Limitation of number of usages of H5TBappend_records()?

Hdf-forum archives

Hello,

I have reported this in the previous thread:
http://hdf-forum.184993.n3.nabble.com/H5SL-insert-common-can-t-insert-duplicate-key-with-HDF5-1-8-13-td4027464.html

Here I modified the example code provided on the official website to show
this limitation. (ex_table_02.c in
http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/Tutor/h5table.html\)

I ran into the following error when appending table for the 599169th
iteration.

HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.13) thread 140557357188896:
  #000: H5Tnative.c line 122 in H5Tget_native_type(): unable to register
data type

I think you might be hitting the limit with the number of identifiers created in the library (which in the 1.8 series is a 32 bit signed integer).
We already switched to using 64 bit integers in the trunk (for the future 1.10 release), which should take care of this problem.

For verification, you can try out the trunk to see if it helps:
http://svn.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/hdf5/trunk

Thanks,
