What about h5py ? Have you tried it with hdf5 v1.10 ?
There are many things going around pytables, h5py and hdf5:
* h5py (2.6) supports the new features of hdf5 1.10 (SWMR mainly)
* pytable is useful but no more heavily developed. It has been agreed
with the dev of h5py to make pytable depend on h5py to have only 1
wrapper for hdf5 in python and pytables will just offer a different
API.
This said, I don't know how advanced this migation.
This option was first discussed at SciPy 2015 [1], then officially
announced after SciPy 2016 [2].

Unfortunaly it is far from achieved and the dedicated 'pt4' branch of
the pytables repo is stalled since late august. Thus the 'pytables overs
h5py' option seems dead for Stretch release.
This left us with the 'embed hdf5 1.8.16 into the pytable package'
option.
Antonio, any thought about this?
Thanks,
