Help request with Java 3.3.2

Greetings,
We have a Java application, and we were using the old 2.6.1 HDF Java libraries for our day-to-day activity. But recently due to some changing requirements, we have to change it to 3.3.2. We have an ETL process which consists of number of scripts that perform read/write functions (mostly read) to HDF5 files. ETL is running on Linux environment (tens of nodes) and it is working completely fine with 2.6.1 version. But, with 3.3.2 version, it’s throwing out several errors when trying to read HDF5 files. However, the odd thing is that it DOES read the attributes but dumps out errors related to C libraries.

Here are some of the log errors:

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

3.3 hdfjava added exception handling and reporting. This is likely what you are running into, they were always there, just being ignored.

Also, hdfjava would always check for image attributes by name, if a dataset was opened and those log errors are a result of blindly calling H5Aget_attribute_by_name.
