Hello, Ive created a project using HDF5DOTNET and rely heavily on attributes for storing meta data about data sets. When I load an HDF5 file, I want to read all the data set attributes for all the data sets. Unfortunately this is very slow when I have a large number of data sets.
Firstly, I understand that I could re-write my code using datasets in place of attributes, but Im trying to avoid that as I like my current H5 file structure. I want to switch to dense storage of attributes to speed up this process. However, Im struggling to understand how to do this, specifically with HDF5DOTNET. *HDF5 Questions (not related to HDF5DOTNET):* 1. I understand that H5Pset_attr_phase_change property can be used with creation of H5Files. Is this the general method for using dense attribute storage or is there a more explicit method to use when creating attributes (or datasets/groups)? *HDF5DOTNET Questions:* 1. I could not find any any wrapper functions for H5Pset_attr_phase_change in HDF5DOTNET. Is there an equivalent function or some method for ensure dense attribute storage which is currently supported. Thanks, - Nick
