The specified Zarr chunk encoding is (1, 16, 16), but (64,) in variable Dask chunks ((64,), (8, 8, 8, 8), (8, 8, 8, 8)) is incompatible. Consider rechunking using `chunk() ``` (if I add del ds.v.encoding['chunks'] as follows, it does not break) ```python nx, ny, nt = 32, 32, 64 ds = xr.Dataset({}, coords={'x':np.arange(nx),'y':np.arange(ny), 't': np.arange(nt)}) ds = ds.assign(v=ds.t*np.cos(np.pi/180./100*ds.x)*np.cos(np.pi/180./50*ds.y)) ds = ds.chunk({'t': 1, 'x': nx/2, 'y': ny/2}) ds.to_zarr('data.zarr', mode='w') ds = xr.open_zarr('data.zarr') del ds.v.encoding['chunks'] ds = ds.chunk({'t': nt, 'x': nx/4, 'y': ny/4}) ds.to_zarr('data_rechunked.zarr', mode='w') ```","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,340192831
