ok... but do they need to read the full file? I mean, if I have a 
3D vector field, each component is a 5 Gb file. I'm opening this in a 
cluster, all nodes see the files. Does each node load the 3 files entirely 
and then distribute among themselves or it just looks for its part of the 
file?

Sorry if the question is dumb... but is the workflow something like:

  - read geometry
  - partition/distribute geometry/mesh
  - only read relevant data to each node from files

  ?
