I have come across a similar error as this, and I've traced it down a bit. My code originally worked fine with HDF 1.8 and Pytables 2.0, but now that I'm running HDF 1.8.2 and Pytables 2.1, I see the error below with this table description: {'Timestamp':tables.Float64Col(), 'A_ID':tables.UInt32Col(), 'ID':tables.UInt64Col(), 'adcI':tables.Int8Col(shape=2**17,)), 'adcQ':tables.Int8Col(shape=2**17,)), 'SynFreq':tables.Float32Col(dflt=-1), 'ReceiverReady':tables.BoolCol(dflt=False), 'ReceiverState':tables.UInt32Col(), 'Noise':tables.UInt8Col(dflt=0), 'TertiaryPosition':tables.Int32Col(dflt=0), 'TelescopeHA':tables.Float32Col(dflt=0), 'TelescopeDec':tables.Float32Col(dflt=0), 'TelescopeLastUpdated':tables.Float64Col(dflt=0)}
The problem is with the 'adcI' and 'adcQ' columns. If I reduce their shape to 2**14 or lower, it seems to work fine. I hope this helps track down the bug, I really need this to work again.
