      public interface ILazyDataset
      extends Serializable, IMetadataProvider, INameable

        a (shallow) copy of dataset

    - #### setErrors

          void setErrors(Serializable errors)

      Set the errors. It may be a single double, a double array or a whole dataset that can broadcast to the dataset
      Parameters:
        `errors` - - may be null to remove the error set
      Throws:
        `RuntimeException` - if the rank or shape are incorrect
      Since:
        2.0

    - #### getErrors

          ILazyDataset getErrors()

      Get the errors, if any. These will be in a shape that can broadcast to the dataset
      Since:
        2.0

    - #### hasErrors

          boolean hasErrors()

      If error information is set, returns true. Faster to call than getError() which constructs a new dataset.
