read HDF5 file to pandas DataFrame with conditions

Question

I have a huge HDF5 file, I want to load part of it in a pandas DataFrame to perform some operations, but I am interested in filtering some rows.

I can explain better

Answer 1

You can do this using pandas.read_hdf (here), with the optional parameter of where.
For example: read_hdf('store_tl.h5', 'table', where = ['index>2'])
