282178751 MDU6SXNzdWUyODIxNzg3NTE= 1784 Add compute=False keywords to `to_foo` functions 306380 closed 0     9 2017-12-14T17:25:19Z 2018-05-16T15:05:03Z 2018-05-16T15:05:03Z MEMBER      

When working with @jhamman profiling the to_zarr method on large datasets I wanted the ability to run through the to_zarr setup code, but avoid waiting on the dask computation to finish. In many functions in Dask proper our to_foo methods have a compute=False keyword that returns a dask.delayed object on which people can call compute later if desired.
