Hi Ryan, FWIW the format spec does try to remain language-agnostic and talks in an abstract way about key/value stores. I think the discussion in this particular issue has been...

Thanks Ryan, good points. We certainly could be more explicit about the set of operations that a storage system must support, and make sure we include everything (e.g., listing all...

Just found out about intake via lurking on the pangeo repo, looks like a very cool package we could make good use of. I had a question about implementing a...

Cool, thank you. Btw I'm also thinking of writing a plugin for FASTA which is another biological file format (reference genomes) which can be accessed as numpy arrays via a...

Not sure this helps but FWIW in Zarr the ProcessSynchronizer uses a package called fasteners for file locking - https://github.com/zarr-developers/zarr/blob/master/zarr/sync.py On Thu, 21 Jun 2018, 22:32 Constantin Pape, wrote: >...

I haven't tested fasteners on shared file systems. My guess is it will work on nfsv4, otherwise no idea. Also FWIW in Zarr for multithreaded parallelism we use thread locks...

FWIW you might want to take a look at orthogonal selections rather than coordinate selections. The orthogonal indexer supports indexing with either integer or boolean arrays, and is a simpler...
