pgsql_big_dedupe_example fails

[wilko77]

I ran the postgres example as-is with a postgres database version 14.2 and dedupe version 2.0.17.
After training and clustering, it will eventually fail during 'writing results' with the following error:

writing results

I'm experiencing a similar issue with the mysql_example:

I got the mysql example to work by adding the "zerosize_ok" option to numpy.nditer in clustering.py. I imagine that this would also resolve the OP postres example. I'm not a python developer so I don't want to issue a PR for this until I have a better understanding of what's going on. In the union_find function in clustering.py, I changed...

it = numpy.nditer(edgelist, ["external_loop"])

to...

it = numpy.nditer(edgelist, ["external_loop", "zerosize_ok"])

This still doesnt work for me, even with the fix above. Any new solutions?
