368004737,MDExOlB1bGxSZXF1ZXN0MjIxMjgyMzI0,2476,Add a GRIB backend via ECMWF cfgrib / ecCodes,226037,closed,0,,,17,2018-10-09T01:13:10Z,2018-10-25T21:10:36Z,2018-10-17T16:53:32Z,MEMBER,,0,pydata/xarray/pulls/2476,"This is currently a WIP PR for review.
 - [x] Addresses #2475 - only read support is proposed for now.
 - [x] Tests added.
 - [x] Documented, including `whats-new.rst` for all changes and `api.rst` for new API.

The implementation depends on the python module *cfgrib* and the C-library ecCodes to be installed.

Work in progress items:
 - [x] the coordinate rename doesn't really belong here, move it to *cfgrib*,
 - [x] port cfgrib backend to use the new `CachingFileManager` interface
 - [x] implement proper locking
 - [x] test *dask* support (real performance with *dask* depends on saving the external index)
 - ~~~the encoding options are needlessly different from the standard ones, try to sync them~~~ not urgent
