Return group creation properties on GET request to group #213

Closed mattjala closed 1 year ago

mattjala commented 1 year ago

The HDF5 specification expects a group that is closed and re-opened to maintain its group creation properties. Right now, because HSDS does not return the creation properties of a group, this functionality can't be implemented in any application that uses HSDS (in my specific case, the REST VOL).

An implementation similar to how a Dataset item returns the creationProperties field (https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf-rest-api/blob/master/DatasetOps/GET_Dataset.md#creationproperties) would solve the problem.

Implementing the actual functionality of each creation property might not make sense for HSDS in particular, but it would be good not to lose the information.

I've checked in a first pass for this here: https://github.com/HDFGroup/hsds/commit/e05975589c66ff55de641f9cc9baca787bf48059.
