Hi,<br>
<br>
Just thinking that while updating pieces of a massive target raster file with<br>
several simultaneous writers could probably be doable and make sense with<br>
coverage data like dtm, the advantage is not as great with raster maps and<br>
aerial/satellite image mosaics which need also overviews for effective practical<br>
use. I guess that piecewise automatic updating of overviews could be somewhat<br>
complicated thing to implement. Perhaps raster database formats like PostGIS<br>
raster or Rasterlite would suit better for this sort of update operations.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div style>We've found postgis and most other similar solutions to be a bottleneck when working with massive grids and meshes. We're looking more and more at parallel HDF5 and ROMIO.</div>
