I am using HDF Viewer 2.7 to view a hdf5 file which was created by
h5py (python library) using lzf compression.
When I load the file into the HDF Viewer the basic tree structure is
displayed. However when I try to open a dataset I get an
error/exception. I assume that's because the lzf compression filter is
not support natively by hdf5.
However HDF5 supports the registration of user defined filters during
runtime. Is there any way to do that in HDF Viewer?
thanks in advance

Hi Uemit,
HDFView only supports szip (decoding only) and gzip compression.
User defined filters are not supported since we do not compile and
distribute user-defined filters in HDF-Java products for various reasons.
There is no simple way to load user-defined filter into Java. We will
investigate the lzf compression issue. At the same time, you can write
a layer of JNI code and compile the lzf filter into hdf-java.
Thanks
