Actually, looking at it further, I found that it does not do any
extraction. If it did, it would repartition each block among
processors. I don't have a lot of time to experiment with this now but
I think I know how to fix it. If you look at
vtkGenericEnSightReader.cxx in VTK/IO and add
vtkInformation* info = outputVector->GetInformationObject(0);
info->Set(
vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline::MAXIMUM_NUMBER_OF_PIECES(), 1);
to the end of the RequestInformation() method, it should start
partitioning datasets. We still have to change the code so that the
same file is not read multiple times, which is a serious performance
issue.
