Compress ANY large payloads when saving, not just Cube.data
.
For example an ancillary variable with the same dimensionality as the Cube
could be very large, but often only has a few discrete values.
Motivation
Reported by @pasc85. Saving a status flag - which can either be 0
or 1
- is producing an unnecessarily large file. this is an obvious case for compression since the array will have a large shape, but could in theory be represented using a single bit
Additional context
- I don't know if this can easily extend to all file types or should just be limited to NetCDF as in the original use case.
- @bjlittle's initial idea is to automatically apply compression to anything with the same shape as
Cube.data
.
