On the internet there is a reference to HDF5-FastQuery that uses FastBits 
within HDF5 files.  But finding the actual API has eluded me.  Does anyone know 
how to actually get this API?

Thanks,

Hi,

Thats glad to know. I have explored fastbit, but fastbit requires that the file 
be converted from hdf5 to binary file. With that in mind, would it be ideal to 
just create the file in binary in the first place to reduce overhead. And use 
fastbit itself instead of hdf5

Hi,

 HDF5 doesn't support searching within datasets. You might want to look into 
something like Fastbit:

http://highscalability.com/blog/2009/5/1/fastbit-an-efficient-compressed-bitmap-index-technology.html
http://crd.lbl.gov/~kewu/fastbit/doc/index.html

This is an addon-library which builds indices on HDF5 datasets allowing to 
select certain regions based on indexed properties.

        We (The HDF Group) have just had a proposal funded that will integrate 
FastBit [style] indexing more tightly with HDF5.  The work is scheduled for a 
little while from now (year 2 or 3 of the proposal, I believe), but I just 
wanted to let people know that this functionality will be coming...

Hi,

        But that approach would be slow right? assuming that we are dealing 
with the worst possible volume of data.

Thanks for thr reply Francesc.

My codes are in C. Lets say my records are about 12million. I cant use 
hyperslab coz i wont know which region to look for. What is the expected result 
of my query is only 10 records out 12 million.

If you don't know which region you should look, then you should look into your 
complete table.  Just use hyperslabs for reading your dataset in small chunks 
(my suggestion is that these chunks should fit your CPU cache, for improved 
performance).
