I would prefer to retain the dense representation, but with tricks to keep the data of sparse type in memory.

Look at the following example with pandas multiindex & sparse dtype:

The dense data uses ~40 MB of memory, while the dense representation with sparse dtypes uses only ~0.5 kB of memory!

And while you can import dataframes with the sparse=True keyword, the size seems to be displayed inaccurately (both are the same size?), and we cannot examine the data like we can with pandas multiindex + sparse dtype:

Besides, a lot of operations are not available on sparse xarray data variables (i.e. if I wanted to group by price level for ffill & downsampling):

So, it would be nice if xarray adopted pandas’ approach of unstacking sparse data.

In the end, you could extract all the non-NaN values and write them to a sparse storage format, such as TileDB sparse arrays. cc: @stavrospapadopoulos
