You're right to clarify this, but I think your clarification needs clarifying :D I guess Zarr doesn't actually care about grids at all, only about multidimensional arrays. So we shouldn't...

I like the idea of a figure, but I find the layout of this particular image hard to parse. Perhaps we should brainstorm on this synchronously at a meeting.

Really cool to see you using xarray for radio astronomy data! I didn't know we had users in that field. > I propose that the `chunks` kwarg in `BackendEntrypoint.open_datatree` support...

Thanks for raising this @maxrjones . I think I met @cedricpenard and Flavien at AGU in December 👋 > an additional array in the chunk manifest This could potentially be...

I agree - I find a TODO without an issue gets completely forgotten about because it's invisible unless you happen to be looking at that exact spot in the codebase...

It doesn't need to be complicated - even a function applied in an embarrassingly parallel manner using `vectorize=True` argument to `xr.apply_ufunc` would be enough to show users what is needed...

Hi @mathause , sorry for the super slow reply here. This is actually basically how old datatree used to work. But when we moved everything upstream into xarray, we made...

This is an example where the correct behavior is simply whatever the kechunk spec says to do / the kerchunk library actually does. Clearly throwing an error is wrong, but...

Are you able to serialize other numpy dtypes? Presumably we must be able to?
