osobhandClaude Opus 5.5 4a1876faf2 fix(format): page Fixed Array data blocks past 1024 chunks
The Fixed Array writer always packed every element into one data block
behind one checksum. Past 2^10 elements libhdf5 (and our reader) expect a
paged block: a page-init bitmap after the prefix, then one checksummed page
per 1024 elements. Any dataset with more than 1024 chunks and no unlimited
dimension failed with "incorrect metadata checksum" in h5py, h5dump and
our own reader.

build_fixed_array_at now takes one Option<WrittenChunk> per array slot so
later fixes can leave unallocated slots.

clawhdf5-format

crates.io docs.rs

Pure-Rust HDF5 binary format parsing and writing — no C dependencies.

Features

  • Zero-copy superblock, object header, and B-tree parsing
  • Chunked dataset read/write with filter pipelines
  • no_std support (disable std feature)
  • Optional parallel reads via Rayon
  • SHA-256 provenance tracking

Usage

use clawhdf5_format::Superblock;

let data = std::fs::read("data.h5").unwrap();
let sb = Superblock::from_bytes(&data).unwrap();
println!("HDF5 version {}.{}", sb.version_major(), sb.version_minor());
