When using HDF5, is it possible to mix ZLib and SZip compression ? If
yes how ?
My understanding is that:
1. ZLib can compress any data (char *, int, double, ...)
2. SZip is dedicated to number compression only (float, double)
According to HDF5 doc, we have:
1. to use H5Pset_deflate to use ZLib (deflate algorithm)
2. to use H5Pset_szip to use SZip
My understanding is that, if I use both H5Pset_deflate and H5Pset_szip,
then:
1. data (whatever they are) which are NOT numbers will be compressed
with ZLib
2. numbers will be compressed with SZip
Is this correct ? Or did I get things wrong ?
Thanks,
FH
