[ferret_users] Compressed ferret output incompatibe with netcdf java apps
Hi,
This is possibly a problem with netcdf java rather than ferret but anyway...
If we make a variable and save it in compressed netcdf4 format it
appears that java based netcdf software han't handle it.
e.g.
yes? let v=i[i=1:20]+j[j=1:20]
yes? save/file=cmp.nc/ncformat=netcdf4/def v ! compressed (actually
it's larger but just an example)
yes? save/file=uncmp.nc/ncformat=netcdf4 v ! uncompressed
Now loading up in Panopoly (and another of our in house apps which is
where we spotted the problem).When we try to operate on v
we get a message about an an unknown filter type being zero for the
compressed version
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unknown filter type=0
at
ucar.nc2.iosp.hdf5.H5tiledLayoutBB$DataChunk.getByteBuffer(H5tiledLayoutBB.java:198)
etc
The uncompressed version is fine since there are no filters being applied.
Now, here's where it gets weird. If nccopy is used to convert the two
files to compressed netcdf4 style the originally compressed file is
still giving Panopoly grief but the newly compress file is handled just
fine!
xwing-hf% nccopy -k 3 -d 1 cmp.nc cmp_ncopy.nc ! Still no good
xwing-hf% nccopy -k 3 -d 1 uncmp.nc uncmp_ncopy.nc ! compressed file is
fine!!!
Any clues? A known issue?
Occurs for V6.95, V6.96 and earlier by the looks.
Cheers,
Russ
