I have (finally) worked out how to use `groupby` and `apply` for my application but it would be much more useful if I could apply functions in parallel to take advantage of multiple CPUs. What's the expected effort to make something like this available in xarray? Several months ago I worked on doing this sort of thing without xarray using the multiprocessing module and a shared memory object and I may revisit that soon, but I expect that a solution using xarray will be more elegant so if such a thing is coming in the foreseeable future then I may wait on that and focus on other tasks. Can anyone advise? ","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,107424151
