I wonder what it would take to make use of this ""nullable integer data type"" in xarray.  It wouldn't work to convert it to a standard numpy array (`da.values`) retaining the dtype, but one could make a new `.to_maskedarray()` method returning a numpy masked array; that would probably be easier than to add full support for masked arrays.","{""total_count"": 4, ""+1"": 4, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,199188476

I think it would still be highly desirable to implement support for true masked arrays, such that any value can be masked without throwing away the original value.

OTOH, NetCDF does have a _FillValue attribute that works for any type including int.  If we view xarray as ""NetCDF in memory"" that could be an approach to follow, but for numpy in general it would fairly heavily break existing code (see also http://www.numpy.org/NA-overview.html) in particular for 8-bit types.  If i understand correctly, R uses INT_MAX which would be 127 for 'int8…  Apparently, R ints are always 32 bits.  I'm new to xarray so I don't have a good idea on how much work adding support for masked arrays would be, but I'll take your word that it's not straightforward.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,199188476
