+ If a dataset's storage layout is 'compact', care must be taken when
+ writing data to the dataset in parallel. A compact dataset's raw data
+ is cached in memory and may be flushed to the file from any of the
+ parallel processes, so parallel applications should always attempt to
+ write identical data to the dataset from all processes.
