xarray.Dataset.load_async

async Dataset.load_async(**kwargs)

Trigger and await asynchronous loading of data into memory and return this dataset.

Data will be computed and/or loaded from disk or a remote source.

Unlike .compute, the original dataset is modified and returned.

Only works when opening data lazily from IO storage backends which support lazy asynchronous loading. Otherwise will raise a NotImplementedError.

Note users are expected to limit concurrency themselves - xarray does not internally limit concurrency in any way.

Parameters:

**kwargs (dict) – Additional keyword arguments passed on to dask.compute.

Returns:

object (Dataset) – Same object but with lazy data variables and coordinates as in-memory arrays.
