I agree with @rabernat and @TomNicholas that the easiest/best way to get progress information for computation is to use Dask.

We may want to consider something like a progress metric for a few Xarray operations that we can't offload to third party libraries. I'm mostly thinking of xarray's combine/merge/concat functions as opportunities for Xarray to improve its user experience. Simply telling the user how a task like open_mfdataset is progressing could go a long way toward improving the user's toleration for slow/challenging dataset construction operations (e.g. #1385).
