Research direction

Start by reading the linked Geostreams issue and wiki, then inspect the existing stream handling and Redis-related entry points in streamz. Define which reactive operations on key/value pairs and Xarray or Dask arrays are required; the work is done when a concrete design and implementation scope are agreed.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We are developing a tool for streaming N-D arrays from low level languages (Fortran/C) to Python. We are using Redis and are in the process of designing an Xarray backend (https://github.com/nbren12/geostreams/issues/6) as the user facing API. We are exploring different stream handling intermediaries that will allow us do many of the common reactive programing tasks on a collection of key/value pairs mapped to Xarray objects. Ideally, we come up with a solution that works well with dask arrays too.

@nbren12 may want to expand my initial description.
