Support data sources containing cloud-optimized geotiffs #18
Comments
I think this needs more thought. The data source should be able to serve images directly to materialization rather than going through ingestion. Some data sources like ones serving WebMercator tiles might support materialization only, no ingestion. |
This also adds concept for XyzTiles dataset. Related to #18.
I assigned myself to start the work on this for XyzTiles, but right now to add COG I'm not sure there's really a good use case, most of the data out there is not actually COG. |
Planetary Computer datasets might be a good use case if we start using that. |
Although there is no generic COG data source, there is one for Planetary Computer that is a good example of doing that. |
Some data sources may point to stores of "Cloud-Optimized" GeoTIFFs that support range requests. Reads of arbitrary portions of these data sources are possible.
For these data sources, it would be ideal to avoid downloading the entire GeoTIFF. Instead, the user should be able to specify that only needed portions of the GeoTIFF should be read. However, this is different from our current ingestion process, where we read entire items; we could represent each block of the GeoTIFF as a different item, but this is far from ideal.
