+ * Cache the information retrieved.
+ *
+ * Note that if we are writing to the dataset in parallel and filters
+ * are involved, we skip caching this information as it is highly likely
+ * that the chunk information will be invalidated as a result of the
+ * filter operation (e.g. the chunk gets re-allocated to a different
+ * address in the file and/or gets re-allocated with a different size).
+ * If we were to cache this information, subsequent reads/writes would
+ * retrieve the invalid information and cause a variety of issues.
+ *
+ * It has been verified that in the serial library, when writing to chunks
+ * with the real chunk cache disabled and with filters involved, the
+ * functions within this file are correctly called in such a manner that
+ * this single chunk cache is always updated correctly. Therefore, this
+ * check is not needed for the serial library.
+ *
+ * This is an ugly and potentially frail check, but the
+ * H5D__chunk_cinfo_cache_reset() function is not currently available
+ * to functions outside of this file, so outside functions can not
+ * invalidate this single chunk cache. Even if the function were available,
+ * this check prevents us from doing the work of going through and caching
+ * each chunk in the write operation, when we're only going to invalidate
+ * the cache at the end of a parallel write anyway.
