re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1836
Revert the internal filter code to simplify it. From the user's
point of view, the only visible changes should be:
1. The functions that convert text to filter specs have had their signature reverted and have been moved to netcdf_aux.h
2. Some filter API functions now return NC_ENOFILTER when inquiry is made about some filter.
Internally,the dispatch table has been modified to get rid of the filter_actions
entry and associated complex structures. It has been replaced with
inq_var_filter_ids and inq_var_filter_info entries and the dispatch table
version has been bumped to 3. Corresponding NOOP and NOTNC4 functions
were added to libdispatch/dnotnc4.c. Also, the filter_action entries
in dispatch tables were replaced for all dispatch code bases (HDF5, DAP2,
etc). This should only impact UDF users.
In the process, it became clear that the form of the filters
field in NC_VAR_INFO_T was format dependent, so I converted it to
be of type void* and pushed its management into the various dispatch
code bases. Specifically libhdf5 and libnczarr now manage the filters
field in their own way.
The auxilliary functions for parsing textual filter specifications
were moved to netcdf_aux.h and were renamed to the following:
* ncaux_h5filterspec_parse
* ncaux_h5filterspec_parselist
* ncaux_h5filterspec_free
* ncaux_h5filter_fix8
Misc. Other Changes:
1. Document NUG/filters.md updated to reflect the changes above.
2. All the old data types (structs and enums)
used by filter_actions actions were deleted.
The exception is the NC_H5_Filterspec because it is needed
by ncaux_h5filterspec_parselist.
3. Clientside filters were removed -- another enhancement
for which no-one ever asked.
4. The ability to remove filters was itself removed.
5. Some functionality needed by nczarr was moved from libhdf5
to libsrc4 e.g. nc4_find_default_chunksizes
6. All the filterx code was removed
7. ncfilter.h and nc4filter.c no longer used
Misc. Unrelated Changes:
1. The nczarr_test makefile clean was leaving some directories; so
add clean-local to take care of them.
re: Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1848
The existing Virtual File Driver built to support byte-range
read-only file access is quite old. It turns out to be extremely
slow (reason unknown at the moment).
Starting with HDF5 1.10.6, the HDF5 library has its own version
of such a file driver. The HDF5 developers have better knowledge
about building such a driver and what incantations are needed to
get good performance.
This PR modifies the byte-range code in hdf5open.c so
that if the HDF5 file driver is available, then it is used
in preference to the one written by the Netcdf group.
Misc. Other Changes:
1. Moved all of nc4print code to ncdump to keep appveyor quiet.
As it was, nccopy -c dim/x was sometimes being ignored. So
modify nccopy to properly take into account. This also required
a change to the nczarr code because it was not applying default
chunking in the same way as libhdf5.
Modify ncdump/tst_nccopy4.sh to test this feature properly.
Also add a similar test to nczarr_test.
Additionally, fix some other things that were causing Visual
Studio builds with testing to not work.
* fix curl testing under CMake to properly handle case
where DAP is disabled, but byterange support is enabled.
* properly test and/or define uintptr_t
* Convert _O_XXX to O_XXX flags used by open();
The primary fix is to improve CMake build support.
Specific changes include:
* CMake: Provide a better soln to locating the AWS SDK
libraries; the new way is the preferred method as described in
the aws-cpp-sdk documentation.
* CMake (and Automake): allow -DENABLE_S3_SDK (default off) to suppress
looking for AWS libraries.
* CMake: add the complete set of nczarr tests
* CMake: add EXTERNL as needed to various .h files.
* Improve support for windows drive letters in paths.
* Add nczarr and s3 flags to nc-config
* For VisualStudio X nczarr, cleanup the NAN+INFINITY handling
* Convert _MSC_VER -> _WIN32 and vice versa as needed
* NCZarr - support multiple platform paths including windows, cygwin.
mingw, etc.
* NCZarr - sort the test outputs because different platforms
produce directory contents in different orders.
One big change concerns netcdf-c/CMakeLists.txt and netcdf-c/configure.ac.
In the current versions, it was the case that --disable-hdf5
disabled netcdf-4 (libsrc4). With nczarr, this can no longer
be the case because nczarr requires libsrc4 even if libhdf5
is disabled. So, I modified the above files to move the
format options (HDF5, NCZarr, HDF4, etc) to a single place
near the front of the files. Now it is the case that:
* Enabling any of the formats that require libsrc4
also does an implicit --enable-netcdf4.
* --disable-netcdf4 | --disable-netcdf-4 now becomes
and alias for --disable-hdf5.
There are probably some bugs in this change in terms of
dependencies between format options.
Problems:
* CMake S3 support is still not working for Visual Studio
* A recent issue points out that there is work to do on handling
UTF8 filenames, but that will be addressed in a separate fix.
Notes:
* Consider converting all of our includes/.h files to use EXTERNL
cloud using a variant of the Zarr protocol and storage
format. This enhancement is generically referred to as "NCZarr".
The data model supported by NCZarr is netcdf-4 minus the user-defined
types and the String type. In this sense it is similar to the CDF-5
data model.
More detailed information about enabling and using NCZarr is
described in the document NUG/nczarr.md and in a
[Unidata Developer's blog entry](https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/developer/en/entry/overview-of-zarr-support-in).
WARNING: this code has had limited testing, so do use this version
for production work. Also, performance improvements are ongoing.
Note especially the following platform matrix of successful tests:
Platform | Build System | S3 support
------------------------------------
Linux+gcc | Automake | yes
Linux+gcc | CMake | yes
Visual Studio | CMake | no
Additionally, and as a consequence of the addition of NCZarr,
major changes have been made to the Filter API. NOTE: NCZarr
does not yet support filters, but these changes are enablers for
that support in the future. Note that it is possible
(probable?) that there will be some accidental reversions if the
changes here did not correctly mimic the existing filter testing.
In any case, previously filter ids and parameters were of type
unsigned int. In order to support the more general zarr filter
model, this was all converted to char*. The old HDF5-specific,
unsigned int operations are still supported but they are
wrappers around the new, char* based nc_filterx_XXX functions.
This entailed at least the following changes:
1. Added the files libdispatch/dfilterx.c and include/ncfilter.h
2. Some filterx utilities have been moved to libdispatch/daux.c
3. A new entry, "filter_actions" was added to the NCDispatch table
and the version bumped.
4. An overly complex set of structs was created to support funnelling
all of the filterx operations thru a single dispatch
"filter_actions" entry.
5. Move common code to from libhdf5 to libsrc4 so that it is accessible
to nczarr.
Changes directly related to Zarr:
1. Modified CMakeList.txt and configure.ac to support both C and C++
-- this is in support of S3 support via the awd-sdk libraries.
2. Define a size64_t type to support nczarr.
3. More reworking of libdispatch/dinfermodel.c to
support zarr and to regularize the structure of the fragments
section of a URL.
Changes not directly related to Zarr:
1. Make client-side filter registration be conditional, with default off.
2. Hack include/nc4internal.h to make some flags added by Ed be unique:
e.g. NC_CREAT, NC_INDEF, etc.
3. cleanup include/nchttp.h and libdispatch/dhttp.c.
4. Misc. changes to support compiling under Visual Studio including:
* Better testing under windows for dirent.h and opendir and closedir.
5. Misc. changes to the oc2 code to support various libcurl CURLOPT flags
and to centralize error reporting.
6. By default, suppress the vlen tests that have unfixed memory leaks; add option to enable them.
7. Make part of the nc_test/test_byterange.sh test be contingent on remotetest.unidata.ucar.edu being accessible.
Changes Left TO-DO:
1. fix provenance code, it is too HDF5 specific.
re: Github issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1713
If nc_def_var_filter or nc_def_var_deflate or nc_def_var_szip is
called multiple times with the same filter id, but possibly with
different sets of parameters, then the first invocation is
sticky and later invocations are ignored. The desired behavior
is to have the last invocation be used.
This PR implements that desired behavior, with some special
cases. If you call nc_def_var_deflate multiple times, then the
last invocation rule applies with respect to deflate. However,
the shuffle filter, if enabled, is always applied just before
applying deflate.
Misc unrelated changes:
1. Make client-side filters be disabled by default
2. Fix the definition of uintptr_t and use in oc2 and libdap4
3. Add some test cases
4. modify filter order tests to use plugin filters rather
than client-side filters
re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1684
re: e-support VZL-904142
Two issues:
1. As of libcurl 7.66, the semantics of CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST
changed so that the non-zero values affects certificate processing.
2. The current library was forcing the values of VERIFYPEER
and VERIFYHOST to zero instead of leaving them to the default values.
Solution was first to leave the defaults in place for VERIFYPEER and VERIFYHOST
as long as they are not set in .ocrc/.dodsrc file.
Second, the value of HTTP.SSL.VERIFYPEER or HTTP.SSL.VERIFYHOST
as set in .ocrc/.dodrc is used to set the corresponding CURLOPT flags.
So for example, adding
> HTTP.SSL.VERIFYHOST=2
will set the value of CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST to 2, the default.
Using
> HTTP.SSL.VERIFYHOST=0
will set the value of CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST to 0, which disables it.
Similarly for VERIFYPEER.
Finally the semantics of HTTP.SSL.VALIDATE is now equivalent to
> HTTP.SSL.VERIFYPEER=1
> HTTP.SSL.VERIFYHOST=2
re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1584
Support has been added for multiple filters per variable. This
affects a number of components in netcdf. The new APIs are
documented in NUG/filters.md.
The primary changes are:
* A set of new functions are provided (see __include/netcdf_filter.h__).
- Obtain a list of the filters associated with a variable
- Obtain the parameters for a specific filter.
* The existing __nc_inq_var_filter__ function now returns info
about the first defined filter.
* The utilities (ncgen, ncdump, and nccopy) now support
an extended format for specifying a sequence of filters.
The general form is __<filter>|<filter>..._.
* The ncdump **_Filter** attribute now dumps a list of all the
filters associated with a variable using the above new format.
* Filter specifications can now use a filter name instead of number
for filters known to the netcdf library, which in turn is taken
from the HDF5 filter registration page.
* New errors are defined: NC_EFILTER and NC_ENOFILTER. The latter
is returned if an attempt is made to access an unknown filter.
* Internally, the dispatch table has been extended to add a function
to handle all of the filter functions.
* New, filter-related, tests were added to nc_test4.
* A new plugin was added to the plugins directory to help with testing.
Notes:
1. The shuffle and fletcher32 filters are not part of the multifilter system.
Misc. changes:
1. A debug module was added to libhdf5 to help catch error locations.
