Cloud-friendly access to archival data

Docs Tests Pypi Conda-forge

Kerchunk is a library that provides a unified way to represent a variety of chunked, compressed data formats (e.g. NetCDF, HDF5, GRIB), allowing efficient access to the data from traditional file systems or cloud object storage.
It also provides a flexible way to create virtual datasets from multiple files. It does this by extracting the byte ranges, compression information and other information about the data and storing this metadata in a new, separate object. This means that you can create a virtual aggregate dataset over potentially many source files, for efficient, parallel and cloud-friendly in-situ access without having to copy or translate the originals. It is a gateway to in-the-cloud massive data processing while the data providers still insist on using legacy formats for archival storage.
