Hi All, I have to admit I've been totally baffled by meaning of the 1/2 rank and 1/2 node size parameters controlling B-Tree storage for groups and chunked datasets. What do these parameters mean in terms of the arrangement of groups in an HDF5 file and number of items, on average in a group and/or average depth of the hierarchy of groups? I've even googled these terms and don't find useful information.
If my files typically have between 2 and 5 groups deep with between 5 and 100 objects in a group, what should I set these parameters to? Any guidance appreciated. Mark -- Mark C.
