Summary: Increasing "MAX_FILES" in HDF4
Category: None
Group: None
Resolution: None
Initial Comment:
I'm not entirely sure why, but the base HDF4 library decided to set the maximum number of open HDF4 files to 32, an issue reported at http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/HDF . Increasing the allowed number of simultaneously open HDF4 files would really help doing things like mosaicking MODIS files. I'm requesting that you modify the hlimits.h file and modify the following line:
# define MAX_FILE 32
to
# define MAX_FILE 1024
(or something very high). I can't imagine having compatibility problems with increasing this value, just less of a "safety" net.
Specifically, I want to be able to create global virtual mosaics of MODIS LAI files, and this requires opening > 100 MODIS HDF4 tiles at once.
