What is the current best package for manipulating HDF5 data files?

I tried "hdf5" a long time ago, but I ran into memory problems. "h5r" is on
CRAN now, and "rhdf5" is part of bioconductor.

Ideally, I'd like to read simple vectors or tables, either the entire thing
or a subset of rows. I don't need much writing support, but it would be
nice. Compression is a must, though.

Thanks,
Johann
