Motivation
(I accidentally deleted my fork, and so this is a repeat of #1162 )
While hdf5 does not allow numcodecs.Codec for compression, lindi does. Right now hdmf does type checking for the compression parameter and raises an exception if the type is not in (str, bool, int). This PR simply allows the Codec type to be passed through so that it can be used with lindi.
How to test the behavior?
Here's an example that applies a custom compressor to filtered ephys data
https://github.com/NeurodataWithoutBorders/lindi/blob/lindi-tar/examples/DANDI/preprocess_ephys.py
You need to
pip install lindi
andpip install qfc
. See https://github.com/magland/qfcChecklist
