Description:
 def merge(self, other, inplace=None, overwrite_vars=frozenset(), compat='no_conflicts', join='outer'):
 """Merge the arrays of two datasets into a single dataset. This method generally not allow for overriding data, with the exception of attributes, which are ignored on the second dataset. Variables with the same name are checked for conflicts via the equals or identical methods. Parameters other : Dataset or castable to Dataset Dataset or variables to merge with this dataset. inplace : bool, optional If True, merge the other dataset into this dataset in-place. Otherwise, return a new dataset object. overwrite_vars : str or sequence, optional If provided, update variables of these name(s) without checking for conflicts in this dataset. compat : {'broadcast_equals', 'equals', 'identical', 'no_conflicts'}, optional String indicating how to compare variables of the same name for potential conflicts: - 'broadcast_equals': all values must be equal when variables are broadcast against each other to ensure common dimensions. - 'equals': all values and dimensions must be the same. - 'identical': all values, dimensions and attributes must be the same. - 'no_conflicts': only values which are not null in both datasets must be equal. The returned dataset then contains the combination of all non-null values. join : {'outer', 'inner', 'left', 'right', 'exact'}, optional Method for joining ``self`` and ``other`` along shared dimensions: - 'outer': use the union of the indexes - 'inner': use the intersection of the indexes - 'left': use indexes from ``self`` - 'right': use indexes from ``other`` - 'exact': error instead of aligning non-equal indexes Returns ------- merged : Dataset Merged dataset. Raises ------ MergeError If any variables conflict (see ``compat``). """
