Several users have raised questions regarding chunking in HDF5. Partly in
response to these questions, the initial draft of a new "Chunking in HDF5"
document is now available on The HDF Group's website:
http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/_topic/Chunking/
This draft includes sections on the following topics:
General description of chunks
Storage and access order
Partial I/O
Chunk caching
I/O filters and compression
Pitfalls and errors to avoid
Additional Resources
Future directions
Several suggestions for tuning chunking in an application are provided along
the way.
As a draft, this remains a work in progress; your feedback will be appreciated
and will be very useful in the document's development. For example, let us
know if there are additional questions that you would like to see treated.
