So using a cleaner minimal example it does appear that the files are closed after the dataset is closed. However, they are all open during dataset loading - this is what blows past the OSX default max open file limit.

I think this could be a real issue when using Xarray to handle too-big-for-ram datasets - you could easily be trying to access 1000s of files (especially with weather data), so Xarray should limit the number it holds open at any one time during data load. Not being familiar with the internals I'm not sure if this is an issue in Xarray itself or in the Dask backend.
