Update h5library in QED to allow temp credential's token #39

Closed jeffreypon closed 3 months ago

jeffreypon commented 5 months ago

If users have to acquire a temp credential token, the current h5library doesn't support temp credential token. Mike submitted a PR request to update the h5library to support this to the hdf group.

QED as it relies on that library so QED currently doesn't support temp credential token because the h5library doesn't support it. When the updated h5library support for temp credential token is available, it needs to be pulled into QED.

the last relevant hdf5 bug i'm aware of is now fixed. the head of the hdf5 repository now produces a libhdf5 that works correctly the on-demand system. unfortunately, this means that we have to have a custom build of hdf5 from source while the fix makes it to the next release.

Here is qed on the on demand system visualizing a dataset from a bucket with authentication done via the web identity token file.

The upcoming release of hdf5 will include support for all this, so this is no longer a qed issue.
