I've googled a bit, but haven't had much luck finding a definitive answer.

It seems like the current status is that I can't do concurrent reads
within the same file. Is that the case?
But, concurrent reads from separate files by the same process are OK, right?
My use case:
* GIS data that has been clipped up to geospatial boundaries (say a
1x1 arcminute grid), and written to HDF5 such that each grid element
has its own dataset.
* We'll likely split N grid elements into their own files.
* I'll have many (8+) readers but no writers. Each thread would be
responsible for checking for and pulling data from a particular
dataset. i.e. there wouldn't be multiple readers pulling separate
chunks of data from the same dataset.
Thanks,
Steve
