[pdal] not streaming from EPT to LAZ

[Kirk Waters - NOAA Federal]

I must be doing something wrong in this pipeline that pulls data from an
EPT and outputs an LAZ. It ends up exceeding 70Gb of RAM and getting killed
by the system. I don't see anything that would cause it to use standard
mode instead of streaming mode. Would the switch to LAS 1.4 cause standard
mode? Here's the pipeline:
[{
"requests": "6",
"type": "readers.ept",
"bounds": "([-9080833.61616794, -9050564.55208689], [4013331.20703169,
4035337.95504148])",
"filename": "
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/usgs-lidar-public/SC_SavannahPeeDee_2_2019/ept.json
"
}, {
"limits": "Classification[2:2]",
"type": "filters.range"
}, {
"out_srs": "EPSG:6318",
"type": "filters.reprojection",
"in_srs": "EPSG:3857"
}, {
"compression": "lasperf",
"type": "writers.las",
"offset_x": "auto",
"scale_y": "0.0000001",
"minor_version": 4,
"scale_x": "0.0000001",
"offset_z": "auto",
"filename": "extractept2.laz",
"dataformat_id": 7,
"offset_y": "auto"
}]

This failed in PDAL 2.3.0. I'm trying PDAL 2.4.2 now and it looks like it
is doing the same thing. Is there anything in that pipeline that would
prevent streaming?

Thanks!
