Additional HDF5 dataset chunk statistics
"""
Compute and report contiguous- and chunked-dataset storage statistics for an
HDF5 file that ``h5stat`` (the stock utility shipped with the HDF5 library) does
not provide.
Overview
--------
``h5stat`` gives a good summary of metadata, free space, and raw storage, but it
stops short of the dataset-level layout details that if importance for files
that use the ``PAGE`` file space strategy and are read over the network through
the ROS3 virtual file driver. This script fills that gap by walking every
dataset in a file and building per-dataset statistics:
* For **contiguous** datasets:
- stored size in bytes
- whether the dataset fits inside a single file page or spills out (paged
files only)
* For **chunked** datasets:
- number of chunks actually stored, total stored size, min/max stored chunk
size, nominal (uncompressed) chunk size
- ratio of chunk extent to dataset extent
- distribution of chunks across file pages, and a "page spread anomaly"
counter that flags chunks scattered over more pages than their total
stored size requires (paged files only)
Compact datasets are intentionally skipped because their storage is inlined in
object headers and is not comparable to the other two layouts.
Results are aggregated into histograms rendered as plain-text tables via
``tabulate``; individual per-dataset records can also be dumped as text or JSON
for post-processing.
Input sources
-------------
The ``h5file`` argument accepts:
* A local filesystem path.
* An ``https://`` URL --- opened with the HDF5 ROS3 VFD.
* An ``s3://`` URI --- opened with the HDF5 ROS3 VFD.
Command-line options
--------------------
``h5file``
Required. Path, ``https://`` URL, or ``s3://`` URI of the input file.
``--page-buffer-size BYTES``
Size of the HDF5 page buffer cache used when reopening a paged file to
collect per-chunk page information. Default: 64 MiB. Has no effect on
non-paged files.
``--show``
Print one line (or one JSON object with ``--json``) per dataset instead of
the aggregate histogram tables.
``--json``
With ``--show``, emit the per-dataset records as a JSON array sorted by
dataset name. Ignored without ``--show``.
``--page-list {page,dataset}``
Only valid for paged files. Emit a JSON mapping of either
file-page-to-datasets (``page``) or dataset-to-file-pages (``dataset``),
separating datasets that fit inside pages from those that spill out.
Output
------
Default mode prints a series of tables covering, as applicable:
* contiguous stored-size distribution and in-page/out-of-page split
* chunked total-stored-size distribution
* chunk-size distribution
* chunk-to-dataset shape ratio distribution
* number-of-chunks distribution
* recommended chunk-cache-size distribution (``chunk_size * num_chunks``)
* for paged files: chunks-vs-page-size split, pages-per-dataset distribution,
file-page spread anomaly distribution, and the maximum fraction of a dataset's
chunks landing in any single file page
Runtime requirements
--------------------
* Python 3 with ``h5py``, ``numpy``, and ``tabulate``.
* HDF5 library 1.14.3 or later. Version 2.0 or later highly recommended.
* HDF5 built with the ROS3 virtual file driver when reading ``https://`` or
``s3://`` sources.
