[Geoserver-devel] [Geotools-devel] NetCDF Plugin

Hi All,

This is a continuation of a thread started in Geoserver-Devel list. I’m adding the Geotools-Devel list since it was suggested that my code changes are be suited in the GeoTools repository.

A little background for the new list of people. We are working on a NetCDF coverage store plugin for GeoServer/GeoTools and would like to give it to the open source community. NetCDF is a gridded data format used in the meteorology and oceanography communities.

I made the suggested changes and moved it to my GeoTools fork:https://github.com/geocent-yancy/geotools/tree/netcdf

I still need to update the README, just noticed it’s a bit outdated. I may get to it over the weekend, more likely on Monday. I also have to make another branch or whatever for the GeoServer changes that will use the GeoTools NetCDF plugin.

Thanks,

Thanks for the feedback. We can certainly make those changes. We were trying to keep things simpler by having everything in one place. The NetCDFFormat can be moved to geotools if that is appropriate, the licenses do not matter to us. We actually have more test data but the files are unfortunately pretty big. We are going to try to get some more test files that are slices of the big data.

A couple small things:

You have added the following to your community/netcdf/pom.xml


<netcdf.version>4.2-min</netcdf.version>

<joda-time.version>1.5.2</joda-time.version>

Can we take those version numbers up to the root pom.xml in the dependency management section, that way we have one place to manage “version hell” for the project (which will help if two modules need joda-time for example).

As for netcdf/src/main/java/org/geocent/geotools/NetCDFFormat.java … is there a reason this is not in the geotools library? Well other than GPL license …

Other than that some non useful feedback on style:

  • If you can try for a class javadoc it helps those using an IDE
  • NearestNeighbor implements IndexingStrategy … we tend to use the interface in the naming so the code reads well: NearestNeighborIndexingStrategy

It is great that you have sample data in support of tests, can you make a note of where the sample data comes from? Say in your README.txt.

Cheers

Hi all,

I have our NetCDF plugin up on my GitHub now: https://github.com/geocent-yancy/geoserver/tree/netcdf

We’d appreciate it if you could take a look before I make a pull request. We realize it still has a ways to go before it is a general purpose NetCDF plugin. But we would like to start getting some more eyes on it.
