Malformed input h5ad file

@Sumira83

The error message associated with your failed run is

“The ‘X’ field in this h5ad file lacks the ‘encoding-type’ metadata field. That field is necessary for this software to determine if this data is stored as a sparse or dense matrix. Please see the anndata specification here\nOn-disk format — anndata 0.11.1.dev11+g2602e5b documentation

May I ask: with what library/piece of software did you create your h5ad file? If the answer is the python anndata library, what version of anndata did you use? It appears that whatever created your anndata file did not produce a file that is consistent with what the published anndata specification says an h5ad file should look like.

We have just pushed a change to the MapMyCells code that allows it to infer the missing metadata fields from the data in the file. This failure should no longer be a problem for anyone. Please let me know if I am mistaken.
