I need to make a dashboard with D3 DC and crossfilter.

The data coming from the web service is almost 1 million records.

However, crossfilter's thrown error "Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded".

What could cause crossfilter to crash in this way?

The most likely cause is that you have data which is not naturally ordered: i.e. you've got NaNs in your data.

https://github.com/crossfilter/crossfilter/wiki/Crossfilter-Gotchas#natural-ordering-of-dimension-and-group-values

The problem is that NaN < x is false for all numbers x, and NaN > x is also always false. So if your sorting routine does not explicitly check for invalid input, it can run forever. And if that sorting routine is recursive, it can crash.

For reasons of efficiency, crossfilter does not check its input. Maybe validation could be added without hurting efficiency?
