Ideally it would support incrementally writing data.,"{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,509285415

https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/file_format_specifications.html#offset_format_spec

We could potentially support writing these variables to disk with scipy, but it would require refactoring xarray's scipy netCDF backend to write record variables (with indeterminate size), which we currently don't use.

In the meanwhile, the best work-around is to use the netCDF4 file format, either via the netCDF4 Python package or h5netcdf.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,509285415

Are you sure this is an xarray error? It looks like the error is being raised from scipy","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,509285415
