Use zarrita rather than zarr.js

[keller-mark]

Fixes #

Background

• SpatialData examples contain arrays of <i8 integers. ZarrJS does not support these Support BigInt64Array gzuidhof/zarr.js#143
• Zarr v3 is coming and zarrita supports this
• ZarrJS has a large bundle size, in part due to support for writing, which we do not need. Zarrita is tree-shakeable.
• Zarrita supports decoding string arrays stored as vlen-utf8, so we can get rid of that code here
• ZarrJS does not support unicode string arrays with dtype like <U7
• ZarrJS does not support zero-dimensional array access (e.g., scalar value stored as Zarr with shape [])

Change List

• Wrap viv things before passing to ZarrPixelSource. Code adapted from feat: replace zarr.js with zarrita.js hms-dbmi/vizarr#172
• Convert from strided to nested in Polygon loader
• Use es2020 as target since es2019 does not support BigInt.
  • Previous reasoning: Use es2019 in vite config #1553
  • Now, portal-ui is on Webpack 5 so it might no longer be an issue to use es2020. (Not sure if other users of vitessce are still on Webpack 4)

TODO

• Use Zarrita in higlass-zarr-datafetchers WIP: zarr dependency higlass/higlass-zarr-datafetchers#2
• Contribute a ZarritaPixelSource to viv: Current ZarrPixelSource does not tree-shake-out ZarrJS because it imports its slice function Allow for passing slice type hms-dbmi/viv#698
• Contribute to Zarrita
  • Docs: How to access .attrs
    • Need to open() after root() in order to access
  • Docs: Example of accessing strided array
  • Docs: Need to await zarr.root
  • Docs: Need to put requestInit in FetchStore(url, { overrides: requestInit });
  • API docs
• Way to prioritize v2 over v3 when opening to avoid extra requests
  • idea: Store can hold counters for how many v2 / v3 metadata files it has "seen" so far. Then can prioritize v2/v3 based on which counter is higher Version counters manzt/zarrita.js#109
• Discuss splitting FileSystemStore into separate package to avoid node dependencies in same package as FetchStore (causes problems in webpack 5 resolve.fallback and resolve.alias do not work with node: prefix webpack/webpack#14166)
• Add github links to package.json files so the links appear on NPM pages https://github.com/manzt/zarrita.js/blob/main/packages/zarrita/package.json
• Add tests / examples which use ES6 Map as an in-memory store
• FileSystemAccess-based Store implementation?
• consolidated metadata function or computed property on root?
• Explore decoding off main thread - Zarr Loader Decoding Off Main Thread hms-dbmi/viv#142 and image load failures due to bad abort support in geotiff hms-dbmi/viv#604 (comment)
• Support for AbortController on async stores More careful check for zarr store that supports abort controller hms-dbmi/viv#299

[manzt]

Cool! Want to chat this week about the zarrita TODOs? I can take a stab at improving these

[keller-mark]

@manzt yes! Will follow up on slack
