Hi, could someone comment on this? I am still not sure why new format with less number of elements is taking so much more storage space. One more observation is that
format 1 has around 300 groups ..each with 2 datasets. -> total 600 datasets. format 2 has around 200 groups .. each with 11 datasets -> total of 2200 datasets. in fromat 1, each dataset is a double array where as in format 2, each dataset is a complex type. (doubles and ints mixed). What is the overhead of having a complex dtype vs a double array. having 2200 datasets vs 600 datasets, can it double the size of the hdf5 file? i am basically converting horizontal data into vertical data with more datasets.
