Parameters:

path_or_buf : the path (string) or HDFStore object

key : string

indentifier for the group in the store

mode : optional, {?a?, ?w?, ?r+?}, default ?a?

'w'

Write; a new file is created (an existing file with the same name would be deleted).

'a'

Append; an existing file is opened for reading and writing, and if the file does not exist it is created.

complevel : int, 1-9, default 0

If a complib is specified compression will be applied where possible

complib : {?zlib?, ?bzip2?, ?lzo?, ?blosc?, None}, default None

If complevel is > 0 apply compression to objects written in the store wherever possible

fletcher32 : bool, default False

If applying compression use the fletcher32 checksum

dropna : boolean, default False.

If true, ALL nan rows will not be written to store.
