Wrong hdf5 compression listed in the docs #4

Description

The website documentation notes that the hdf5 files are compressed with bzip2, but actually looking at the files:

h5dump -pH corner_slow1.synced.left_event.hdf5 | grep 'FILTER|COMMENT'
FILTERS {
USER_DEFINED_FILTER {
FILTER_ID 32015
COMMENT Zstandard compression: http://www.zstd.net
FILTERS {
USER_DEFINED_FILTER {
FILTER_ID 32015
COMMENT Zstandard compression: http://www.zstd.net
FILTERS {
USER_DEFINED_FILTER {
FILTER_ID 32015
COMMENT Zstandard compression: http://www.zstd.net
FILTERS {
USER_DEFINED_FILTER {
FILTER_ID 32015
COMMENT Zstandard compression: http://www.zstd.net
FILTERS {
USER_DEFINED_FILTER {
FILTER_ID 32015
COMMENT Zstandard compression: http://www.zstd.net
FILTERS {
USER_DEFINED_FILTER {
FILTER_ID 32015
COMMENT Zstandard compression: http://www.zstd.net

You can see that Zstd compression is used instead. Admittedly I only looked at this one file, but this inconsistency can affect those using their own tooling to decompress the data.

Thanks
