The complevel and shuffle do not work on outputting file after updating the variable encoding. I set the variable encoding through `ds_test.net_heating.encoding.update({'complevel': 2, 'shuffle': True})` but the output nc file does not have _Shuffle and _DeflateLevel shown in the `ncdump -hs test.nc`. I, then, read in the output test.nc and check the encoding of the same variable and find the complevel = 0 and shuffle = False. ### What did you expect to happen? 1. The output file.nc shows correct _Shuffle and _DeflateLevel through ncdump -hs file.nc. 2. Read in the output file.nc through Xarray and check the encoding of the same variable should show complevel = 2 and shuffle = True. ### Minimal Complete Verifiable Example ```python >> ds_test.var.encoding {'zlib': False, 'shuffle': False, 'complevel': 0, 'fletcher32': False, 'contiguous': False, 'chunksizes': (1, 1500, 3600), 'source': 'file.nc', 'original_shape': (336, 1500, 3600), 'dtype': dtype('float32'), 'missing_value': -1e+20, '_FillValue': -1e+20} >> ds_test.var.encoding.update({'complevel': 2, 'shuffle': True}) >> ds_test.var.encoding {'zlib': False, 'shuffle': True, 'complevel': 2, 'fletcher32': False, 'contiguous': False, 'chunksizes': (1, 1500, 3600), 'source': 'file.nc', 'original_shape': (336, 1500, 3600), 'dtype': dtype('float32'), 'missing_value': -1e+20, '_FillValue': -1e+20} >> ds_test.to_netcdf('test.nc') >> ds_read = xr.open_dataset('test.nc') >> ds_read.var.encoding {'zlib': False, 'shuffle': False, 'complevel': 0, 'fletcher32': False, 'contiguous': False, 'chunksizes': (1, 1500, 3600), 'source': 'test.nc', 'original_shape': (336, 1500, 3600), 'dtype': dtype('float32'), 'missing_value': -1e+20, '_FillValue': -1e+20} ``` ### Relevant log output _No response_ ### Anything else we need to know? _No response_ ### Environment INSTALLED VERSIONS ------------------ commit: None python: 3.9.7 (default, Sep 16 2021, 13:09:58) [GCC 7.5.0] python-bits: 64 OS: Linux OS-release: 4.18.0-348.7.1.el8_5.x86_64 machine: x86_64 processor: x86_64 byteorder: little LC_ALL: None LANG: en_US.UTF-8 LOCALE: ('en_US', 'UTF-8') libhdf5: 1.12.1 libnetcdf: 4.8.1 xarray: 0.20.2 pandas: 1.3.5 numpy: 1.20.3 scipy: 1.7.3 netCDF4: 1.5.8 pydap: None bottleneck: 1.3.2 dask: 2021.12.0 distributed: 2021.12.0 matplotlib: 3.5.1 cartopy: 0.20.1 seaborn: None numbagg: None fsspec: 2021.11.1 cupy: None pint: None sparse: 0.13.0 setuptools: 58.0.4 pip: 21.2.4 conda: None pytest: None IPython: 7.31.0 sphinx: None h5netcdf: None h5py: None Nio: None zarr: None cftime: 1.5.1.1 nc_time_axis: None PseudoNetCDF: None rasterio: None cfgrib: None iris: None ","{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/6167/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,completed,13221727,issue
