enstools-encoding

Library to generate the encodings to write compressed files as easily as possible with xarray using hdf5 filters.

Its only capability is to provide the encodings that xarray and h5py need in order to write files using filters.

The package doesn't provide the filters, need to be installed separately.

This package was originally inside Ensemble Tools but can be used standalone.

It is also a building block for Ensemble Tools - Compression, which includes a command line tool to make compression even easier, along with other useful tools to find proper compression parameters.

It has been developed under the Waves to Weather - Transregional Collaborative Research Project (SFB/TRR165).

Compressors

At the current stage it is possible to generate encodings for three compressors:

• BLOSC
• SZ
• ZFP

Installation
