H5P_SET_FAPL_HDFS sets the file access property list fapl_id to use the HDFS.

The Read-Only HDFS virtual file driver transparently accesses HDF5-format files hosted on HDFS. The HDFS VFD supplies bytes transparently to the HDF5 library through the libhdfs API.

Non-negative value if successful. Otherwise returns negative value.
