Yeah, still that implies that the order of the files specified in the aggregation must be the same as the order of values for the aggregated dimension inside those files themselves. I can find no such specification though, but maybe I am missing it. It seems that in the examples on http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/thredds/current/netcdf-java/ncml/Aggregation.html, the files are always specified in order.

Otherwise we have to the rather expensive operation of going through all of the Strings,convert them to Dates, then find the minimum/maximum for each time getMimimum() and getMaximum() is called. But then again, I wonder if we shouldn't do the same for non-time values (regular CoordinateValue).

What do you think?

Niels

    I think that once the aggregation is in place, times can be in

    Although, it seems that in netcdf-java's
    CoordinateAxis1D.getMinValue() en CoordinateAxis1D.getMaxValue(),
    an assumption is made that the extremes are at the beginning and end.

Good catch. Are you referring to this?
https://github.com/Unidata/thredds/blob/5.0.0/cdm/src/main/java/ucar/nc2/dataset/CoordinateAxis1D.java#L286
https://github.com/Unidata/thredds/blob/5.0.0/cdm/src/main/java/ucar/nc2/dataset/CoordinateAxis1D.java#L295

    It does take into account the order may be decreasing as well as
    increasing, but not random.

    Perhaps we should remain consistent with that?

I would say yes.
Cheers,
Daniele
