[netcdfgroup] Virtual Datasets (and Java)

Hi All:

In a recent talk, Mike Folk stated that the next release of HDF5 will contain 
the ability to do “virtual datasets”, essentially the same type of aggregation 
as is done by the THREDDS Data Server.  I can see where there could be 
advantages to do this at the dataset, rather than the server level.  When the 
new version of HDF5 is officially released, are there any plans to incorporate 
this feature not the netcdf libraries?

Thanks,

-Roy


PS - As a total aside, we have a data service we would like to keep totally 
Java.  I was following the development of “nujan” to write netcdf4 files with  
pure Java code, but it appears to have fallen off the radar.  Are there any 
plans to pick that up again?  We likely won’t provide netcdf4 files as part of 
the service unless something like that is available, as we don’t want to have 
to support all the different OS and versions.
