I've been looking at your table description, and the ``hits`` column is
an array of compound types, and this is currently unsupported in
PyTables.
What you can do is to create the fields of the array in the ``hits``
column at the top-level table description. Or, if you still want to set
these fields apart, you can create them as nested fields of ``hits``
(that is, ``hits`` will become a compound of compounds), which is fully
supported.
Hope this helps,
