Research direction

The issue describes splitting data and metadata paths through a VFD, but names no files, tests, or entry points. First inspect the repository's existing HDF5 VFD and I/O buffering implementation; define the expected path-selection behavior and add tests demonstrating that data and metadata are separated.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Split VFD can be used to divide data and metadata into different paths. This can be used to optimize small data and large data.
