Hi, I am new to HDF, so please be kind.
If I have a CAR object which looks like this : CAR color : String type : int model : String aboutMe : String -- "more than 1000 characters long" I have 100 million of these objects. What is the best way to store this as an HDF object? 1. Does each car object have to go as a compound dataset? 2. Is it good to have each car object as an array and store 100 million of them? Or, for performance, is it required to limit the number of arrays stored in a single group? 3. Is it OK to create a million groups - maybe for each type or color ? -- View this message in context: http://hdf-forum.184993.n3.nabble.com/Design-of-a-HDF-file-tp3675544p3675544.html Sent from the hdf-forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Hdf-forum is for HDF software users discussion.
