Hi Quincey,
We are using 1.8 version of hdf libraries.
The error occurs on writing the elements to dataset using C++ API . The
dataset is created using chunk properties (chunk dimensions of 1x240).
So the flow is: (a) collect data of 240 elements (b) create a dataset with
chunk props (c) write dataset (d) collect data of 240 elements (e) extend
dataset (becomes 2x240) (f) write dataset
Steps (d), (e), & (f) continue to successfully extend and write for 1034
times. On 1035th time, extend dataset is good, but write call fails with
assertion error.
Thanks for your prompt reply and help.

Re: [hdf-forum] Assertion fail on write
Hi,
On certain datasets, I receive following error on write call:
Assertion failed: entry_ptr->size < ((size_t)(10*1024*1024)), file
H5C.c, line 10619
Looking at the header file where H5C_MAX_ENTRY_SIZE is defined, I
see a comment that user can increase or decrease it as appropriate.
This error happens on a dataset which attempts to write 240 elements
of 8 bytes each at a given time. Assertion error occurs on 1035th
write. So the size of the dataset on the disk should be around ~2MB .
That's odd - what version of the HDF5 library are you
using?
Can someone highlight when this kind of error shows up? Does
increasing the size resolve the issue - sideaffects?
The metadata cache isn't directly involved with writing
dataset
elements, so I'm not certain that increasing the size is the correct
action here. Is the dataset contiguous or chunked (or compact)? Is
this occurring during the dataset creation or when writing elements to
the dataset?
