What happened?

I'm not sure my usecase is the simplest way to demonstrate the issue, but let's try anyway.

I have a DataArray with two coordinates and I stack them into a new multi-index. I want to pass the levels of that new multi-index into a function, but as dask arrays. Turns out, it is not straightforward to chunk these variables because they act like IndexVariable objects and refuse to be chunked.

Thus, I reset the multi-index, drop it, but the variables still don't want to be chunked!

What did you expect to happen?

I expected the levels to be chunkable after the sequence : stack, reset_index.

Minimal Complete Verifiable Example

```Python import xarray as xr ds = xr.tutorial.open_dataset('air_temperature')

ds = ds.stack(spatial=['lon', 'lat']) ds = ds.reset_index('spatial', drop=True) # I don't think the drop is important here. lon_chunked = ds.lon.chunk() # woups, doesn't do anything!

type(ds.lon.variable) # xarray.core.variable.IndexVariable # I assumed either the stack or the reset_index would have modified this type into a normal variable. ```

MVCE confirmation

  • [X] Minimal example — the example is as focused as reasonably possible to demonstrate the underlying issue in xarray.
  • [X] Complete example — the example is self-contained, including all data and the text of any traceback.
  • [X] Verifiable example — the example copy & pastes into an IPython prompt or Binder notebook, returning the result.
  • [X] New issue — a search of GitHub Issues suggests this is not a duplicate.

Relevant log output

No response

Anything else we need to know?

Seems kinda related to the issues around reset_index. I thinks this is related to (but not a duplicate of) #4366.
