds library 2.2.3 on macOS 13.0.1 (96 GB RAM).

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions 🙂
