Two Virtual File Drivers (VFDs) have been introduced with HDF5-1.10.6 and HDF5-1.12.0:
- The S3 VFD enables access to an HDF5 file via the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).
- The HDFS VFD enables access to an HDF5 file with the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS).
The following Property List APIs were introduced to support these VFDs:
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| H5P_GET_FAPL_HDFS | Gets the information of the given HDFS virtual file driver |
| H5P_GET_FAPL_ROS3 | Gets the information of the given Read-Only S3 virtual file driver |
| H5P_SET_FAPL_HDFS | Sets up Read-Only HDFS virtual file driver |
| H5P_SET_FAPL_ROS3 | Sets up Read-Only S3 virtual file driver |
Changes were also made to the HDF5 command line tools to support these VFDs.
