How about we keep your sentence which is _much_ better than my first sentence, _and_ my second sentence? I think it's important to make the point that this function does not have side effects.

Any idea why the docs build failed?","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,663287119

But I still think it would be helpful to have this information in some of the tutorial for xarray.

Also, one thing that can happen that could be addressed in this process is a non-unique multi-index. I did this with a set of experimental data, and then `.to_xarray()` errored out because the multi index was non-unique, which is OK for pandas apparently, but not for xarray.  

Note that this isn't necessarily pathological: This happened to me because there was oversampling of some data points in my data set.

So it would be very helpful for the tutorial to address this -- if you have multiple samples at the same point in the condition space, how do you add arbitrary indexing so that you can successfully translate from a data frame with non-unique indexing to an xarray.  Is there some way to do this automatically, so we have the equivalent of `lat x lon x 0`, `lat x lon x 1`, and so on?

Even the diagnostic process is a bit of a nuisance: 
```
import numpy as np
foo = filtered.index[np.where(filtered.index.duplicated(False))]
foo.sort_values()
```
so it would be nice to have a step-by-step translation guide.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,585323675

I looked at the directions for building the docs as you suggested, and I'm afraid it's too big an ask for me.  I don't use conda, and I can't spare the time to learn it.  Similarly, I know enough RST to write numpy-style docstrings, but I don't have the time to learn Sphinx.  With all due respect, if xarray wants contributions from people like me, something has to be done to make this easier.

I'm just doing this because I'm contributing to Arviz, which depends on xarray.

I know it's kind of overloading this issue, but if you would also LMK if there's a clean way to do compound querying, the way one can in Pandas, I will also put in something about that.

```
foo = data_array.where(np.logical_and(other_data_array['bar'] == 12, other_data_array['baz'] < 22))
```

...is all I have come up with and this gets bloated and unreadable really quickly if there are multiple conjuncts.  Infix conjunction seems not to work unless I take the `.values` of the data array subsets, which adds its own layer of bloat.

I figure this is something that lots of people will want to do, but it seems a lot harder than `pd.DataFrame.query()`
