Additional Information
The shapefile format does not support a dataset this large. This is a known limitation. We have plans to convey this more gracefully to the end user (such as by graying out or not providing the shapefile download option for datasets that cannot be represented in the shapefile format). In the meantime, this is the expected behavior. In the mean time, the customer may want to take advantage of the ability to provide a download in a format such as file geodatabase (FileGDB/fgdb), which does support larger datasets. For more information on that, please see http://doc.arcgis.com/en/open-data/provider/prepare-your-data.htm and scroll down to "Adding additional download files".Workaround
Filter the dataset to where there are less than 10,000 records, and export the dataset to a shapefile.Steps to Reproduce
