[R] How to read a specific dataset, not the entire data, from HDF5?

[Felix Andrews]

Hi DH

I recommend the rgdal package, which provides R bindings for the
Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL). This does handle HDF5,
according to the list at http://www.gdal.org/formats_list.html

I have not ever used HDF5 myself, but that it what I would try.
