If there is an error with reading or validating an NWB/HDMF file and the file is large (>1 GB), sharing that file is burdensome, and rarely is the error due to the size of the datasets. It would be useful to create a simple tool to reduce the size of large (>1k elements) datasets and repack the new file to make it easier for sharing. Then when a user has a large file that cannot be read or validated, we can ask them to run this script on the file and share the resulting smaller file.
