Errors when trying to open an H5 file

I am a novice with .H5 files, but I have pulled out a few files from my system at work and am trying to view them. First I tried in ArcGIS since the format is now supported, but I received a very vague error that the raster was invalid. Now I downloaded HDFView and I am getting this error:

I've attached one of the files I am trying to view/open so someone with more experience can take a look and hopefully enlighten me with what is wrong.

Thanks in advance!

I see the same error (macOS El Capitan, HDFview 2.13) when I click on a
Data object. Panoply gives "There was an error preparing the data: Unknown
filter type=32000".

LZF Filter

*Filter ID:* 32000

*Filter Description:*

The LZF filter is an alternative DEFLATE-style compressor for HDF5
datasets, using the free LZF library by Marc Alexander Lehmann. Its main
benefit over the built-in HDF5 DEFLATE filter is speed; in memory-to-memory
operation as part of the filter pipeline, it typically compresses 3x-5x
faster than DEFLATE, and decompresses 2x faster, while maintaining 50% to
90% of the DEFLATE compression ratio.

LZF can be used to compress any data type, and requires no compile-time or
run-time configuration. HDF5 versions 1.6.5 through 1.8.3 are supported.
The filter is written in C and can be included directly in C or C++
applications; it has no external dependencies. The license is 3-clause BSD
(virtually unrestricted, including commercial applications).

More information, downloads, and benchmarks, are available at the
http://h5py.org/lzf/\.

*Additional Information:*

The LZF filter was developed as part of the h5py project, which implements
a general-purpose interface to HDF5 from Python.

*Links:*

The h5py homepage: http://h5py.org
The LZF library homepage: Marc Lehmann's "LibLZF"

Since ArcGIS uses python, you might be able to install the lzf filter where
ArcGIS can use it.

It opens in h5py without any problem, and I was able to plot the data in NeXpy. Could it be a permissions issue?

Hello!

HDF5 provides the capability to employ dynamically loaded filters. See:

                Dynamic Plugins in HDF5

We test many of the filter plugins internally. We will try the LZF filter plugin and plan to add it to our
testing. I entered bug HDFFV-10174 for the issue.
