Xarray-Beam: distributed Xarray with Apache Beam

Xarray-Beam is a library for writing Apache Beam pipelines consisting of xarray Dataset objects. This documentation (and Xarray-Beam itself) assumes basic familiarity with both Beam and Xarray.

The documentation includes narrative documentation that will walk you through the basics of writing a pipeline with Xarray-Beam, and also comprehensive API docs.

We recommend reading both, as well as a few end to end examples to understand what code using Xarray-Beam typically looks like.
