I reviewed the code and I think it shouldn’t work unless create/append happens 
on the same platform and the type of the data matches the type specified at 
creation time. I filed a bug report to take a closer look and to make sure we 
have a cross-platform testing for packet tables. For your reference JIRA issue 
is HDFFV-9042.
