Failed to read lzf compressed dataset

[Ericsii]

Very appreciate this fascinating work you guys have made. This helps me a lot when I'm trying to find a modern C++ lib for hdf5 file. I used conda to install highfive from conda-forge channel.

However, I ran into an error when I was trying to read a lzf compressed image dataset.
The dataset link is here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1rwyRk26wtWeRgrAx_fgPc-ubUzTFThkV

Here is a sample code:

#include <highfive/highfive.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  if (argc < 2) {
    std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " <path_to_hdf5_file>\n";
    return -1;
  }
  HighFive::File file(argv[1], HighFive::File::ReadOnly);
  HighFive::DataSet dataset = file.getDataSet("/davis/left/image_raw");

  std::vector<std::vector<int>> image_data;
  dataset.select({0, 0, 0}, {1, 260, 346}).squeezeMemSpace({0}).read(image_data);

  std::cout << "Read image data of size: " << image_data.size() << " x " << image_data[0].size()
            << "\n";

  return 0;
}

Is there any way to register the lzf filter?

Adding new filters has been request a few times, usually for Blosc, see
#38

I sorta consider it rather advanced HDF5 usage, so I don't really mind if it requires using the HDF5 C API. The difficulty and reluctance to start working on it is that it's likely a lengthy CI project. Let's create an issue for it since it seems to be the most frequently requested feature.
