I have an example of a matrix which I write with rhdf5 but when I read
it back in I get something randomly different from what I wrote.
This example demonstrates the effect. It seems to be related somehow
to having small chunks. In the example I write a matrix, then read it
back in 10 times, each time printing its sum. It is usually a
different sum, and never correct.
library(rhdf5)
go <- function(numRow = blocksize,
chunksize = 4,
numCol = 3,
dims = c(numRow, numCol),
start = 1,
blocksize = 7) {
str(list(numRow = numRow, numCol = numCol,
start = start,
chunksize = chunksize,
blocksize = blocksize))
mtx <- matrix(1:(blocksize*numCol), ncol = numCol)
cat("sum(matrix)=", sum(mtx), "\n")
file.exists("x.hdf5") && unlink("x.hdf5")
h5createFile("x.hdf5")
h5createDataset(file="x.hdf5",
dataset = "x",
dims = dims,
H5type = "H5T_NATIVE_UINT32",
level = 0,
chunk= c(chunksize,numCol))
h5write(mtx, "x.hdf5", name = "x",
start = c(start, 1),
stride = c(1,1),
block = c(blocksize, numCol),
count= c(1,1))
{
for(i in 1:10)
print(sum(h5read("x.hdf5", "/x",
start = c(start, 1),
stride = c(1,1),
block = c(blocksize, numCol),
count= c(1,1))))
}
}
##### and the transcript:
