Collection update endpoint supports merge #462
Description
Why
Aggregated information such collection summaries of item dates and spatiotemporal extent updates based on contained items inserted by our ingestion pipelines could be lost if replacing a collection record.
Description
A "merge" operation should be supported in the ingest API (and STAC Transactions extension?) that maintains existing aggregated metadata when replacing or updating a collection record. This logic could merge the existing summaries object with a new STAC collection.
Acceptance Criteria
- Ingestion API /
collectionsPOST endpoint includes logic to merge existing aggregating metadata if it exists
