OSError: [Errno -128] NetCDF: Attempt to use feature that was not turned on when netCDF was built.: b'/content/test.hdf'

Question

I downloaded MODIS data from its http server and was trying to load it in xarray on google colab. I added the netrc file and the file is not corrupted since gdalinfo on that gave no error.

URL = 'https://e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov/MOLT/MOD09GA.061/2019.02.24/MOD09GA.A2019055.h09v07.061.2020288120208.hdf'

result = requests.get(URL)
filename = 'test.hdf'
with open(filename, 'wb') as f:
  f.write(result.content)

when I run

xr.open_dataset('test.hdf',engine = 'netcdf4' )

this is the error

KeyError: [<class 'netCDF4._netCDF4.Dataset'>, ('/content/test1.hdf',), 'r', (('clobber', True), ('diskless', False), ('format', 'NETCDF4'), ('persist', False))]

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

OSError: [Errno -128] NetCDF: Attempt to use feature that was not turned on when netCDF was built.: b'/content/test.hdf'

What is the error about and how to resolve it?

netcdf4 version 1.5.8

xarray version 0.18.1
