I see that the packet table create/append combination does not have both a
memory and file data type involved and it isn't clear to me how PT
append/read will work exactly.
If a PT create type is LE, will the PT read on a BE machine be LE or BE?
If a PT create type on a LE machine is NATIVE, will the PT read on a BE
machine be LE or BE?
Thank you.
Hi Gordon,
Thank you for your excellent question!
I see that the packet table create/append combination does not have both a memory and file data type involved and it isn't clear to me how PT append/read will work exactly.
I reviewed the code and I think it shouldn’t work unless create/append happens on the same platform and the type of the data matches the type specified at creation time. I filed a bug report to take a closer look and to make sure we have a cross-platform testing for packet tables. For your reference JIRA issue is HDFFV-9042.

Thank you for responding. I think it would be useful in the packet table
function docs to specify that only native datatypes should be used.
