Description
While trying to reference a zarr dataset on S3 for the https://github.com/ratt-ru/quartical-aws-tutorial, Quartical was unable to open one the ANTENNA subtable because the metadata for the MAIN and all subtables had been consolidated into the root directory. This change was introduced in:
I propose moving metadata consolidation into either dask-ms convert
and/or dask-ms consolidate
so that MS-like datasets are consolidated holistically, rather than dealing with MAIN/subtables individually
