HDF5 and Zarr are data formats that can be used to store and access scientific data. This presentation discusses approaches to translating between the two formats. It describes how HDF5 files were translated to the Zarr format by creating a separate Zarr store to hold HDF5 file chunks, and storing chunk location metadata. It also discusses an implementation that translates Zarr data to the HDF5 format by using a special chunking layout and storing chunk information in an HDF5 compound dataset. Limitations of the translations include lack of support for some HDF5 dataset properties in Zarr, and lack of support for some Zarr compression methods in the HDF5 implementation.
