We could potentially define a basic index API (based on what we currently use from pandas) and allow alternative index implementations. There are certainly other use cases where go beyond pandas makes sense -- a KDTree for indexing geospatial data is one obvious example.,"{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,267628781

But this is already the case? See https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/1017 

With on file datasets I *think* it is sufficient to `drop_variables` when opening the dataset in order not to parse the coordinates:

```ds = xr.open_dataset(f,  drop_variables=['lon', 'lat'])```
