Without digging into implementational details, my logic as a library user would be this:

  • If I write one dataset to file1 and another dataset to file2 using to_netcdf(), to different groups
  • And then I simply combine the two hdf5 files using some external tools (again, datasets stored in different groups)
  • I will be able to read them both perfectly well using open_dataset() or load_dataset()
  • This implies that the datasets can be written just fine independently without knowing about each other
  • Why then those writing functions (flush in particular) traverse and read the entire file every time?
