Hi All,
I'm investigating upgrading the NetCDF library used in one application,
moving from 4.6.15 to 5.5.3.

During the upgrade attempt I have noticed some inconsistencies and missing
functionalities on the GRIB data that I was using in the application (due
to different naming of the variables). I think it can be related to some
GRIB2 tables that have been modified (so that some variables changed name)
with this change: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-java/pull/601/

I would like to keep using the previous variable names in that application.
Is there any way to provide a hint, a config param, a pluggable factory or
any kind of resource to let that variable's naming keep using the previous
nomenclature?
Is there any type of support for a similar use case?

Please let me know if you have any hints or suggestions on that topic.

Best Regards,

Daniele
