[MapProxy] Limit cache storage up to fixed resolution

[Just van den Broecke]

Hi,

I can confirm that Oliver's suggestion (see below) to use 2 caches 
works! So in summary: to limit a cache to store up to a fixed resolution:

"you can create a cache with a limited grid (last level 0.42) and 
another cache with your full grid. The second cache can use the first 
cache as a source and also use disable_storage."

Example MP config:

layers:
   - name: mylayer
     title: My Title ...
     sources: [full_cache]

caches:
   full_cache:
     grids: [full_grid]
     disable_storage: true
     sources: [mbtiles_cache]
     format: image/jpeg

   mbtiles_cache:
     grids: [limited_grid]
     sources: [my_wms]
     format: image/jpeg
     cache:
       type: mbtiles
       filename: my.mbtiles

Best,

Just van den Broecke
