Does this strictly have anything to do with Disk?

Would ChunkCachedArrays.jl be a better name?

[meggart]

You are right, it is actually not tied to disks, so a different name would make sense. I am not really happy with having Cached in the package name, because it might imply that we do some LRU cache or similar, which we don't...

[xiaodaigh]

How about ChunkedArrayInterface.jl? DiskArrays.jl is really misleading.

Changing the name now means changing the dependencies of quite a few packages. @xiaodaigh you would want to commit to making all the PRs, or this is a headache for the already time-stretched ecosystem for geospatial data.

I'm personally fine with DiskArrays.jl, because its by far the main use case in all the packages that currently depend on it. It also communicates the fact that it's designed around the problem of the source arrays being very slow to load, where ChunkedArrayInterface.jl doesn't.

[xiaodaigh]

legitimate real-world concerns.

I think this is not up for changing at this point
