hdf5 error when format=table, pandas pytables

Question

It seems that I get an error when format=table but no error with format=fixed. Here is the command. What's weird is that it still seems to load the data. I just have to figure out a way to move past this. And it would give me peace of mind to not have any error. The dataframe is preprocessed, types set within the columns.

The command I run is:

hdf = pd.HDFStore('path-to-file')

hdf.put('df',df,format='table')

The error I get is:
