TileDB-CF-Py

The TileDB-CF-Py library is a Python library for supporting the NetCDF data model in the TileDB storage engine. TileDB-CF-Py provides readers and writers for viewing and manipulating TileDB arrays and groups using TileDB CF Dataspaces - a special TileDB group that follows the requirements in tiledb-cf-spec.md.

Quick Installation

This project is currently in early development, and is only available on GitHub.

Upon release it will be available from either conda-forge with conda:

conda install -c conda-forge tiledb-cf

or from PyPI with pip:

pip install tiledb-cf

Command Line Interface

TileDB-CF provides a command line interface. Currently, it has the following commands:

Usage: tiledb-cf netcdf-convert [OPTIONS]

  Converts a NetCDF input file to nested TileDB groups.

Options:
  -i, --input-file TEXT           The path or URI to the NetCDF file that will be converted.  [required]

  -o, --output-uri TEXT           The URI for the output TileDB group. [required]

  --input-group-path TEXT         The path in the input NetCDF for the root group that will be converted.  [default: /]

  --recursive / --no-recursive    Recursively convert all groups contained in the input group path.  [default: True]

  -k, --output-key TEXT           Key for the generated TileDB arrays.

  --unlimited-dim-size INTEGER    Size to convert unlimited dimensions to. [default: 10000]

  --dim-dtype [int8|int16|int32|int64|uint8|uint16|uint32|uint64]
                                  The data type for TileDB dimensions created from converted NetCDF.  [default: uint64]

  --help                          Show this message and exit.
