RechunkedDiskArray(parent::AbstractArray, chunks::GridChunks)

A disk array that forces a specific chunk pattern,
regardless of the true chunk pattern of the parnet array.
regardless of the true chunk pattern of the parent array.

This is useful in `zip` and other operations that can iterate
over multiple arrays with different patterns.

"""
rechunk(data::AbstractArray,chunks)

Change the chunks of the underlying DiskArray. Note that this will not change the chunking of the underlying data itself, it will just make the data
"look" like it had a different chunking. If you need a persistent on-disk representation of this chunking, save the resulting array.

The chunks argument can take one of the following forms:

• a DiskArrays.GridChunks object

• a tuple specifying the chunk size along each dimension
