@jhamman In brief, it's weird.

Engine | encoding['_FillValue'] = False | Do nothing ----- | ----- | ----- netCDF4 | Filling off | Filling on scipy | Filling off | Filling off h5netcdf | Filling on | Filling off

So, this is some peculiar behavior. Setting _FillValue to False works for netCDF4 (as we have seen), has no effect using the scipy engine, and seems to do the opposite of intended for h5netcdf.

Code below:

``` import xarray as xr import numpy as np import pandas as pd

ds = xr.Dataset({'foo': (('x', 'y'), np.random.rand(4, 5))}, coords={'x': [10, 20, 30, 40], 'y': pd.date_range('2000-01-01', periods=5), 'z': ('x', list('abcd'))})

ds.to_netcdf('notset_scipy.nc', engine='scipy') ds.to_netcdf('notset_netcdf4.nc', engine='netcdf4') ds.to_netcdf('notset_h5netcdf.nc', engine='h5netcdf')

ds.y.encoding['_FillValue'] = False

ds.to_netcdf('False_scipy.nc', engine='scipy') ds.to_netcdf('False_netcdf4.nc', engine='netcdf4') ds.to_netcdf('False_h5netcdf.nc', engine='h5netcdf') ```

netCDF4 $ ncinfo -v y notset_netcdf4.nc <type 'netCDF4._netCDF4.Variable'> int64 y(y) units: days since 2000-01-01 00:00:00 calendar: proleptic_gregorian unlimited dimensions: current shape = (5,) filling on, default _FillValue of -9223372036854775806 used $ ncinfo -v y False_netcdf4.nc <type 'netCDF4._netCDF4.Variable'> int64 y(y) units: days since 2000-01-01 00:00:00 calendar: proleptic_gregorian unlimited dimensions: current shape = (5,) filling off

Allowing {'_FillValue': False} to indicate that _FillValue should not be included would be a simple, easy fix, so we should probably do that regardless.

Correct me if you're talking about something different, but xarray already supports setting _FillValue to False to turn off filling. (Is there any use case where filling remains on but without a valid _FillValue?) For example, I have a netCDF processing routine using xarray. In the code I have the line for the lon dimension:

ds.lon.encoding['_FillValue'] = False

Which, for the relevant dimension, yields in ncinfo:

$ ncinfo -v lon yesfalse.nc <type 'netCDF4._netCDF4.Variable'> float64 lon(lon) units: degrees_east long_name: Longitude epic_code: 502 unlimited dimensions: current shape = (1,) filling off

If I comment out that line in my processing routine, I get the following:

$ ncinfo -v lon nofalse.nc <type 'netCDF4._netCDF4.Variable'> float64 lon(lon) _FillValue: nan units: degrees_east long_name: Longitude epic_code: 502 unlimited dimensions: current shape = (1,) filling on

I agree that changing from False to None does make better semantic sense.
