Improve safe chunk validation (#9527)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
* fix safe chunks validation

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* fix safe chunks validation

* Update xarray/tests/test_backends.py

Co-authored-by: Maximilian Roos <[email protected]>

* The validation of the chunks now is able to detect full or partial chunk and raise a proper error based on the mode selected, it is also possible to use the auto region detection with the mode "a"

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* The test_extract_zarr_variable_encoding does not need to use the region parameter

* Inline the code of the allow_partial_chunks and end, document the parameter in order on the extract_zarr_variable_encoding method, raise the correct error if the border size is smaller than the zchunk on mode equal to r+

* Inline the code of the allow_partial_chunks and end, document the parameter in order on the extract_zarr_variable_encoding method, raise the correct error if the border size is smaller than the zchunk on mode equal to r+

* Now the mode r+ is able to update the last chunk of Zarr even if it is not "complete"

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* Now the mode r+ is able to update the last chunk of Zarr even if it is not "complete"

* Add a typehint to the modes to avoid issues with mypy
