423016453 MDU6SXNzdWU0MjMwMTY0NTM= 2824 Dataset.from_records()? 2418513 open 0     4 2019-03-20T00:46:19Z 2021-05-13T20:20:52Z   NONE      

Currently, to easily create a Dataset from an existing numpy recarray (not a DataArray, which is currently bugged anyway with recarrays due to #1434), I couldn't find an easier way than

python df = xr.Dataset.from_dataframe(pd.DataFrame(my_recarray).set_index('foo'))

(which is kind of dumb since it allocates the memory twice)

It would definitely be nice to be able to do just this (perhaps with extra arguments to set index on the fly etc):

python df = xr.Dataset.from_records(my_recarray, ...)

(Apologies if I'm missing something obvious.)
