Hi,
some time ago I asked feedback on this question, related to importing
(eventually
big) rasters:
1) The client indicates that one or more "golden" images need to be importer
into GeoServer for WMS/WCS usage. The original files are big, and must
not be touched, so ideally the client would just tell GeoServer where
the
files are (disk shares) and GeoServer should copy them autonomously
I proposed a few options, but got no feedback.
In the spirit of collaboration, here is what I'm going to do. The REST api
will recognize a new bit in "data" called "source", which can be either
a plain string, or an array of strings, something like this:
"data": {
"type": "directory",
"source": "/mnt/share/myImage.tif",
}
When this tag is found, the file (or files) pointed by source will be
treated
as data that needs to be copied over to GeoServer, and the importer
will act just like as is it was an upload, it will grab those files, copy
them locally into a random subdirectory of $DATA_DIR/uploads,
and then move from there as if the file had gotten uploaded.
I am planning to use commons VFS just like it's already done with
compressed files to perform the copy, in the hopes to support
more sources (like FTP), although I see we are depending on
an old version (1.0 instead of the current 2.0), and I'm not sure
what 1.0 supports, or how hard an upgrade to 2.0 would be.
The goal/scope for this set of changes is just to copy over from a share
to local file system, but I don't want to corner the module on it.
Cheers
Andrea
