If it’s that big I think you need to use the right tool for the job such as BigQuery to load the files into a database. If not that then I would use command line tools such as awk and head to manipulate the files directly.

I have a folder full of .csv't to merge, but they have different column names and may have different order of columns. Also, they sum up to 33.5gb so I can't load all of them in the memory. Do you know any way I can combine all the csv files in the folder?
