        HDF5 file handle to which to write. Assumes `features`, `targets`

    which_set : str
        Which set of images is being processed. One of 'train', 'valid',
        'test'.  Used for extracting the appropriate images from the patch
        archive.
    image_archive : str or file-like object
        The filename or file-handle for the TAR archive containing images.
    patch_archive : str or file-like object
        Filename or file handle for the TAR archive of patch images.
    groundtruth : iterable
        Iterable container containing scalar 0-based class index for each
        image, sorted by filename.
    offset : int
        The offset in the HDF5 datasets at which to start writing.
