What are the advantages of using MPIDataSource instead of the old/deprecated XTC->HDF5 translator?
- For compute intensive jobs (e.g. detectors the require many corrections) MPIDataSource can be run in parallel, dramatically speeding up computing
- Users have critical control of what data goes in to the hdf5 file. In particular, the translator often outputs raw data arrays, while the user typically wants calibrated/corrected images
- The datasets in MPIDataSource are guaranteed to be time-aligned across datasets
- The old translator is no longer actively supported (data types later than 2017 are not included)
