I think this is an interesting idea. I was just asking @shoyer the other day if we could use dask.distributed with xray objects.

@shoyer will be able to speak more to the applicability and effort required to implement distarray. I'm not sure how many array abstractions we want in xray. Currently we have two (numpy and dask). Fully distributed arrays may be the logical extension.

One major drawback I see is that we don't have a parallel netCDF library in python so I/O will be an issue.
