our code, this problem gets triggered because of xarrays lazy handling. If we have ``` with xr.open_dataset('file.nc') as ds: val = ds[""field""] return val ``` then when a caller tries to use `val`, xarray reopens the dataset and does not close it again. This means the context manager is actually useless: we're using the context manager to close the file as soon as we have accessed the value, but later the file gets opened again anyway. This is against the intention of the code. We can avoid this by calling `val.load()` from within the context manager, as the linked satpy PR above does. But what is the intention of xarrays design here? Should lazy reading close the file after opening and reading the value? I would say it probably should do something like ``` if file_was_not_open: open file get value close file # this step currently omitted return value else: get value return value ``` is not closing the file after it has been opened for retrieving a ""lazy"" file by design, or might this be considered a wart/bug?","{""total_count"": 2, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 2}",,442617907 https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/2954#issuecomment-491221266,https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/2954,491221266,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQ5MTIyMTI2Ng==,500246,2019-05-10T09:18:28Z,2019-05-10T09:18:28Z,CONTRIBUTOR,"Note that if I close every file neatly, there is no segmentation fault.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,442617907
