Get rid of plainbuffer support? #447

Closed FrancescAlted closed 3 years ago

FrancescAlted commented 3 years ago

Right now the support for plainbuffers inside ironArray is rather flaky. The reason is that they are not as flexible as the Blosc backend, like for example:

Not support for parallelism
Storage not implemented
Code pervasiviness (too many if (plainbuffer)... else ...)

Also NumPy/Python is a direct competitor for ironArray+plainbuffer.

We discussed this and voted for removal. See https://github.com/inaos/iron-array/issues/458.
