Currently I am fine with using `persist()` since I can break down my analysis workflow to certain time periods for which data fits into RAM on a large machine. As I have written, the distributed scheduler failed for me because of #1464. But I would like to use it in the future. From other discussions on the dask schedulers (here or on SO) using the distributed scheduler seems to be a general recommendation anyway.
In summary, I am fine with my current workaround. I do not think that solving this issue has a high priority, in particular when the distributed scheduler is further improved. The main annoyance was to track down the problem described in my first post. Hence, maybe the limitations of the schedulers could be described a bit better in the documentation. Would you want a PR on this?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,289342234

I personally don't have any use cases that would prefer the multiprocessing scheduler over the distributed scheduler but I have been working on improving the I/O performance and stability with xarray and dask lately. If anyone would like to work on this, I'd gladly help this get cleaned up or put a more definitive no on whether or not this can/should work.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,289342234

The problem is that my actual use case also involves writing back a `xarray.Dataset` via `to_netcdf()`. I left this out of the example above to isolate the problem. With the `distributed` scheduler and `to_netcdf()`, I ran into this issue #1464. As I can see, this might be fixed ""soon"" (#1793).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,289342234
