When reading a dataset using REST VOL, if the size of the datatype supplied to the read does not match the size of the datatype of the dataset, then the code crashes.
Here is a stack trace of the crash:

Note that when the asset is atl03-local, and the read does not go through REST VOL but instead the regular libhdf5 library, then the code does not crash and works as expected.

Here is a stack trace of the crash:
To reproduce the crash, change the following line so that the "INTEGER" type is instead "REAL": https://github.com/ICESat2-SlideRule/sliderule/blob/42b41d8ef925befecbd4f077f40dab37d8075600/plugins/icesat2/tests/api.py#L72
