HDFStore.put(key, value, table=False, append=False, compression=None)

Store object in HDFStore

Parameters :

key : object

value : {Series, DataFrame, Panel}

table : boolean, default False

Write as a PyTables Table structure which may perform worse but allow more flexible operations like searching / selecting subsets of the data

append : boolean, default False

For table data structures, append the input data to the existing table

compression : {None, ‘blosc’, ‘lzo’, ‘zlib’}, default None

Use a compression algorithm to compress the data If None, the compression settings specified in the ctor will be used.
