 The conventional way of reading a remote hdf5 file is to use the fsspec library as in [examples/example1_compare_fsspec.py](examples/example1_compare_fsspec.py). However, this approach is empirically much slower than using remfile. I am not familiar with the inner workings of fsspec, but it appears that it is not optimized for reading hdf5 files. Efficient access of remote hdf5 files requires reading small chunks of data to obtain meta information, and then large chunks of data, and parallelization, to obtain the larger data arrays.

 Furthermore, since the url can be an object with a get_url() method, it is possible to use remfile in a context where presigned URLs need to be renewed. As mentioned above, if you implement your own get_url() method, make sure it renews the signed URL only when necessary.
