Kindly suggest parsing this 42 GB dump in the Linux command for the below error

Priyadharshini - are you able to share some more detail? It looks like the heap is not able to be parsed in this code ..

mat/plugins/org.eclipse.mat.hprof/src/org/eclipse/mat/hprof/Pass1Parser.java

Lines 854 to 855 in b55b54a

	if ((elementType < IPrimitiveArray.Type.BOOLEAN) || (elementType > IPrimitiveArray.Type.LONG))
	throw new SnapshotException(Messages.Pass1Parser_Error_IllegalType);

This suggests to me maybe either some corruption with the hprof file, or maybe a different version of JVM is used to export the heap. Are you able to share any more information about it?
