reading directly from S3

[djarecka]

Please describe your wishes and possible alternatives to achieve the desired result.

I would like to read anndata files directly from S3 without need to download them. Some existing anndata file are pretty big, and we can't ask everyone to download the content first.

This is related to the discussion in #634

Possible solution:
Using remfile library that provides a file-like object for reading a remote file over HTTP, optimized for use with h5py. See a draft PR #1322

OK so #634 is an existing issue for this. Sorry for the confusion.

I’m going to close this issue, we’ll figure out the best path in #634 and go from there!
