HFDUMP

The HFDUMP function produces a HFile from Geo Time Series data. The function produces a file in the directory from which the Warp 10 instance was launched, unless the configuration key hfdump.dir was set in which case the file will be created in this directory. The function will not overwrite an existing file.

If capabilify hfdump is set, its value will be treated as the root directory in which the file will be created.

On top of the input parameters described below, the HFDUMP function also supports the parameters of the FETCH function with the exlusion of ttl, wtimestamp, type, typeattr, gts, merge, priority and selectors.

The function will return a MAP containing various informations about the file that was just created. Those informations, among with others, are also stored in the HFile and in the accompanying .info file.

The list of GTS included in the HFile are stored in the companion .gts file.
