This question is a clone of my stackoverflow question which never got answered (o_O). Therefore I am posting it here. I would really like some inputs if possible.
I am currently building some applications which make use of HDF5 files. I have already taken a look at the hdfgroup website with regards to dataspace <https://support.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/H5.user/Dataspaces.html> and I think I understand the concept. But I am very much unable to understand it's real world use. Can someone please, tell me what is the dataspace interface supposed to be used for? Currently, I think if I load a matrix of size 1.5M x 1.5M I may be able to store dataspace coordinates and then retrieve that piece of data much faster. Is this correct? It would be great if you can provide some example use cases.
