For HDF5 files, command “h5dump -Hp ndb.BS_COMPRESS0.005000_Q1” shows
the data chunk settings used by all datasets in the file.
Command “h5stat -Ss ndb.BS_COMPRESS0.005000_Q1” shows information about
free space, metadata, raw data, etc.
They may reveal why your file is abnormal big.
Most likely it is the chunk setting you used.
