Hello,
GeoServer uses GeoTool's Image Mosaic plugin (and corresponding Image
Mosaic JDBC plugin) to facilitate creating a layer made up of several files
(e.g. GeoTIFF). Currently the only two choices for mosaicing are 1) from a
directory, or 2) a JDBC connected database. Has anyone attempting to create
an Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) based Image Mosaic plugin? Such a
plugin would depend on Amazon's Java AmazonS3Client, which allows for
iterating over all objects and fetching of the objects. Each object would
be a file (e.g. GeoTIFF). Such a plugin's logic would be almost identical
to Image Mosaic plugin, except that instead of getting files in a
directory, it would get S3 objects from a S3 bucket. I envision that such a
S3 based plugin would be valuable as it allows one to create a mosaiced
GeoServer layer backed by cloud storage. Does this idea make sense? Is
there some reason why no one has attempted this?
Thanks, Steve
