Due to pydata/xarray#7292 zarr
arrays with fill_value
set get their dtype
changed to float32
. This causes the dataset to fail when opened with sgkit
.
fill_value
is used in zarr
to set a default value for arrays, this can be useful as it allows chunks that only contain the default value to not be written to disk at all. I was investigating using this for tskit-dev/tsinfer#729 where we are storing many short haplotypes.
