| 667864088 | MDU6SXNzdWU2Njc4NjQwODg= | 4285 | Awkward array backend? | 4160723 | open | 0 | 38 | 2020-07-29T13:53:45Z | 2023-12-30T18:47:48Z | MEMBER | Just curious if anyone here has thoughts on this. For more context: Awkward is like numpy but for arrays of very arbitrary (dynamic) structure. I don't know much yet about that library (I've just seen this SciPy 2020 presentation), but now I could imagine using xarray for dealing with labelled collections of geometrical / geospatial objects like polylines or polygons. At this stage, any integration between xarray and awkward arrays would be something highly experimental, but I think this might be an interesting case for flexible arrays (and possibly flexible indexes) mentioned in the roadmap. There is some discussion here: https://github.com/scikit-hep/awkward-1.0/issues/27. Does anyone see any other potential use case? cc @pydata/xarray |
