Description
I think we can continue the discussion we have in #1426 about MultiIndex
here.
In comment , @shoyer recommended to remove MultiIndex
from public API.
I agree with this, as long as my codes work with this improvement.
I think if we could have a list of possible MultiIndex
use cases here,
it would be easier to deeply discuss and arrive at a consensus of the future API.
Current limitations of MultiIndex
are
- It drops scalar coordinate after selection .sel does not keep selected coordinate value in case with MultiIndex #1408, Selecting over a MultiIndex coordinate drops coordinate in question #1491
- It does not support to serialize to NetCDF MultiIndex serialization to NetCDF #1077
- Stack/unstack behaviors are inconsistent inconsistent behavior in stack/unstack along one dimension #1431
