  • Support of alternative array classes by introducing a new argument, meta_array, that specifies the type/class of the underlying array. The meta_array argument can be any class instance that can be used as the like argument in NumPy (see NEP 35). enabling support for CuPy through, for example, the creation of a CuPy CPU compressor.

2.11.2

Bug fixes

  • Changes the default value of write_empty_chunks to True to prevent unanticipated data losses when the data types do not have a proper default value when empty chunks are read back in. By Vyas Ramasubramani <vyasr>; 965, 1001.

2.11.1

Bug fixes

  • Fix bug where indexing with a scalar numpy value returned a single-value array. By Ben Jeffery <benjeffery> 967.
  • Removed clobber argument from normalize_store_arg. This enables to change data within an opened consolidated group using mode "r+" (i.e region write). By Tobias Kölling <d70-t> 975.

2.11.0

Enhancements

  • Sparse changes with performance impact! One of the advantages of the Zarr format is that it is sparse, which means that chunks with no data (more precisely, with data equal to the fill value, which is usually 0) don't need to be written to disk at all. They will simply be assumed to be empty at read time. However, until this release, the Zarr library would write these empty chunks to disk anyway. This changes in this version: a small performance penalty at write time leads to significant speedups at read time and in filesystem operations in the case of sparse arrays. To revert to the old behavior, pass the argument write_empty_chunks=True to the array creation function. By Juan Nunez-Iglesias <jni>; 853 and Davis Bennett <d-v-b>; 738.
  • Fancy indexing. Zarr arrays now support NumPy-style fancy indexing with arrays of integer coordinates. This is equivalent to using zarr.Array.vindex. Mixing slices and integer arrays is not supported. By Juan Nunez-Iglesias <jni>; 725.
  • New base class. This release of Zarr Python introduces a new BaseStore class that all provided store classes implemented in Zarr Python now inherit from. This is done as part of refactoring to enable future support of the Zarr version 3 spec. Existing third-party stores that are a MutableMapping (e.g. dict) can be converted to a new-style key/value store inheriting from BaseStore by passing them as the argument to the new zarr.storage.KVStore class. For backwards compatibility, various higher-level array creation and convenience functions still accept plain Python dicts or other mutable mappings for the store argument, but will internally convert these to a KVStore. By Gregory Lee <grlee77>; 839, 789, and 950.
  • Allow to assign array fill_values and update metadata accordingly. By Ryan Abernathey <rabernat>, 662.

This release of Zarr Python is the first release of Zarr to not support Python 3.5.

  • End Python 3.5 support. By Chris Barnes <clbarnes>; 602.
  • Fix open_group/open_array to allow opening of read-only store with mode='r' 269
  • Add Array tests for FSStore. By Andrew Fulton <andrewfulton9>; :issue: 644.
  • fix a bug in which attrs would not be copied on the root when using copy_all; 613
  • Fix FileNotFoundError with dask/s3fs 649
  • Fix flaky fixture in test_storage.py 652
  • Fix FSStore getitems fails with arrays that have a 0 length shape dimension 644
  • Use async to fetch/write result concurrently when possible. 536, See this comment for some performance analysis showing order of magnitude faster response in some benchmark.

See this link for the full list of closed and merged PR tagged with the 2.6 milestone.

  • Add ability to partially read and decompress arrays, see 667. It is only available to chunks stored using fsspec and using Blosc as a compressor.

    For certain analysis case when only a small portion of chunks is needed it can be advantageous to only access and decompress part of the chunks. Doing partial read and decompression add high latency to many of the operation so should be used only when the subset of the data is small compared to the full chunks and is stored contiguously (that is to say either last dimensions for C layout, firsts for F). Pass partial_decompress=True as argument when creating an Array, or when using open_array. No option exists yet to apply partial read and decompress on a per-operation basis.

2.3.0

Enhancements

  • New storage class for N5 containers. The zarr.n5.N5Store has been added, which uses zarr.storage.NestedDirectoryStore to support reading and writing from and to N5 containers. By Jan Funke <funkey> and John Kirkham <jakirkham>.

Bug fixes

  • The implementation of the zarr.storage.DirectoryStore class has been modified to ensure that writes are atomic and there are no race conditions where a chunk might appear transiently missing during a write operation. By sbalmer <sbalmer>, 327, 263.
  • Avoid raising in zarr.storage.DirectoryStore's __setitem__ when file already exists. By Justin Swaney <jmswaney>, 272, 318.
  • The required version of the Numcodecs package has been upgraded to 0.6.2, which has enabled some code simplification and fixes a failing test involving msgpack encoding. By John Kirkham <jakirkham>, 361, 360, 352, 355, 324.

  • Test validity of stores' contents. By John Kirkham <jakirkham>, 359, 408.

2.2.0

Enhancements

  • Advanced indexing. The Array class has several new methods and properties that enable a selection of items in an array to be retrieved or updated. See the tutorial_indexing tutorial section for more information. There is also a notebook with extended examples and performance benchmarks. 78, 89, 112, 172.
  • New package for compressor and filter codecs. The classes previously defined in the zarr.codecs module have been factored out into a separate package called Numcodecs. The Numcodecs package also includes several new codec classes not previously available in Zarr, including compressor codecs for Zstd and LZ4. This change is backwards-compatible with existing code, as all codec classes defined by Numcodecs are imported into the zarr.codecs namespace. However, it is recommended to import codecs from the new package, see the tutorial sections on tutorial_compress and tutorial_filters for examples. With contributions by John Kirkham <jakirkham>; 74, 102, 120, 123, 139.
  • New storage class for DBM-style databases. The zarr.storage.DBMStore class enables any DBM-style database such as gdbm, ndbm or Berkeley DB, to be used as the backing store for an array or group. See the tutorial section on tutorial_storage for some examples. 133, 186.
  • New storage class for LMDB databases. The zarr.storage.LMDBStore class enables an LMDB "Lightning" database to be used as the backing store for an array or group. 192.
  • New storage class using a nested directory structure for chunk files. The zarr.storage.NestedDirectoryStore has been added, which is similar to the existing zarr.storage.DirectoryStore class but nests chunk files for multidimensional arrays into sub-directories. 155, 177.
  • New tree() method for printing hierarchies. The Group class has a new zarr.hierarchy.Group.tree method which enables a tree representation of a group hierarchy to be printed. Also provides an interactive tree representation when used within a Jupyter notebook. See the tutorial_diagnostics tutorial section for examples. By John Kirkham <jakirkham>; 82, 140, 184.
  • Visitor API. The Group class now implements the h5py visitor API, see docs for the zarr.hierarchy.Group.visit, zarr.hierarchy.Group.visititems and zarr.hierarchy.Group.visitvalues methods. By John Kirkham <jakirkham>, 92, 122.
  • Viewing an array as a different dtype. The Array class has a new zarr.core.Array.astype method, which is a convenience that enables an array to be viewed as a different dtype. By John Kirkham <jakirkham>, 94, 96.
  • New open(), save(), load() convenience functions. The function zarr.convenience.open provides a convenient way to open a persistent array or group, using either a DirectoryStore or ZipStore as the backing store. The functions zarr.convenience.save and zarr.convenience.load are also available and provide a convenient way to save an entire NumPy array to disk and load back into memory later. See the tutorial section tutorial_persist for examples. 104, 105, 141, 181.
  • IPython completions. The Group class now implements __dir__() and _ipython_key_completions_() which enables tab-completion for group members to be used in any IPython interactive environment. 170.
  • New info property; changes to __repr__. The Group and Array classes have a new info property which can be used to print diagnostic information, including compression ratio where available. See the tutorial section on tutorial_diagnostics for examples. The string representation (__repr__) of these classes has been simplified to ensure it is cheap and quick to compute in all circumstances. 83, 115, 132, 148.
  • Chunk options. When creating an array, chunks=False can be specified, which will result in an array with a single chunk only. Alternatively, chunks=True will trigger an automatic chunk shape guess. See tutorial_chunks for more on the chunks parameter. 106, 107, 183.
  • Zero-dimensional arrays and are now supported; by Prakhar Goel <newt0311>, 154, 161.
  • Arrays with one or more zero-length dimensions are now fully supported; by Prakhar Goel <newt0311>, 150, 154, 160.
  • The .zattrs key is now optional and will now only be created when the first custom attribute is set; 121, 200.
  • New Group.move() method supports moving a sub-group or array to a different location within the same hierarchy. By John Kirkham <jakirkham>, 191, 193, 196.
  • ZipStore is now thread-safe; 194, 192.
  • New Array.hexdigest() method computes an Array's hash with hashlib. By John Kirkham <jakirkham>, 98, 203.
  • Improved support for object arrays. In previous versions of Zarr, creating an array with dtype=object was possible but could under certain circumstances lead to unexpected errors and/or segmentation faults. To make it easier to properly configure an object array, a new object_codec parameter has been added to array creation functions. See the tutorial section on tutorial_objects for more information and examples. Also, runtime checks have been added in both Zarr and Numcodecs so that segmentation faults are no longer possible, even with a badly configured array. This API change is backwards compatible and previous code that created an object array and provided an object codec via the filters parameter will continue to work, however a warning will be raised to encourage use of the object_codec parameter. 208, 212.
  • Added support for datetime64 and timedelta64 data types; 85, 215.
  • Array and group attributes are now cached by default to improve performance with slow stores, e.g., stores accessing data via the network; 220, 218, 204.
  • New LRUStoreCache class. The class zarr.storage.LRUStoreCache has been added and provides a means to locally cache data in memory from a store that may be slow, e.g., a store that retrieves data from a remote server via the network; 223.
  • New copy functions. The new functions zarr.convenience.copy and zarr.convenience.copy_all provide a way to copy groups and/or arrays between HDF5 and Zarr, or between two Zarr groups. The zarr.convenience.copy_store provides a more efficient way to copy data directly between two Zarr stores. 87, 113, 137, 217.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed bug where read_only keyword argument was ignored when creating an array; 151, 179.
  • Fixed bugs when using a ZipStore opened in 'w' mode; 158, 182.
  • Fill values can now be provided for fixed-length string arrays; 165, 176.
  • Fixed a bug where the number of chunks initialized could be counted incorrectly; 97, 174.
  • Fixed a bug related to the use of an ellipsis (...) in indexing statements; 93, 168, 172.
  • Fixed a bug preventing use of other integer types for indexing; 143, 147.

Documentation

  • Some changes have been made to the spec_v2 document to clarify ambiguities and add some missing information. These changes do not break compatibility with any of the material as previously implemented, and so the changes have been made in-place in the document without incrementing the document version number. See the section on spec_v2_changes in the specification document for more information.
  • A new tutorial_indexing section has been added to the tutorial.
  • A new tutorial_strings section has been added to the tutorial (135, 175).
  • The tutorial_chunks tutorial section has been reorganised and updated.
  • The tutorial_persist and tutorial_storage tutorial sections have been updated with new examples (100, 101, 103).
  • A new tutorial section on tutorial_pickle has been added (91).
  • A new tutorial section on tutorial_datetime has been added.
  • A new tutorial section on tutorial_diagnostics has been added.
  • The tutorial sections on tutorial_sync and tutorial_tips_blosc have been updated to provide information about how to avoid program hangs when using the Blosc compressor with multiple processes (199, 201).

Maintenance

  • A data fixture has been included in the test suite to ensure data format compatibility is maintained; 83, 146.
  • The test suite has been migrated from nosetests to pytest; 189, 225.
  • Various continuous integration updates and improvements; 118, 124, 125, 126, 109, 114, 171.
  • Bump numcodecs dependency to 0.5.3, completely remove nose dependency, 237.
  • Fix compatibility issues with NumPy 1.14 regarding fill values for structured arrays, 222, 238, 239.

2.1.4

  • Resolved an issue where calling hasattr on a Group object erroneously returned a KeyError. By Vincent Schut <vincentschut>; 88, 95.

2.1.3

  • Resolved an issue with zarr.creation.array where dtype was given as None (80).

2.1.2

  • Resolved an issue when no compression is used and chunks are stored in memory (79).

2.1.1

Various minor improvements, including: Group objects support member access via dot notation (__getattr__); fixed metadata caching for Array.shape property and derivatives; added Array.ndim property; fixed Array.__array__ method arguments; fixed bug in pickling Array state; fixed bug in pickling ThreadSynchronizer.

2.1.0

  • Group objects now support member deletion via del statement (65).
  • Added zarr.storage.TempStore class for convenience to provide storage via a temporary directory (59).
  • Fixed performance issues with zarr.storage.ZipStore class (66).
  • The Blosc extension has been modified to return bytes instead of array objects from compress and decompress function calls. This should improve compatibility and also provides a small performance increase for compressing high compression ratio data (55).
  • Added overwrite keyword argument to array and group creation methods on the zarr.hierarchy.Group class (71).
  • Added cache_metadata keyword argument to array creation methods.
  • The functions zarr.creation.open_array and zarr.hierarchy.open_group now accept any store as first argument (56).

2.0.1

The bundled Blosc library has been upgraded to version 1.11.1.

2.0.0

Hierarchies

Support has been added for organizing arrays into hierarchies via groups. See the tutorial section on tutorial_groups and the zarr.hierarchy API docs for more information.

Filters

Support has been added for configuring filters to preprocess chunk data prior to compression. See the tutorial section on tutorial_filters and the zarr.codecs API docs for more information.

Other changes

To accommodate support for hierarchies and filters, the Zarr metadata format has been modified. See the spec_v2 for more information. To migrate an array stored using Zarr version 1.x, use the zarr.storage.migrate_1to2 function.

The bundled Blosc library has been upgraded to version 1.11.0.

Acknowledgments

Thanks to Matthew Rocklin <mrocklin>, Stephan Hoyer <shoyer> and Francesc Alted <FrancescAlted> for contributions and comments.

1.1.0

  • The bundled Blosc library has been upgraded to version 1.10.0. The 'zstd' internal compression library is now available within Blosc. See the tutorial section on tutorial_compress for an example.
  • When using the Blosc compressor, the default internal compression library is now 'lz4'.
  • The default number of internal threads for the Blosc compressor has been increased to a maximum of 8 (previously 4).
  • Added convenience functions zarr.blosc.list_compressors and zarr.blosc.get_nthreads.

1.0.0

This release includes a complete re-organization of the code base. The major version number has been bumped to indicate that there have been backwards-incompatible changes to the API and the on-disk storage format. However, Zarr is still in an early stage of development, so please do not take the version number as an indicator of maturity.

Storage

The main motivation for re-organizing the code was to create an abstraction layer between the core array logic and data storage (21). In this release, any object that implements the MutableMapping interface can be used as an array store. See the tutorial sections on tutorial_persist and tutorial_storage, the spec_v1, and the zarr.storage module documentation for more information.

Please note also that the file organization and file name conventions used when storing a Zarr array in a directory on the file system have changed. Persistent Zarr arrays created using previous versions of the software will not be compatible with this version. See the zarr.storage API docs and the spec_v1 for more information.

Compression

An abstraction layer has also been created between the core array logic and the code for compressing and decompressing array chunks. This release still bundles the c-blosc library and uses Blosc as the default compressor, however other compressors including zlib, BZ2 and LZMA are also now supported via the Python standard library. New compressors can also be dynamically registered for use with Zarr. See the tutorial sections on tutorial_compress and tutorial_tips_blosc, the spec_v1, and the zarr.compressors module documentation for more information.

Synchronization

The synchronization code has also been refactored to create a layer of abstraction, enabling Zarr arrays to be used in parallel computations with a number of alternative synchronization methods. For more information see the tutorial section on tutorial_sync and the zarr.sync module documentation.

Changes to the Blosc extension

NumPy is no longer a build dependency for the zarr.blosc Cython extension, so setup.py will run even if NumPy is not already installed, and should automatically install NumPy as a runtime dependency. Manual installation of NumPy prior to installing Zarr is still recommended, however, as the automatic installation of NumPy may fail or be sub-optimal on some platforms.

Some optimizations have been made within the zarr.blosc extension to avoid unnecessary memory copies, giving a ~10-20% performance improvement for multi-threaded compression operations.

The zarr.blosc extension now automatically detects whether it is running within a single-threaded or multi-threaded program and adapts its internal behaviour accordingly (27). There is no need for the user to make any API calls to switch Blosc between contextual and non-contextual (global lock) mode. See also the tutorial section on tutorial_tips_blosc.

Other changes

The internal code for managing chunks has been rewritten to be more efficient. Now no state is maintained for chunks outside of the array store, meaning that chunks do not carry any extra memory overhead not accounted for by the store. This negates the need for the "lazy" option present in the previous release, and this has been removed.

The memory layout within chunks can now be set as either "C" (row-major) or "F" (column-major), which can help to provide better compression for some data (7). See the tutorial section on tutorial_chunks_order for more information.

A bug has been fixed within the __getitem__ and __setitem__ machinery for slicing arrays, to properly handle getting and setting partial slices.
