osobhandClaude Opus 5.5 6dfd239011 feat(format): bzip2 filter (307), read and write, pure Rust
hdf5plugin's BZip2 failed with UnsupportedFilter(307). The new `bzip2`
feature decodes the single bzip2 stream H5Zbzip2.c stores, bounded by the
chunk size (a truncated stream is an error, not short data), and encodes
at block size cd_values[0] (DatasetBuilder::with_bzip2(level)). It uses the
bzip2 crate's default backend, libbz2-rs-sys, a pure-Rust port of
libbzip2: `cargo tree` shows no cc/cmake, and nothing is compiled from C.

Interop: hdf5plugin writes block sizes 9, 1 and 5+shuffle over the
12-case matrix, read byte for byte; ours at 9 (shuffled) and 1 (not)
reads back through hdf5plugin. Both fail with the decoder removed.

crates.io docs.rs

Pure-Rust HDF5 reader/writer — no C dependencies.

Features

  • Read and write HDF5 files entirely in Rust
  • Memory-mapped I/O for large files (mmap feature, enabled by default)
  • Parallel chunk reads via Rayon (parallel feature)
  • Lazy dataset access for minimal memory usage
  • h5py-compatible file output

Usage

use clawhdf5::File;

let file = File::open("data.h5").unwrap();
let dataset = file.dataset("/group/data").unwrap();
let values: Vec<f64> = dataset.read_1d().unwrap();
