Thanks.  I do not know enough about the format of HDF5, nor the pros and cons 
of different indexing schemes.  But for certain applications, some form of 
indexing would be nice.  In the examples given in what I think they called 
“FastHDF” the range of queries of the data were much larger, and the speed of 
access was improved.

I also realize that a lot of what you put your resources to is what someone is 
willing to fund, and all I can offer is buying Ted a beer the next time I see 
him at a meeting.

:-) and help us with convincing NOAA leadership to contribute to the HDF5 
support and development :-)

Hi Elena:

A couple of years ago the HDF Group had adding this capability to HDF5 as a 
long term project.  Is this still ongoing or has it been scrapped?


At this point no decision was made. We have several features that were 
prototyped but were never productized, and indexing is one of them. It would 
take a lot of work to integrate indexing/querying feature into HDF5. It is also 
not clear if this is a right approach since we would be adding a lot of 
complexity to HDF5 increasing its maintenance cost. We need to evaluate other 
solutions that involve existing technologies. On another hand, it would be 
great to have indexing and querying in HDF5, wouldn’t it?  :-)

During this year we have to release promised HPC features (see 
https://hdfgroup.org/wp/2015/05/whats-coming-in-the-hdf5-1-10-0-release/), and 
we will be working on the roadmap for HDF5. Stay tuned. Input from this FORUM 
would be highly appreciated as always.

Thank you!

Elena

Mike,

Fastbit and fastquery are not part of the HDF5 software developed and 
maintained by The HDF Group. It comes from NERSC; see 
https://sdm.lbl.gov/fastbit/

Hi,
Can someone tell me if fastbit & fastquery is part of hdf5 official release?
Any doc, tutorial, examples ?

Thanks,
