Unable to serialize large R*Tree using FlatBuffer

[ksaurab]

I was trying to Serialize a large R*Tree using the APIs in this Library, but it failed with error :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AssertionError: FlatBuffers: cannot grow buffer beyond 2 gigabytes.

Seems like FlatBuffers can't serialize large structures with size more than 2GB? Am I mistaken here?
Does this implementation support any other serialization apart from FlatBuffer?
I saw few test cases for Kryo Serialization but don't think if the current structure supports this.
Please guide.

Just FlatBuffers serialization is supported at the moment but I might need to add a Kryo option given that 2GB limit. I'll have a think about it.
