Research direction

Start by mapping the dacluster IPython cluster-management code and the engine namespace-management code, then trace their dependencies on DistArray. Determine viable package boundaries, external-use cases, and compatibility requirements before proposing a split; done means the scope and migration path are agreed.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

refactoring

I think at least

  • ipcluster management (dacluster), and
  • namespace management on the engines

could potentially be their own packages, useful outside DistArray.
