Xarray's where methods use `np.nan` as the default `other` argument, this causes the type to be cast to a float. If you want to maintain a integer type, you'll need to specify another value for `other`. xref: http://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/computation.html#missing-values, http://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/generated/xarray.DataArray.where.html ","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,505493879
