Dataset in multiple file

Hello.

I run a simulation on multiples nodes and multiples HDF5 file are writen, one by each node.
Each node write a 2D "block" of Data.

For example, the alla data is of size 16*16, and each node write a block of 4*4, and i would to recover a dataset with the folowing pattern.

BLOCK1 BLOCK2
BLOCK3 BLOCK4

I would like to use H5F_set_external, but i've made it trough the munal and all i seems to be able to do is :
BLOCK1
BLOCK2
BLOCK3
BLOCK4

Wich is not acceptable and will force me to implement my own multiple files reader.

I understand why the first good pattern is not achievable with contiguous data in memory, but as long as all my datasets are chunked, i can think of a way where chunked dataset's tree should be merged in order to achieve something like the first good pattern.

But i've seen nothing about that in doc.

Am i missing something? Or these feature is not (yet) implemented ?

Thanks

Mathieu
