When calling
GribMetadata.override()
withheaders_only_clone=True
a new GRIB handle is generated with all the data values (and some related information) removed. With this the resulting object can be significantly smaller, especially if the data section is large.Unfortunately, using this technique resulted in problems when ArrayFields were derived from GRIB data. These fields contain a
GribMetadata
object created with callingGribMetadata.override(headers_only_clone=True)
on the original GRIB metadata.to_numpy()
failssave()
,write()
orGribOutput
As a temporary solution, this PR enforces the use of
headers_only_clone=False
inGribMetadata.override()
. With this the problems above are fixed, but ArrayFields will use more memory than before.The aim is to sort out the problems related to cloning GRIB handles with the headers only option (this possibly requires changes in ecCodes) and enable using
headers_only_clone=True
again.
