This page is for summarizing the discussion assessment on the topic of streaming vs file transfer. See also the extensive discussion for this page.
Background
- speed up delivery of netcdf files by avoiding a local copy action before the download (if store=false)
- might not require "real streaming formats" such as ncstream
- ncstream is a new format that differs from current netcdf 3/4, hence users would have to locally convert from ncstream to "normal" netcdf if they want a netcdf file in the end. Therefore, ncstream may be useful for specific client applications, but maybe not for general file download
- requires separation of header creation and variable data (this is probably accomplished in C API but we are not sure about Python API)
- might not require "real streaming formats" such as ncstream
