Warning

Bug:

The compressor squeezes an array of numeric values using one of the available packing algorithms (blosc, lc4, qlin16, qlog16). qlin16 and qlog16 are lossy compression algorithms and only available for values of type double. Although BLOSC is designed to compress doubles, it is allowed to use it with other data then doubles. The QLIN16 and QLOG16 algorithms do not!
