nicobrevin··on HDF5eis: Storage IO solution for big multidimensional time series sensor data
Yeah, but no multi threading concurrency, only multi process. Not even parallel reads. There's a giant mutex around the call to read data from a dataset and my colleague's take on it was that it would be months of work to unpick all the state and make even reads thread safe.

It would be nice if the hdf5 people could add better support for concurrency, a la https://www.hdfgroup.org/2020/11/webinar-enabling-multithrea...

I can't imagine there'll be a queue of people wanting to implement that for fun on their weekend
