HDF-Java Products Peter Cao The HDF Group The 13th HDF and HDF-EOS Workshop November 3-5, 2009 HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
Outline HDF-Java products Short demo of NPOESS features Full support of HDF5 1.8 in HDF-Java HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
What are the HDF-Java products? HDF-Java HDF Java Wrapper Object Package Viewer Editor HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
Java Wrapper Pure Java Library HDF JNI a programming framework that allows Java code to call and be called by applications and libraries written in other languages NetCDF-Java library HDF HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
Pure Java Library • Pros: • True platform independence • Direct access to file (no data conversion between C and Java) Pure Java Library • Cons: • Substantial amount of work to support features in the C library. HDF HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
HDF JNI • Pros: • Easy to implement • Easy to keep up with the library changes HDF • Cons: • Requires data conversion between C and Java • The JNI is platform dependent HDF HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
Java Wrapper C Java C Native Impl. HDF h5Imp.c H5.java HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
Java Wrapper: C versus Java C Java public static native int H5Fopen ( String name, int flags, int access_id); hid_t H5Fopen ( const char *name, unsigned flags, hid_t access_id ); HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
Object Package HDF-Java HDF Java Wrapper Object Package Viewer Editor HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
Java Wrapper: read data A very simple example. Is there an easy way? int fid, did, sid, tid, rank; long dims[], maxDims[]; Object theData; fid = H5.H5Fopen( fname, HDF5Constants.H5F_ACC_RDWR, HDF5Constants.H5P_DEFAULT); did = H5.H5Dopen(fid, dname); sid = H5.H5Dget_space(did); tid = H5.H5Dget_type(did); rank = H5.H5Sget_simple_extent_ndims(sid); dims = new long[rank]; maxDims = new long[rank]; H5.H5Sget_simple_extent_dims(sid, dims, maxDims); theData = allocateArray(tid, dims); H5.H5Dread( did, tid, HDF5Constants.H5S_ALL, HDF5Constants.H5S_ALL, HDF5Constants.H5P_DEFAULT, theData); H5.H5Sclose(sid); H5.H5Tclose(tid); H5.H5Dclose(did); H5.H5Fclose(fid); HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
Object Package: the easy way theData = Dataset.read(); HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
Object Package: main purposes For the application developers • Less function calls • Easy to extend for specific needs HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
Object Package: basic objects File Group Dataset Datatype Attribute http://www.hdfgroup.org/hdf-java-html/hdf-object/

Outline HDF-Java products Short demo of advanced features to support NPOESS data Full support of HDF5 1.8 in HDF-Java HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
Features to support NPOESS data • Aggregated granules • dataset pointed by an object reference • Granules • Subset pointed a region reference • Quality Flags • bits of quality flags packed in one byte • HDFView version 2.5 patch 3 http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/hdf-java/v25p3/ HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII

HDF5 1.8 support Take advantages of HDF5 1.8 library New capabilities. Performance improvements. HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
HDF5 1.8 support www.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/RFC/HDF5/hdf-java/ Support HDF5 1.8 APIs in JHI5 Use new APIs in the hdf-java objects Add 1.8 features in HDFView HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
HDF5 1.8 support: New APIs HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
HDF5 1.8 support: possible changes • Package names • “org.hdfgroup.hdf.” • “hdf.” • “ncsa.hdf.” • Class structure • H5, H5D, H5F, etc. HDF/HDF-EOS Workshop XIII
