this should work fine if the files stay identical in their metadata, eg if you took an existing program and relinked it with netcdf-4, but left everything else (except compression/chunking) the same. Should be an interesting experiment!Hi All: An interesting question came up today about aggregating over mixed file types. If i have a series of netcdf3 files that are aggregated over time, and then start adding to that directory netcdf4 files that are just a continuation of the aggregation for new times, can THREDDS aggregate over the entire collection? The ability to do so would be a major incentive to switch to netcdf4, because it would not break our existing netcdf3 files nor having to do the tedious process of translating hundreds of thousands of files.
