Description
What happened?
When opening a dataset, like one from the tutorial, and writing it as zarr file, an error is raised due to encodings that are invalid for the zarr
driver, when the encoding is given in to_zarr
. In this particular case, the encodings source
and original_shape
are added by xarray itself, so that I expect that it can handle these encodings without raising an error.
What did you expect to happen?
I expect that the encodings source
and original_shape
being dropped similar to the netCDF4
backend.
Minimal Complete Verifiable Example
import xarray as xr
ds = xr.tutorial.load_dataset("eraint_uvz")
ds.to_zarr("test.zarr", encoding={"z":{**ds.z.encoding}})
MVCE confirmation
- Minimal example — the example is as focused as reasonably possible to demonstrate the underlying issue in xarray.
- Complete example — the example is self-contained, including all data and the text of any traceback.
- Verifiable example — the example copy & pastes into an IPython prompt or Binder notebook, returning the result.
- New issue — a search of GitHub Issues suggests this is not a duplicate.
Relevant log output
>>> ds.to_zarr("test_w_offset.zarr01", encoding={"z":{**ds.z.encoding}})
