feat(ts): add consolidateMetadata option to toOmeZarr - #738
Conversation
TypeScript counterpart to #737, which gave the Python `to_ome_zarr` a `consolidate_metadata` kwarg so a store bound for a backend that runs its own consolidation -- Icechunk rejects a consolidated block outright -- can skip it (#698). The flag had nothing to switch off here: the TypeScript writer never consolidated. zarrita writes node documents but has no consolidation API, exporting only the `withConsolidated` / `tryWithConsolidated` readers. So the block is assembled in `utils/consolidate_metadata.ts` from the documents the writer just wrote, mirroring `_zarrista_utils.consolidate_metadata` and therefore what `zarr.consolidate_metadata` produces: array entries carry the `attributes` and `storage_transformers` defaults zarr-python always materializes, and a nested dataset path gives each ancestor group its own (vacuously consolidated) entry. `toOmeZarr` now consolidates by default, matching Python, with `consolidateMetadata: false` to opt out; `toOmeZarrOzx` / `toOmeZarrOzxData` take the same option, and the root key keeps its position in the store map so RFC-9's root-document-first ordering holds. Only Zarr v3 is in play -- the writer emits no v2 documents -- so the v2 `.zmetadata` sidecar and the stale-sidecar guard Python needs have no counterpart: a v3 write replaces the root document wholesale, so re-writing a consolidated store without consolidation leaves it unconsolidated rather than stale. That same wholesale replacement is why the in-place `upgradeOmeZarr` rewrite now restores consolidation when the source had it, matching the refresh Python's `upgrade_ome_zarr` does; without it a re-tag would silently de-consolidate the store. `fromOmeZarr` does not yet benefit: zarrita's consolidated reader understands only the v2 sidecar. The block is written for the readers that do use it, zarr-python and hence the Python package among them.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds configurable Zarr v3 metadata consolidation to regular and RFC-9 OME-Zarr writers. It adds consolidation utilities, preserves metadata during upgrades, documents the option, and tests memory, ZIP, and filesystem stores. ChangesMetadata consolidation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Upgrading a consolidated store can silently remove inline metadata for existing non-dataset child nodes, leaving readers with an incomplete consolidated hierarchy. Nested dataset consolidation behavior also lacks direct regression coverage, so this should be resolved before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Preserve existing child nodes during consolidation refresh. When a consolidated store contains a child node not listed in multiscales.metadata.datasets, datasetNodePaths omits it. consolidateMetadata then replaces the inline metadata with only the dataset paths, while the child document remains outside the consolidated hierarchy. Capture existing inline metadata keys before zarr.create and union them with the current dataset paths.

TypeScript counterpart to #737, which gave the Python
to_ome_zarraconsolidate_metadatakwarg so a store bound for a backend that runs its own consolidation can skip it. Icechunk rejects a consolidated block outright — that is the motivating case in #698.The flag had nothing to switch off
The TypeScript writer never consolidated. zarrita writes node documents but has no consolidation API: it exports the
withConsolidated/tryWithConsolidatedreaders and nothing that writes the block. So a bareconsolidateMetadataoption would have been a no-op, and reaching parity meant writing the block first.ts/src/utils/consolidate_metadata.tsassembles it from the documents the writer just wrote, mirroring_zarrista_utils.consolidate_metadataand therefore whatzarr.consolidate_metadataproduces:attributesandstorage_transformersdefaults zarr-python always materializes;Verified against a Python-written baseline (
py/test/data/baseline/zarr3/v0.5/cthead1/2_4/): block shape,kind,must_understandand the per-entry fields all match. The only differences trace to the pre-existing dataset-path divergence between the two writers (scale0/imagein Python, flatscale0in TypeScript).What changed
toOmeZarr(Node and browser) takesconsolidateMetadata?: boolean, defaulttrueto match Python. Passfalseto skip it.toOmeZarrOzx/toOmeZarrOzxDatatake the same option. The root key keeps its position in the store map, so RFC-9's root-document-first ordering still holds — asserted in the tests.upgradeOmeZarrImplrestores consolidation after the in-place root rewrite when the source had it, matching the refresh Python'supgrade_ome_zarrdoes. This is not optional:zarr.createreplaces the root document wholesale, so without it the new default would make a re-tag silently de-consolidate the store.docs/typescript.mddocuments the option.ts/test/consolidate_metadata_test.ts— 9 tests mirroringpy/test/test_consolidate_metadata.py.Two notes for review
No zarr-v2 stale-sidecar guard. Python needs one because a v2 store keeps consolidated metadata in a separate
.zmetadatasidecar that an in-place write would leave stale. The TypeScript writer emits Zarr v3 documents only — even forversion: "0.4", which writes v3 documents with v0.4 attributes (a pre-existing gap, untouched here). A v3 write replaces the root document wholesale, so re-writing a consolidated store withconsolidateMetadata: falseleaves it unconsolidated rather than stale. That is the same v3 reasoning #737 relies on, and it is covered by a test.fromOmeZarrdoes not yet benefit. zarrita 0.6.1'swithConsolidatedreads only the Zarr v2.zmetadatasidecar, which this writer never emits — checked in the resolved source, not assumed. The block is written for the readers that do use it, zarr-python and hence the Python package among them, which is what keeps the two implementations' output equivalent. Teaching the TypeScript reader to use the v3 block is a separate follow-up; the docs say so plainly rather than overclaiming.Testing
