I am trying to save a big xarray (~2 GB) dataset using `to_netcdf()`. 

Dataset:

I tried the following three approaches:

1. Directly save using `dset.to_netcdf()`
2. Load before save using `dset.load().to_netcdf()`
3. Chunk data and save using `dset.chunk({'time': 19968}).to_netcdf()`

All three approaches failed to write to file which cause the python kernel to hang indefinitely or die.

Any suggestion?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,435535284
