/**
* A CompoundDS is a dataset with compound datatype.
*
* A compound datatype is an aggregation of one or more datatypes. Each member
* of a compound type has a name which is unique within that type, and a datatype
* of that member in a compound datum. Compound datatype can be nested, i.e. members
* of compound datatype can be some other compound datatype.
*
* For more details on compound datatype, see
* {@link HDF5 User's Guide}
*
* Since Java cannot handle C-structured compound data, data in compound dataset
* is loaded in to an Java List. Each element of the list is a data array that corresponds
* to a compound field. The data is read/written by compound field.
*
* For example, if compound dataset "comp" has the following nested structure,
* and memeber datatypes
*
* comp --> m01 (int)
* comp --> m02 (float)
* comp --> nest1 --> m11 (char)
* comp --> nest1 --> m12 (String)
* comp --> nest1 --> nest2 --> m21 (long)
* comp --> nest1 --> nest2 --> m22 (double)
*
* The data object is an Java list of six arrays: {int[], float[], char[], Stirng[], long[] and double[]}.
