When reading a generic HDF5 file (i.e. one that has not been created with PyTables, but with some other HDF5 library based tool), chances are that the specific combination of datatypes or dataspaces in some dataset might not be supported by PyTables yet. In such a case, this dataset will be mapped into an UnImplemented instance and the user will still be able to access the complete object tree of the generic HDF5 file. The user will also be able to *read and write the attributes* of the dataset, *access some of its metadata*, and perform *certain hierarchy manipulation operations* like deleting or moving (but not copying) the node. Of course, the user will not be able to read the actual data on it. This is an elegant way to allow users to work with generic HDF5 files despite the fact that some of its datasets are not supported by PyTables. However, if you are really interested in having full access to an unimplemented dataset, please get in contact with the developer team.
