2220228856 I_kwDOAMm_X86EVgD4 8901 Is .persist in place or like .compute? 24508496 closed 0     3 2024-04-02T11:09:59Z 2024-04-02T23:52:33Z 2024-04-02T23:52:33Z CONTRIBUTOR      

What is your issue?

I am playing around with using Dataset.persist and assumed it would work like .load. I also just looked at the source code and it looks to me like it should indeed replace the original data but I can see both in performance and the dask dashboard that steps are recomputed if I don't use the object returned by .persist which points me towards .persist behaving more like .compute.

In either case, I would make a PR to clarify in the docs whether persists leaves the original data untouched or not.
