Question about pandas

I have some some data in HDF5 format, which can be loaded with h5py or PyTables without problem.
But I can't manage to read it with pd.read_hdf or pd.HDFStore.
Some examples data file can be found in here.

I saw this post claimed that "pandas interaction with HDF files is limited to specific structures that pandas understands". But that is about 8 years ago,and I can't find any information on the official documents.

So my questions:

  • Is it still true that pandas only support HDF5 file with specific structures?
  • If not, how can I load my file?
  • If yes, please add warning in the official documents!
