Hi, in a post few years ago [1] Quincey Koziol explained that the VL data is stored in a "global heap" in the file, which is not compressed. He also mentioned that a new "fractal heap" code was being developed (which, I assume, would allow compression of VL data).
Is there any news on this front? I there a way to compress VL data? Thanks, Andrea [1] http://hdf-forum.184993.n3.nabble.com/hdf-forum-Compression-in-variable-length-datasets-not-working-td194091.html -- Andrea Bedini <[email protected]>
