Large tab-delimited files for input

Hello,
I am trying to bring in large text files as input into Alteryx so I can save them as yxdb files for future use. I see the csv option and I selected the type of delimiter to correspond to my tab. But it doesn't seem to want to run it. The input error says that the fields must be smaller than 16m. What does this mean?

This happens to me when one of the fields in my CSV actually has the delimiter within it.  What usually works for me is in the input configuration, adjusting the "Ignore Delimiters In" to be "None".
