Description
"Backend" refers to:
- the backend array API implementation (e.g. NumPy, JAX, CuPy), and
- the backend Zarr store (e.g. Zarr, Tensorstore).
This can be confusing as we have open_backend_array
for opening a Zarr store, and numpy_array_to_backend_array
for converting from a storage array to a backend array API.
I propose that we remove the word "backend" from 2. and just call it a "store" or "storage". So open_backend_array
would become open_storage_array
, and numpy_array_to_backend_array
would become storage_array_to_backend_array
(I suggested the latter in #750).
