For efficiency reasons we need to be able to create an HDF5 file in memory and then send it over the network without ever writing it to the hard disk. In-memory creation is available through using the CORE driver but is there a
way to perform CORE file read and write e.g. to a network socket?


This would be the HDF5 Streaming VFD that was created in the German
TIKSL project by Thomas Radke. It was used within HDF5 1.6.2, a recent
version that would be compatible with the 1.8 is currently available
as part of F5 (but is independent, basically it's just a .h and .c file):

I haven't used it for a while, but it should still work.
