osobhandClaude Opus 5.5 e38f9123db feat(format): LZF filter (32000), read and write, pure Rust
h5py's built-in compression="lzf" failed with UnsupportedFilter(32000). The
new `lzf` feature (no dependencies, on by default in clawhdf5-format and
the facade) decodes the raw liblzf stream h5py's filter stores, bounded by
the chunk size, and encodes it: DatasetBuilder::with_lzf() (or
with_plugin_filter(PluginFilter::Lzf)) writes the filter with h5py's
cd_values (filter version 4, liblzf 0x0105, chunk size in bytes), flagged
optional as h5py does. ChunkOptions gains a `plugin` field for the plugin
filters; build_pipeline_for_chunk passes the chunk size to filters that
record it.

tests/plugin_filters_interop.rs: h5py writes LZF (alone, with shuffle, with
shuffle+fletcher32) over 12 dtype/shape/chunk/data cases with partial edge
chunks and incompressible data, and every dataset reads byte for byte equal
to its unfiltered twin; our LZF output (1-D and 2-D, edge chunks, with and
without shuffle) reads back in h5py. Both fail with the decoder removed.

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());
