Launching cellxgene with an h5ad fails but suceeds with the cxg version of the dataset

[MDunitz]

For certain datasets running
cellxgene launch dataset_name.h5ad will fail with 404 http errors
but if you pre convert with
cellxgene convert dataset_name.h5ad
and then launch with
cellxgene launch dataset_name.cxg it succeeds

Issue raised while working with @wariobrega. Note to let him know when this is fixed

[MDunitz]

The successful cxg conversion required passing in the flags --disable-custom-colors and --disable-corpora-schema

Hey @MDunitz , do we have a dataset that we own that we can use to repro this? I'm worried that this is going to be quite tricky to fix if we can't repro on our end.

[MDunitz]

I dont know if we have a dataset we own. I can reach out to @wariobrega again about getting access to the dataset he ran into this issue with.

Closing this for now as a low priority bug. If we run into this situation again, can re-open!
